Ol' Brit Cafe
Anytime you have to meet friends and you want to hit a coffee place, and you are saturated till your eyebrows with the usual CCDs and Baristas, definitely Koshy's is a safe bet.
Stumbled upon this place while passing through St. Marks Road when I first came to Bangalore because the very common Keralite name caught my eye, but it is anything but south Indian. Very much Brit. Well, the Indian British. Established a few decades pre-Independence, the place has an aura which gives you a very vivid picture of the English culture in India. The cafe is not renovated too much since it was first set up, though the last time I was there I had seen fresh paint on the walls.
If you have loved an experience in India Coffee Houses, then you would know what I am talking about. The food is varied, they serve toasts, omlettes, beef cutlets, the works; and they serve tea in pots too (which is my all-time fave). Their menu card do not have a lotta options, maybe because they never bothered to revise it, which is perfect for people like me who do not want fancy names and fancier prices when all you want is a good high tea time with friends. I'd suggest you to opt a post lunch tea or coffee time to set foot in here because they don't serve food in large quantities. Also they serve beer and smoking is definitely allowed.
Very spartan decor. Rather absolutely no decor. And that doesn't detain any patrons. The crowd is an equal proportion of foreigners, the old and the youth. You usually catch a bunch of old-timers catching up at this place. Probably this was the CCD/Barista of their times.

Chilled out place
This place is one of my favorites in Bangalore, specially the fried eggs, minced mutton toast, masala omlette, and appam on sundays. The average cost per head would be Rs 300.
Lovely place, it also serves alcohol!
