One of the gems in south Bangalore for their amazing South Indian food.
Especially the idly and vada which goes perfectly well with their lip smacking chutney.
I visited this iconic place post the lockdown.When I visited, they had removed all the seating. You can place your order on the counter outside and eat it outside the outlet or takeaway. They served in disposable wooden plates.
This is a place which sticks to what it does best. There are just 4-5 items which they serve. The biggest surprise might be that there is no dosa. Anyways we ordered idli vada , kesari bhath and coffee.
Idli is one of the best I have ever had. And I am not a big idli fan also. Even the vada is really flavoursome. Both were served dipped in green chutney. This is an unparalleled combination. Kesari bhath here is a bit more sweeter, bit more colourful and having a bit more pronounced flavour of cardamon and clove. I liked it. Coffee was super as well.
Glad I finally visited here. If you haven't till now, just go for that idli. You won't be disappointed .

This joint is located at a quaint little place and the trees and Greenery surrounding it makes it a pleasant spot especially in the mornings.
But the magic of it is in its food.The menu is pretty limited but every item on it is of great quality.
I think that I had the whole menu for around 100 bucks. In that I had a plate of idli vada, Kesari bath, kara bath and filter coffee.
The idli and vada I had was pretty delicious.
The idli was soft and vada had the right crunch.The chutney that was served with it was perfect for the idli and vada.There's also a thick chutney available that's spicy you can opt for that as well.
The kara bath had a nice flavor and embedded with ghee. It was not hard like the ones which are usually found in Bangalore. There were mustard seeds , coriander leaves, curry leaves , some lentils present which added to the flavour of the dish.
The Kesari bath was the best amongst the dishes I had. It had a nice rich flavor and there was a crunch of pineapple which added a new texture to the dish. There was ample amount of ghee in the dish as well.
The filter coffee was top notch as well. It was strong and certainly packed a punch .
The owner is pretty warm and welcoming. He can converse in a variety of languages which certainly helps their customers.
There's parking space for two wheelers available. However if you're are in a car , you may need to drive a little bit and find a spot .
There's certainly hygiene standards maintained. You can easily see it.
All the employees work wearing a mask and following the covid protocols set by the authorities.
You are not a Bangalorean if you haven’t tasted Idli’s from Brahmins.
Recommendation:
-Idli
-Khara bath
-filter coffee
Hands down, they have the best South Indian filter coffee. 🙌☕️
Famous place, and the food / service is always excellent. May seem pricey in comparison to others, but is good VFM considering quality and cleanliness etc.
But like all other South-Indian places today, they have substituted coconut in the chutney with gram flour. Would have been better if they gave limited chutney with the original and healthier coconut option instead.
Staff here are just amazing. Very polite and friendly. Right from cashier to service guy.
BRAHMINS COFFEE BAR is the best place to have idli , coffee and south indian breakfast snacks in the whole of Bangalore!!
I'm lucky enough to have my Nani's place just besides this ; I've been growing having at this wonderful place every summer!!
Serving for 60+ years , Brahmins taste , service and the feel hasn't changed yet .
Our grand parents ,then our parents and now us ;
Serving for almost 3 generations , Brahmins can be easily termed as the best place to have south indian breakfast in Bangalore!!

• Smile because it's hot •
I guess the only place I know, which has minimum items on its menu but gathers an eager crowd and praises like none other. Being a lazy bum, I would happily wake up at 5am and ride down 16kms to just eat that piping hot idli vada and chutney.
The feeling when you finally walk to the standing table, with that plate holding the gorgeously soft Idli and that perfectly brown Vada; both submerged in that perfect blend of liquidy Chutney. Ahh! I have come here almost 100+ times but always make the mistake of putting a steaming hot bite of all of these into my mouth and gasping for air!
Always- How can you resist that temptations.
If that last paragraph made you drool a bit, it's time you visit this place. 😌
And it's making COVID experience easier too as they are opeeeeeeeeen early in the morning for takeouts
Wohoooo! Grab that mask and a cloth cover with the empty boxes waiting to be filled up with those beautiful creations 🤩. Enjoy!

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.

Food is simple. And simplicity is the beauty here. Idli is melt in the mouth kind of an experience. Wada is also nice and homely. Tea was ok and i felt its priced slightly more than other stores. Overall, its definitely a decent eatery.
"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."
Just 4 items and Super Quick service.. this is the trademark for darshinis to follow.. Delicious idli, crunchy vada, Tasty khara bath and kesari bath.. not to forget the watery chatni to make it delectable.. enough to fill you with satisfaction..
Impressed at Brahmins coffee bar ☺
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.
I've sipped a bit of old Bangalore charm and it tastes just as I imagined - warm and comforting. Do not miss this if you're in Blr. Absolute must have.
Don't come in expecting 5 star butlers or crazy ambiance. This place is all about simple setting and well preserved heritage recipes.
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
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.

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.
An institution in itself. Only 4 items on the menu apart from tea and coffee.
Vadas were surly out of the world, idli was good and the chutney had very balanced taste.
Quick service, clean and well served.
