Brahmin’s Coffee Bar At Basuvangudi

Brahmin's, with no seating, always has customers standing, even spilling onto the pavement. Famous for its coffee since the 1960s, the family later perfected their signature coconut chutney. The menu has stayed the same for over four decades. Despite the quick service and somewhat brisk staff, don't miss trying their idli and vada when you visit.

Filter Coffee At HRBR Layout, Kalyan Nagar

The name of this establishment is a clear indicator of its speciality. Renowned for its expertly crafted tumbler of filter coffee, this restaurant has built a reputation around this signature beverage. However, it's not just the coffee that entices regulars; the eatery also offers a range of healthy coffee options, such as the ‘Karupatti Coffee.’ Beyond beverages, the restaurant's appeal extends to its Chennai-style dosas, with the murunga elai (drumstick leaves) variant being a particularly popular choice among patrons.
