Though this place is small... it's never full and I'm quite suprised cos I found it economical and at the same time a nice place to sit back and chill.
Try the pancakes! they're suprisingly good.
Even the thupka is decent though they take very long to make it.. which in some way is good, cos you know they're making it fresh! And you don't mind the wait cos even if you don't have interesting company... they've got a good range of comics, right from Tin tin to garfield to some pretty whacked out Indian comics!

I enjoy continental breakfast on weekends, and this is just one of the few places in Koramangala where it is served.
Situated on the 80 feet road, the view from the 1st floor honestly is drab. But being blend into the rhyme and rhythm of Bangalore, I actually find it comforting to watch the hurry-burry of vehicles at the Koramangala junction from the glass-wall of the cafe, on a Sunday morning. They play radio music and have a collection of comics and magazines, which are actually outdated and old, but makes a very pleasant combination when served with finger-licking, lip-smacking waffles, crepes, toasts and hot coffee.
They are not very keen on hygiene. I have noticed an occassional straying mosquito in the sugar jar or sometimes leftovers on the table from the previous customer's meal. Their hot chocolate is weak. Barely hot, barely chocolate. For the prices tagged, you could definitely find more quantity of continental food, but not in Koramangala.
Despite these drawbacks, I close my eyes and enjoy their omlettes, ham and cheese crepe, sauteed sausages, waffles with honey, their English Breakfast and Ham Basket.
Hmm... bliss!

Cafe Terra is a 26+2 seater (yes I counted the chairs), small, first floor joint in Koramangla. Small enough to be comfortable. Big enough to have a decent number of items on the menu.
Sandwiches, waffles, bacon, muffins, omlettes, pasta, pancakes, toast ... and loads more. I sampled the Belgian breakfast which had waffles with honey, muffin/cake, coffee/tea, potatoes. It cost 110 INR and the 'yum' factor was really high.
One aspect that I think enhances your time here is the big shelf of comics and magazines. I jumped on the MAD magazine that I thought I hadn't read. The food ordered came quick too. Tintin, Asterix, Garfield, Calvin n Hobbes, DC comics and other magazines are separately shelved. How cool is that! It turned out to be one really relaxed and lazy Sunday breakfast.
Wifey enjoyed the Garfield which was a Diet special issue and was laughing throughout. She also loved the coffee. I had little trouble with the tea. The milk came in a teacup which i found hard to transfer without spilling. (Not because I was laughing hard at the Mad gag)
The decor is very basic and frankly not even important if you consider what’s on the table.
This place is womanned by a pleasant mannered lady. The smiling waiters compliment her style. A breakfast for 2 will set you back by Rs 250. Other items are reasonably priced.
Simply Terrafic!! :)
Peace.

In the mood to hang out at a charming, little café on lazy weekend and indulge in some waffles or crepes? Café Terra, formerly known as Dek Lekkerbek, is hidden in the first floor of a building in 80 feet road in Koramangala. Wrought iron and rubberwood furniture, framed prints on the walls and a bookcase in one corner with Tintin comics work together to create a bistro-diner feel. The restaurant, which specializes in Belgian waffles, has a menu which includes breakfast items such as omelettes, sausages and crepes, lunch options including soups, starters, pastas, noodles and grilled and baked dishes, and a variety of hot and cold beverages.
Try the Belgian waffles with seasonal fruit. Our waffles came with sliced bananas and pineapples and decorated with chocolate syrup with a side of maple syrup. They were delicious. The ham and cheese crepes were good too although the crepe or the base could have been a bit lighter. The scrambled eggs which came with toast were fluffy and very well made. Coffee was passable.
Service is somewhat slow but friendly. Parking is available on the road. Breakfast for two is approximately Rs.250. Go there for breakfast on a weekend with significant others. Kids will enjoy the meal too.
