Caffeine Couture - Coffee | Kitchen | Bakehouse — Restaurant in Bengaluru

I went here today evening at around 7:00 pm, had some light snacks, coffee. I stayed here for quite some time because it was raining quite heavily and the area nearby had power failure, even the CCD in ground floor of this building had no power backup. Now coming to the items I had:

Mocha Coffee: It was average. Pretty average in taste, nothing worth mentioning about it. I am not sure how and what anyone finds about the coffee here. But yes, it was served very aesthetically. Way of presentation is good. Rating: 3/5 French Fries with Peri-peri add on: It was average too. Rating: 3/5 Butter Croissant: Average in taste. It wasn't soft and didn't feel as fresh. Rating: 3/5 Eggs Benedict: Average in taste. It didn't feel anything special or worth mentioning about. Rating: 3/5

Overall verdict: The food quality wise is average here. Price of items is overpriced. The only thing worth mentioning or remembering about this place is that the way they serve the food is aesthetic, it will be loved by those people who focus less on the quality of food/snacks but more on the way of presentation, something which they can put photos on instagram. Although it wasn't much crowded but still the waiting time here was like around 20 mins. This place focuses less on quality of food but more on the way of how the food is presented. A total show off place. Not sure how they got a rating of 4.9(maybe fake reviews). Even I am not sure if any 5 star hotels/restaurants have a rating of 4.9 on Google reviews.

P.S. I went here on 2nd June evening, it was raining here and this so called aesthetic/ambience filled place had water leaking all over the place. I am adding photos of this place and you can see how the people here were busy taking care of the leaking water and...

The ambiance, food, work-friendliness and views, everything is impeccable!

I discovered Caffeine Couture through a friend a few months ago and have never stopped recommending it since then!

It’s pet-friendly, wheelchair accessible, and has a semi-workstation setup by the window that’s perfect to accommodate folks like me that work from home/anywhere. There’s great natural lighting, good books to read, an incredibly clean washroom, and a great ambiance all around that’s classy and high finesse. The staff are great, quick to help, and the place is air conditioned too!

Now, the food. I’m not exaggerating when I say that EVERYTHING is incredible! I’ve had so many things on the menu that I’ve lost track. I’ve only uploaded some pictures that I was patient enough to take. The presentation of everything is also very high calibre and is equivalent to some of the fine dining places I’ve been to. The food was too good for me to be patient enough to take pictures, I just dove right in.

The taste, quantities and hygiene are all excellent, for all of the food and drinks on the menu! My personal favourites: • Beverage - Iced Coffee or Tea • Starter - Zesty Za’atar Chicken (MUST try) • Salad - Caesar’s Salad (incredible authenticity) • All day breakfast - Smoked Salmon on Toast and the American Hot Dog • Desserts - Churros with Chocolate Dip (the quantity of the churros and also chocolate dip is INCREDIBLE! Every bite was loaded with chocolate)

This place is the closest thing in Bangalore I’ve seen to good western establishments in cities like Dubai. It’s a hidden gem on Haralur Road for now but I hope they open more outlets across the city like in Indiranagar and other places so that the whole city can enjoy the experience of dining at Caffeine Couture.

Vegetarians please read: Giving one star for the staffs and bakers for not being aware if the bakes & desserts contain egg or not. I have been to this place several times. The last time when I visited, I asked one of the staffs standing near the counter about what all options do I have in eggless desserts kept in the display as there was no red or green sign mark. I liked one dessert by its look, so i enquired, he said it contains egg. But then I showed him in the Swiggy app delivery menu where it was marked as green. I asked him if it contains egg then why it is marked as green in swiggy app. To that he replied that there is no egg inside the dessert but we brush all the bakes and desserts with egg mixture to give the glaze. I was shocked to his answer. He said all the breads used in vegetarian dishes are also glazed with that egg mixture. When he saw me getting amazed and offended, he said he will check with the baker and let me know. After that he called the head baker. The head baker also said yes in the start but when i asked him if it is brushed with egg then why it is called eggless. To which they changed the answers that eggless ones are not glazed with egg. But I was not convinced at all after that. This is india and not some foreign country where they are treating egg as veg. I wont be amazed if tomorrow they are serving non veg curries to the veg people after removing the meat/chicken pieces. My point is be transparent with the customers. If your food and dessert contains egg tell the customer. even if you have zero eggless options. Thats ok. There are many cafes in bangalore who doesnt have a single eggless dessert on their counter but they dnt lie. Hope they read...
