I'm not much of a out going guy nor a eat out person. But I've been here twice in 3 weeks now. I love the ambience. I love the egg chilly here & french fries here. The service is a bit slow but definitely it is worth the wait. The place is kept very clean & the people who run it are friendly. Good place to hangout with close friends or alone. Just a constructive criticism : Please don't play the same songs on repeat or just romantic songs. Maybe some ambient music will be good. P. S. Parking is not a issue for 2 wheelers. But I guess the tar quality ain't good. I saw my bike stand had made a hole & went inside. Luckily I noticed before it fell. This happened on 23-03-2019. The tar looks new so in couple of months it might become better but just a heads up.

Hah.. Two Cups & A Story! So many memories in such small period, similarly we expect with small cafe where you stop by any time if you are having good day, bad day, peaceful day, loud day, bla bla bla and slowly slowly build a relation with testiest dishes, and that cool girl with cute smile running the cafe, everything feels like Just Right for lunch time, Just Right for evening snacks, Just Right for light dinner. Small but spacious, Lit and musical, cosy and bright, and lovely people managing the cafe with lively energy. Use to come here almost everyday, eating, spending time, working on my projects in corner and eating more and meeting new people, singing sometime, sketching and having fun with friends on table games, and eating more. Everything is Just Right. :)

Visited this place a few weeks ago. Tucked inside a lane near NIFT Bangalore in HSR layout, it is a small and yet beautiful place to have a relaxing time with food and friends. The ambiance is really nice and soothing, the attention to detail by the owner is quite visible.. The menu is quite wholesome and one can spend an entire day here reading, chatting or just eating and relaxing.. they also have their own small collection of books if you are waiting or just want to read till the time your food is being prepared. We had ordered chicken pasta, a jaljira, crispy potato fries, chicken fried rice etc.. All of them were really simply delicious. As there were a lot of customers at that time, it took a little while for the food to be served, but the hostess took good care of us during that time... Will I go there again.. ? Of course.. !!

Great ambience, with good music playing in the background. It's really rare to find cafes with warm ambience in Bangalore. I wouldn't mind sitting here for a couple of hours alone and work/read, while ordering tea and fries. Good place for groups of 3-4. Only downside was price to quantity ratio for some items like onion pakoda which felt slightly unreasonable. Overall 5/5.

I was roaming in HSR, when I came across this simple yet elegant Cafe. I particularly don't like loud music and overcrowded places. For me, ambience is the most important thing and I've never come across a place with such good vibes. The ambience, lightning, soft music is a treat to experience. Luckily, I went there on opening day. The owner, Abha, was very courteous. When I went to the place again on weekend, it was the same feeling. The food was great. Whatever feedback I had provided on the opening day was taken into account and during my next visit this place was even better. Coming to food, it was delicious and just perfect. The taste greatly improved the second time, I went there.. I suggest everyone to visit this Cafe atleast once. Also, they have a books section; you can read while your food is being prepared. Food :9/10 Price: 9/10 Service:10/10 Ambience:11/10

If you're looking for some lip-smacking munchies in a quiet yet beautifully done place, this is the place to be. Also, the owner is super nice and friendly. While you're here, you can play board games, read books (they have an amazing collection), or play the guitar. Overall, it's a quaint, little cafe, tucked away in HSR layout. Highly recommend this place :)
