Brahmins' Coffee Bar

This is a popular Idly joint known for soft Idlis which melt in your mouth. The taste of Idly and Vada is heavenly with lots of chutney. Note that there is no sambar served here.

The bad part is that the Idly and vada sizes have become small from the time I am eating at this joint in 1998.

The service is not extraordinary with typical biased mindset to serve known people first out of order, and also with little smile on the face😊

Melting in the mouth steaming hot idli and the bestest chutney I've had so far.. Must try when in Bangalore! Super quick service.

Very good and authentic Idly with tasty Vada, Chutney... Only few item's served along with Kesri bath, Kharabath and the must coffee!!!

Always the best place for soul satisfying food. Idli bade, Khaira bath and filter kapi!!

Best iconic Bengaluru restaurant. Try to visit early in the morning or when they open, post that it will be heavily crowded. There menu is limited to few items and all are must try.

1. Idli
2. Vada
3. Kesari bath
4. Khara bath

One of the older restaurants in south Bangalore. This is the original Brahmin’s coffee Bar. Subsequently many places with same name have started in Bangalore though they are not related. Unlike most other places this restaurant has its own timing - 7am to 12 noon and 3pm to 7pm. They are closed on Sundays, which is unusual for restaurants as it’s probably the day with most footfall. But that’s Brahmin’s Coffee Bar for you! The menu is simple with just 4 items apart from Coffee/tea. The food tastes great. There is no seating and it is only self service. It gets pretty crowded especially on weekends.

Both idli and vade are very tasty, but there is no place to sit, you have to stand and eat.
1 idli costs ₹20 and 1 Vada costs ₹32

One of the oldest hotels or restaurants in namma Bengaluru. This is the original Brahmins cafe ☕, they have very limited food options, however it’s the best items to savour. They have the best coffee ☕ in the city. Definitely I would recommend this place for everyone. 👌🏼😍

Undoubtedly the best place for South Indian food. Medu vada is the best I have ever had. Service is quite fast. But you can expect a queue. Place is clean, well organised. Idly just melts in mouth, filter coffee is quite good as well.

Melt in mouth idli, cripsy vade. Yummy Kharabath and Kesaribath. Filter coffee is a must try.

This is the original and only Brahmins Coffee Bar. My first visit to this place was awesome. They had only 5 to 6 items in their menu but the taste of dishes was superb. Vada was very crispy and kharabath was too good. Filter coffee was the best. This place is crowded. Parking is not available so make sure you park your vehicles in nearby streets. Very clean and hygienic. You must visit this place and try all the dishes.

Excellent place. Still has the crarm of old Bangalore. Must try are the idly Vada and sweet Pongal.

One of the best Breakfast points in Bangalore. Idli just melts in the mouth, crispy Vada with chutney is best. Kaseri bhat was okish. Don't forget to order filter coffee

Idly is a melt in the mouth! Serves authentic filter coffee.
No seating and No parking available.

Being one of the oldest cafes/eateries, the place lives up to reputation. Fluffy Idly, crispy vada and chutney. It's a must try. Coffee was also strong. Although, the place has no seating available, you can stand outside and tables are available to keep your food and eat. Would definitely recommend visiting there.

"Brahmin's Coffee Bar in Bangalore is a charming breakfast spot that stands out for its simplicity and delicious offerings. Their menu may be limited to just four breakfast items, but each one is a masterpiece. The idlis, vadas, khara bath, and kesari bath are prepared with such precision and flavor that they're nothing short of amazing. This place captures the essence of traditional South Indian breakfast.

What makes Brahmin's Coffee Bar truly special is its timeless ambiance. It's a humble, unpretentious eatery where you can savor your breakfast at a leisurely pace while enjoying the aromatic filter coffee. In a world filled with choices, this simplicity is a breath of fresh air.

If you're in Bangalore, don't miss the opportunity to experience the sheer delight of their breakfast offerings. Brahmin's Coffee Bar offers a culinary journey that's unforgettable."

