Pull and Pour Speciality Coffee — Restaurant in Punjab

The Focaccia Meatball Sandwich @pullandpourindia

This review should've been on my page weeks ago considering I closely saw the turnaround & re-launch of what is now my favourite Café in Mohali. I've been a part of this journey from the day I left @amritmakkar surprised by guessing what his new venture is with @katocharchit

That conversation progressed to discussing a probable Menu; going to one of my fav spots for trying food & coffee to have a benchmark for PAP; but what truly mattered was the zeal & dedication of Amrit to put out one of the best Sourdoughs in the Tricity. It had to have the best organic flour, naturally fermented, he acquired the best oven for the bread & even enrolled for a short baking course. All this was aligned with the thought of making available top quality Sourdough that's reasonably affordable & to build a community around a local bakery.

As I write today, Amrit & Archit have managed to principally achieve what they set out to do. The bakery offers the best sandwiches in Mohali & amongst the best in the region using in-house organic Sourdough breads. You can use their Sourdough subscription; watch the baking process; follow their daily Time-Table for baking different breads to get the freshest breads; bake with the team during occasional baking events etc. PAP even offers you their Sourdough Starter should you want to start baking at home. This sets them apart from others & makes PAP a fun, casual spot & sort of builds this sense of belongingness within the community they're out to create.

The quality of ingredients is apparent in the food they serve, this Focaccia Sandwich is beyond a single flavour, it's part Italian, part middle eastern & has an underlying hint of Indian Spices. The meatballs are juicy, the cheese is perfectly goeey, the pickled onions are sparingly used to just pop the acidity infrequently & not subdue the mildly spiced meatballs & the herby nutty pesto. This meatball sandwich would be my top recommendation here, it's flavourful, comforting & addictive.. I'm...

Dropped by Pull and Pour in Mohali and had a genuinely satisfying experience. It’s a neat, clean, cozy café with a rustic charm — imperfect walls, some painted, some left raw — giving it a relaxed, earthy vibe that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment.

We tried a bunch of things: • Vietnamese coffee (Good, though personally, I prefer the one at bluetokai for its stronger balance) • Frappe (Well-made and refreshing) • Matcha & Mango Matcha (Tasted nice, though I wasn’t too sure about the syrup they used — it felt a little off from what I expected in a pure matcha drink) • Pulled jackfruit sandwich on sourdough • Grilled chicken focaccia sandwich • Chicken Caesar salad

What really stood out was the freshness of the bread — both sourdough and focaccia were excellent. The sandwiches were packed with flavor, and I especially loved that they came with green chutney instead of the usual ketchup. It preserved the original flavor beautifully — a big win for someone like me who’s conscious about what goes on my plate.

The chicken Caesar salad was light, crisp, and well done too.

All in all, Pull and Pour is a great pick for anyone looking for clean, well-prepared food in a calm, non-commercial setting. If you’re someone who appreciates healthier café options without all the noise, this place will...

I’ve been visiting this café almost daily, and I must say the food and coffee are consistently amazing. The atmosphere is great, and everything is reasonably priced, which is why I keep coming back. However, there is one thing I don’t quite understand. There’s a tip box at the bill counter, and when I asked what the tip money is used for, the staff mentioned that it’s used for cooking food for themselves.

While I appreciate the honesty, I find it a bit confusing. The café is already running well and offering great value for money. The food is priced fairly, and the service is good, so I don’t quite see the need for an additional tip, especially when the staff is presumably already paid well.

If the tips were being used to help those in need, I’d understand, but using it internally when the business seems to be doing well doesn’t quite sit right with me.

Overall, I love this café and will continue to enjoy their offerings, but I do hope they reconsider the use of...
