The 7 Best Coffee Shops In Bangalore, How do these rankings work?

1. Third Wave Coffee Roasters

They have several locations across the city and a dedication to delivering pure perfection in a cup. Their name ties back to a mission to produce high quality coffee (read more here) and they’re certainly doing that in Bangalore via their brilliant staff.

2. The Flying Squirrel

The Flying Squirrel is so much more than just one of Bangalore’s best coffee shops. They also sell brewing equipment, subscriptions for beans and provide training for the next generation of baristas.

They place a big emphasis on traceability, and the end results is outstanding.

3. Coffee Mechanics

The owners of Coffee Mechanics come from a lineage of coffee makers who have been doing this for 180 years – so they’re truly experts. What shines through here more than anything else is a huge level of passion from staff.

4. Brahmins’ Coffee Bar

This iconic coffee bar opened in the 1960s. Now, the long line outside on a regular basis more than 50 years later pretty much tells you everything you need to know. Stripped back and basic, it’s all about coffee, chutney and a few baked goods.

Hopefully Brahmins’ never changes and lives on for another 50 years.

5. Matteo Coffea

Matteo has two locations in the city and is massively popular with their loyal customers. They do a large selection of drinks, including special coffees of the day that have to be tried to be believed.

6. Mr Beans

You won’t walk into a more lushly-designed coffee shop as long as you live – swear. With four locations around India, Mr Beans is building something truly special.

A coffee here feels more like a special experience that should be savoured. A delight.

7. Marzipan Cafe and Bakery

While you might come for the amazing cakes and treats, the delicious coffee here will be what keeps you coming back on a regular basis. Big, rich and creamy lattes are the stuff of dreams.
