For whom is this store a must? I would highly recommend this place to coffee addicts, especially those who enjoy making their own coffee. They offer a great assortment of locally sourced (fresh) coffee beans at reasonable prices. The store itself is a bit small with limited seating space, but the coffee is fantastic. Also, the barista is very knowledgeable and can make some good recommendations for you. I’ve also visited their original store in Coorg, and this location is a great spot to stock up on supplies without needing to travel all the way to Coorg. It’s also convenient for a quick walk-in to pick up your daily dose of java. Especially loved the Monsoon Malabar blend. Also tried cappuccino in the plantation berry blend, which was nice. Have tried honey and other assortments from them on previous occasions, which I quite enjoyed. For whom is this store not? This is not the place to visit if you’re looking for a traditional “cafe vibe.” It’s more of a retail store for their excellent products and a quick coffee-to-go, perhaps with some food to accompany it. But you would be disappointed if you are going for a proper cafe where you can sit and spend hours and do...
Read moreIf the Ainmane Madikeri Store is a 5-star store with 5 star experience, I would give this store 2 stars. Doesn't have the same variety of products, poor barista expertise, and very small store - not ideal for drinking coffee in the store.
I endorse Ainmane to many of my coffee aficionado friends, and they were disappointed on multiple occasions for the fact that this store does not have the variety of coffees that I had recommended including Plantion Berry, Kabbe Estate, Chocolates, Spices, Cashew concentrates, etc. Rather they were given alternatives like filter coffee and Hardoor estate which are very inferior compared to Plantation Berry and Kabbe estate. And, the grind size was asked for French press, and it was grinded to espresso machine - something that was realized only after opening the packet at home.
I HOPE THIS IS TAKEN AS A CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK RATHER THAN A POOR REVIEW. Would love to visit again and hope to see if there are more varieties of coffee. WE LOVE SUPPORTING LOCAL STORES THAT OFFER GREAT QUALITY AND VARIETY OF COFFEES THAN BLINDLY PURCHASING FROM CORPORATE STRUCTURE...
Read moreI visit Ainmane regularly, and it is always a delightful experience. The cozy ambiance and warm staff make me feel right at home. The highlight of the visit is their exceptional filter coffee; it has a rich aroma and perfect balance of flavors. Their cold coffee is equally refreshing, especially on a hot day.
I couldn't resist trying their banana walnut cake, and it was a heavenly treat. Soft, flavorful, and with just the right amount of sweetness.
What's unique about Ainmane is their selection of Ainmane brand chocolates, honey, cashews, and jams. I had the opportunity to sample some of their chocolates, and they were a chocolate lover's dream. The honey and cashews were of top-notch quality, and the jams are a homemade charm.
Overall, Ainmane is a hidden gem for coffee and dessert lovers. Whether you're in the mood for a classic filter coffee or indulging in their delectable treats, this coffee shop is a must-visit for those seeking a cozy and...
