if u want positive happy vibes with smiling faces this place should be on top of ur list , the staff will treat u like family food no doubt excellent its like a mini getaway from all ur everyday tiring routines
World needs humanity and this place and his crew are full of it. Charming, inspiring, magical place to drink a coffee, tea, eat Indian or Spanish food and fill your heart with the humanity the world give to us. A 'must go' to every single person who visits or live in Mumbai.
Crepe is highly recommended. Pasta was fine but the vegetables in pasta weren't cooked completely. Service is really fast. Tables are available on sharing incase it is crowded. The servers will tell you the history of the place and recommend dishes to have.
Love this cafe !
The food and service here is amazing and truly unique.
Everything here is welcoming and warm
On my recent visit though I was asked to shut down my laptop once we finished having the sandwich and coffee we had ordered and were pointed to the below notice.
I understand business point of view but this place always felt not aimed at revenue but rather giving people a good experience
We did leave on a positive note but definitely have to rule this out as an option when looking at a cafe to work from.
Nice cafe, good ambience friendly staff. One should visit this cafe for their delicious food. 😋 If you were in spain this cafe would be nostalgic for you as many menu items specially Tapas will take you back to spain. The food is good and ambience is nice. Little expensive but ok to visit sometimes 😀

Bombay To Barcelona Library Café, located in Marol, Andheri, Mumbai, is a hidden gem that offers a unique fusion of Indian and Spanish flavors in a cozy European-style setting. What sets this restaurant apart is not just its delectable dishes but also its heartwarming mission.
The moment I stepped into the cafe, I was greeted with the warm aroma of spices and the inviting ambiance of a European-style library. The place is not just a dining spot; it's an experience. The cafe is staffed by street boys and girls who have been given an opportunity to turn their lives around, making it a remarkable social initiative. This gives a sense of purpose to the dining experience.
I started my meal with the cheese garlic bread toast, which was a delightful blend of cheesy goodness and aromatic garlic. The spinach corn toast sandwich was a perfect marriage of flavors, combining the essence of India and Spain. To accompany my meal, I enjoyed a refreshing cold coffee.
What truly impressed me was the in-house clothing store, which adds a unique touch to the cafe. It's heartening to know that the proceeds from both the food bills and the store go towards the education and housing of the cafe's dedicated staff. This makes dining at Bombay To Barcelona Library Café more than just a culinary experience; it's a way to support a worthy cause.
In conclusion, this charming cafe offers not only a delectable blend of Indian and Spanish cuisine but also a heartwarming social cause. The food, atmosphere, and mission of Bombay To Barcelona Library Café come together to create a truly memorable dining experience. I left with a full stomach, a warm heart, and a desire to return soon.

The tagging on Google maps is slightly out of place. The actual restaurant is located about 25 metres from where Google shows it. No valet parking. Thus one has to park on the road where No parking board is visible. Thus if you are visiting during daytime better use a public transport.
They do not accept reservations and thus if you book through any app it won’t help. The restaurant explained they have tried to discontinue reservation from the app but they have been unsuccessful so far
There is an indoor as well as outdoor seating. On entering the kitchen catches the attention but for some reason it looked very gloomy to me. However the other part of the restaurant is well done albeit a bit too much cluttered I have to say. The entire wall is covered up with portraits and posters of different kind
The best part is the wall that has stacks of book and large posters on top and it is the most photogenic place I could observed. They also have a boutique that’s tied up with a NGO and I ended up buying a colourful shirt
The menu was plain and simple and budgeted too. We ordered 2 Americano and a cheese garlic toast. The quantity was fulfilling and the price nominal.
The staff was really good, warm and communicated clearly. Was impressed by their professionalism. Overall a good place to hangout or to catch up on some work in leisure as the tables are ideal for working. Do visit if you are around Marol

Lovely little cafe-type place to sit with friends, dates, or for working. B2BLC is run by the homeless, and is beautifully well kept. Part of the profit goes into the training, well being, housing & education of the staff.
We went here for a Sunday breakfast, and were helped with the wait staff throughout. Had a great chat with the founder Amin.
Service:
Gopala, who has been here for a while, explained to us how they function with impeccable speaking skills! They helped us with an umbrella right outside - you know they're paying attention to their customers. Food was served quite quickly.
Ambience:
It has a subdued, quaint vibe to it. They've plants all over & are kept very clean overall. The library bit is great. Outdoor seating is comfortable too, with a lot of fans.
Food:
Great quality, simple food. The menu is quite extensive & has a lot of nice options. The mushroom omelette, chicken special sandwich, kokam cooler, and muffins were all good. A little on the salty side though. Taste could improve a bit but nothing to complain here.
The place is not very expensive, especially if you consider the quality of service & the fact that they help their staff on a base level.
Small place with good food and lots of books to read. Sharing is caring - is their moto. Do learn the story behind the cafe.
It is a cozy place with a small library to chill with friends. The food is amazing. I loved the Pesto pasta, Alfredo pasta and Dates milkshake. Must visit once.
As always have a great experience here. It's good if you want a place to talk or work as there's usually no music. While they don't officially state it in the menu, they did make my favourite crepe gluten free when requested. Only issue is it is difficult to get parking outside but the concept and place remain commendable.
It is a wonderful cafe I found in Mumbai. The theme of the cafe is very good.we can shop and read books in the cafe. The story behind this cafe is heart touching. Must visit places. But it's a Little bit expensive. You can enjoy breakfast and dessert. I tried cheese garlic bread which was awesome I have never eaten this kind of garlic bread before. Kindly avoid Monday.
