Cafe Herald — Restaurant in Pune

Discovered a very cozy cafe in the heart of the city on East Street, Pune Camp area. A quaint looking place with zero pretensions but one that holds a treasure of good food and excellent chai, coffee and other beverages. It has a very warm and homely feel to it, a simple place with an old-age charm to it. Perfect for a spontaneous walk-in or a chai adda. We began with Melon Berry and Bloody Detox, both of which set the tone for good things to come. Next was Shakshouka served with toast generously buttered. Served on the pan, I've never had anything taste better than this. Chicken Grilled Sandwich was delicious, filled to the brim with goodness. Egg Mushroom Omelette served with toast also left us asking for more. The tea can only be described as incomparable. A sip and it was a direct connection to satisfaction. Do visit this Cafe for all the right reasons, you will never be...

I have a list of rotating favorites at The Café Herald which include a spicy minced chicken noodles dish that makes me feel as if I have been transported back to a Kuala Lumpur street food stall of delicious, every time I eat it. Spicy chicken sausages with a very fresh spinach, cheese and mushroom omlette make for a great Sunday brunch plate. The very friendly staff includes another personal favorite of mine, named Sameer. I wish that this artsy garage-style café would serve a small selection of wines and craft beers to go with their menu and environment and also open up the ENTIRE space to link the snooker playing young people next door directly with the café environment to give it an increased upbeat vibe, that will balance out some of the people who seem to come here to do hours of activity that should really be done inside a State Bank of...

The café has a charming vintage feel—back in the day it even featured English-paper prints—and the menu itself reads like a mini magazine!

We loved sipping on their freshly brewed coffee and soothing tea, while soaking in the slow, comforting vibe that makes you want to stay and chat for hours.

Special shout-out to Stacy and Star, who were absolutely adorable and made our visit...
