Excellent Lunch
I guess this will be like a hat-trick! I have found the third and probably the best joint on St. Marks Road, in terms of the food, closely followed by Lakeview Milk Bar and Koshy's.
What struck me first as I stepped into their cramped place, which is the Air Conditioned zone, is that there are just 3 concrete tables with concrete benches. Very uncomfortable, if you ask me! They have placed a TV on the wall near their counter and they play music from the radio. They have a small built-in refrigerator and a shelf with pastries in wicker baskets. There are more tables outside which is what most people prefer. However, if you have come to gobble I suggest sit inside. The food will be closer to your mouth! :-)
I loved the fact that their menu holds every kinda fast food that goes with the Indian palette. Sandwiches, burgers, omlettes, salads, coffee, tea, chocolate, the list goes almost endlessly. Each item moderately priced between Rs. 50 - 120, an approximate. They actually have an equal variety in their bevarages list too. Most restaurants concentrate only the food and compromise on the variety with regard to drinks.
The food arrived deliciously soon. We didn't have to wait too long considering the long order we placed. And once they arrived, we couldn't stop ordering till we licked the plates clean. I had ordered Irish coffee with a sandwich with ham and egg. Both were brought fresh ad piping hot! A wonderful continental lunch.
They undertake catering, home deliveries and you can drive in and order and feast in your car! Fine idea, with the lack of space. But this is only if you find parking place. The place gets unbelievably crowded. And mind you when you order; extra tisuues cost you a grand! :-)

Best for comfort food
First off, if you're claustrophobic, you may wanna consider sitting outside, coz you may feel like a canned sardine inside (ok, maybe that's a lil too much), but otherwise, this place is pretty dandy. It's a very small place, so if you happen to visit when college students or the pretentious "yo crowd" of Bangalore decides to hang out there, parking your bottoms may be an issue.
The menu is classic cafe material- coffees, teas, and beverages, along with burgers, sandwiches, quiches, pastries, etc. The food is good and fresh, and the service is quick. In case you're trying a burger, try the 'Tons of fun burger', which comes with an option of lamb or chicken. It's a big burger, with lamb/chicken, egg, chicken salami, and the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. I just loved the burger, and I have to say I've been on the lookout for a good burger all my life in Bangalore, this place so far I think has the real deal. For those who are satisfied with the crap a McD's or KFC throws at you, then you can go and ... never mind.
The smoothies are sinfully good, but in all honesty, I've never had a bad smoothie thus far, so maybe you can ignore this. This place isn't overly expensive and neither is it cheap, but the food here is most certainly better than the 'food' dished out at most other cafes, like a Casa Picola or CCD. That's right, you heard me, this place serves better food than a Casa Picola. They may not have the variety a Casa Picola offers you, but at least they ensure you quality with what they serve. Definetly worth a visit if you're going down St Marks road.
Also, try to step inside and check out the AC they have. I've never seen an 'upright standing AC', and this thing looks really cool.

THE BEST SANDWICHES IN TOWN
HMMMMMMMM...........is what you'd ideally say when u bite into the sandwiches from ICE AND SPICE.
Sandwiches are available everywhere, and then there is Ice and Spice.You would love it.
Have eaten them half a dozen times now, since July.
The Non-Veg Club Sandwich is made from a layer of chicken,some pickles,tomatoes, and another with egg,mayonnaise and cheese. Large in Size,served with cole slaw and chips.Price 90/-.
The Egg sandwich which is around 55/- bucks is good too...layers of eggs and mayonnaise.
The Veg is suprisngly amazing, as a complete non-veggie myself, expected the veg to be a bit boring.Bit it turned out equally good. 65/- with cheese i guess.
The St.Marks road outlet is small but nice.U could either sit out or inside.
Also serves good burgers, subs, and pasteries.
The choclate brownie is simply mindblowing bet u wouldn't find one better than this.
The Mississippi mudpie is a good choice for those choclate lovers.
Simply put, amazing sandwiches , decent on the price, still most importantly a definite a must have.

Mouth-Watering burgers
This places gives Indiana's a run for its money.Its lamb burgers are dellllllicious. 50 bucks a burger. But its a small place without much of a seating capacity. They do server 'em up in your car though. Must go!