Nestled in the heart of Basavanagudi, Brahmin's Coffee Bar is a breakfast haven that transcends the ordinary. The culinary star of this establishment is undoubtedly the vada – a golden orb of perfection that promises a symphony of flavors and textures. From the first crunch that yields to a soft, airy interior, each bite is a testament to the mastery of South Indian culinary artistry.

The aroma that envelops Brahmin's is nothing short of a siren's call for food enthusiasts. The enticing scent of freshly fried vadas and the aromatic wafts of brewing coffee create an olfactory symphony that draws you in even before you've crossed the threshold. The fragrance of coffee in the air is not just an accompaniment; it's a prelude to the culinary delights awaiting inside.

As you savor the vada dipped in the coconut chutney, the crispy morning air under the sheltering branches of a big tree enhances the overall experience. The ambiance is serene, a perfect setting for a leisurely breakfast that transcends mere sustenance.

Let's not forget the delightful idlis – pillowy-soft steamed dumplings that rival the vada in their culinary prowess. Light, fluffy, and paired with the same delectable coconut chutney, they provide a different yet equally delightful breakfast experience.

In conclusion, Brahmin's Coffee Bar is not just a place to eat; it's an immersive journey into the heart of South Indian culinary excellence. The vada, idlis, the aromatic coffee, and the charming ambiance collectively create an experience that lingers in the memory, making it a culinary pilgrimage for breakfast enthusiasts.

One of the legendary eateries in bangalore. The soft idlys and crispy vada with chutney are mouthwatering. Have some khara and kesari bath to top it off, both being delicious too and end it all with an excellently prepared filter coffee. An authentic South Indian experience. Stand an eat. All this food for 150/- only. An Absolute must try!

One of the legendary eateries of Bengaluru.. Visited on a weekday, a bit late for breakfast @10.30am. So the crowd was a bit less. Tried all items in their menu, which is limited. Idly and chutney was amazing. Soft idly, spicy and tasty chutney. Vade was crispy. Kharabhath was spicy and kesaribhath was yummy. Finished with a hot,strong coffee.
The cashier is damn fast. Even before I paid the bill, he looked at the denomination of the money I held and gave change before receiving the money!!

Chutney can be topped up at the small counter in the corner. It's not a welcoming reserve! He serves with a grumpy face.. but who cares..

Recommended dish - Idly,vade,Kesari bhath.
Don't forget to get some extra butter

Note - Parking spots could be tough to find on weekends

A warm and welcoming place set up in 1965 still runs strong; it has only 5 dishes on their menu yet has unbelievable footfall during their peak hours.
I've tried everything and loved all of them; not just the locals, but people from all around seem to travel and visit this spot to try out their limited menu.

Idli - Soft, fluffy rava idli, which was served with a load of their coconut mint chutney; healthy and content with the taste 😚
Vada - Contemporary hole-vada with crunchy texture on the outside and soft minced lentil batter on the inside, Yummy!! 👍
Kharabath - Mild spiced (similar to upma) rava upma with loads of ghee, chili, and curry leaves; this stands out from all the others owing to their authentic flavors, MUST TRY!! 😍
Kesari bath - Super amazing rava Kesari with raisins, pineapple, and nuts, wicked smooth and so aromatic!! 🤩
Tea/coffee - That peace as we get once we sum up our meal with a hot cup of tea or coffee, BLISS!! Super strong, frothy, and kicky!! ♥♥

It is one of the most economical places for brekkie in Bangalore!! How they could sell such tasty breakfast at low cost is beyond my understanding!! Parking could be a problem with not much space in their narrow streets.
Standing tables and self-service, so not a concern for people who are keen only on food and not the miscellaneous stuff. They clean all the tables in an instant!!
There's also not much on the ambiance part since we pay for the food on the left, grab our plates straight, collect our condiments on the right, and exit straight away to our tables!!!
