The Best Hipster Cafes In Bandra Mumbai

Bandra is full of charming surprises. Known as the ‘Queen Of The Suburbs’ with its culturally vibrant atmosphere, cafes in every corner, its thriving art scene and last but not least, the picturesque Carter Road promenade. You may be overwhelmed at the amount of choice the area offers in terms of cafes, so here’s a round-up of the best places in town.

1. BAD Cafe

Cafe, Spanish, European

Even though it’s a relatively new haunt, BAD Cafe is already making waves within the Bandra dining scene with its unique European and Spanish menu and everything for the ‘Mind, Body and Soul,’ which includes a yoga center and some of the best coffee in the area. This three-story cafe is divided into three parts; the body (kitchen), the mind (yoga studio) and the soul (main seating area). The coffee is usually made by the owner himself, adding to the authentic vibe.

2. Desi Deli

Cafe, Deli, American, Fast Food

A small place with a big heart, Desi Deli is situated opposite Salt Water Cafe in Bandra Reclamation and serves some of the best coffee in town, alongside some European breakfast items with a Desi twist. What Desi Deli lacks in size, it makes up for in the decor. Pink and green tables, ample natural light, and extremely efficient service is what attracts customers to visit Desi Deli again and again.

3. Suzette

Cafe, Creperie, Indian

Suzette Creperie was opened up by three French expats and has three branches in Mumbai. It serves some of the best crepes you can get in the city, complete with an ambiance that makes you feel like you’re in a Parisian creperie. Indeed, your visit to Suzette will feel like a trip to Paris, just a lot cheaper. Also, don’t forget to sample their heavenly hot chocolate.

4. La Folie Lab

Cafe, Patisserie, Indian

From the house of La Folie Patisserie, this cafe brings you various innovative desserts and introduces different brewing methods like the ‘Siphon Coffee’ to Mumbai’s coffee culture. The highlight of visiting La Folie Lab is that you get to witness your food being made in the open kitchen. The cafe mocha here isn’t just a visual delight but also a culinary one.

5. Di Bella

Known for its legendary waffles, such as the ‘Chocolate Explosion’ or ‘Nutella Waffles,’ Di Bella never fails to impress.
