This has got to be my most favourite place in Pune. From the kind of atmosphere present there to the collection of books and the friendliness of all the staff, everything's on point for someone who wants some peace, good food, music, and comfort. 10/10 everyone must visit at least once.
Miss this place terribly!! A place which glues you every time you think about an escape from the hustle life... go with your friends or go alone ... you will always feel home here.. Books and tea to your tastes with a amazing background of melody and positive aura... Great place and people!!!
Pangdandi Is One Of My Favourite Cafes In Pune ❤️ One Can Easily Find a cosy place , sip a cup of hot chocolate and read a book.
The list doesn't ends here.
It has amazing workshops and board games which one could sit around with their friends and play.
The menu is homely and economical.
Places like This should be more.
This place would never fail to make you smile.
There needs to be more places like Pagdandi, in Pune and all over the country. This concept is real and needs to be recognised and frequented and promoted. A small shop with a book library, comfort seating arrangement with tables and chairs and also floor seating.
The small menu makes it easier to choose and the food is also comfort food. Chai, coffee, sandwiches, maggi (if my memory serves me right) and the works.
Read a book, finish your novel, finish writing your novel, chit chat and catch up with an old friend. This place has everything for every need. And what makes it possible is the cosyness, comfort and the vibe of this place.
A must visit for everyone who is in Pune.
The place is good to go just to read , have some tea and relax... they got a huge collection of books to choose from but if you are interested in materials in hindi or marathi you can be disappointed as they have few books for them.
The ginger tea is too good along with the snacks. Must visit place if you are a reader
If you're looking for a calm, peaceful and cozy place, this is the one for you. Being a tea lover I have been exploring places and to be honest I'd love to visit this place again Probably one of the few places I really liked when it comes to tea. Staff, ambience, the light music, everything is so good about this place. You'll get a number of books to read from. You'll get good service from the staff too.
It's a small cozy place with books that'll make you nostalgic. I stayed for a while, enough to finish an edition of Hardy Boys while having a sandwich and coffee. Food is okayish but the feel makes up for it.
It is a cozy place. Best for a coffee and book lover. You can sip the amazing coffee and read a book here. The sandwiches are also good. The espresso they serve is also great.
Cozy, sophisticated ambience and a place where you can get lost in all on your own with a good selection of reads and an amazing menu.
Loved how rich and aromatic the hot chocolate was. It was dark and my favourite beverage.
The brownie was nice too, served with ice cream.
Loved how refreshing the adrak chai was. Perfect for a rainy evening.
Book lovers, chai lovers or people who want a nice, calm, laid back experience, should try this out.
Cozy interior 💕
Nice place to spend quality time.
You can read books, work on a laptop.
Also, you can simply chat with friends.
They have nice food!❤️
A cafe needs expansion.
This is the only book cafe I found near PCMC area. It has a homely atmosphere and the staff is really polite.
I tried a few coolers they serve- kairi Panha and khus. They have it in soda as well. They are going sustainable by using steel straws for the drinks they serve.
The sitting arrangement has variation- bharatiya baithak and the regular table chair arrangement. Also there is a small outdoor sitting provided.
There are events happening all the time which makes you want to keep coming again for more.
Been here multiple times for Chai with my bestie. It's our go to place in Baner. Their Masala chai is amazing. They serve chai in red mud kullhad & with parle G. Just takes me to the memory lane when I was a kid.
They have really good collection of books. This place is usually jam packed. Need to wait to get tables in evening.
It has tables outside & indoor sitting is Indian. Carpets on floor. People are always there working on laptops or studying in indoor area.
Small and cozy place with good book collection & Eco friendly stationary for sale.
It's not a fancy cafe. It's a small little place for book lovers & conversations.

Quaint Bookcafe Retreat in Baner!
I discovered this charming bookcafe in Baner last month, and it's a delightful spot on the ground floor offering both a cozy cafe and a dedicated bookstore. Perfect for reading, working, or catching up with friends, the venue includes an outdoor seating area, although the WiFi is charged separately. Airtel and Jio users will appreciate the good mobile range.
Efficiently managed with friendly service, I tried the tea and bun maska combo, which, with two bun servings, proved a bit much for a solo visit.
The provision of extension cords for laptops and mobiles is thoughtful, attracting regulars who often work from this peaceful and quiet place. However, the chairs might not be ideal for extended periods of work.
The common Buidling washroom, though kept locked, is decently maintained. For avid readers, the frequent opening and closing of doors, along with the doorbell, might slightly disrupt concentration. Despite this, the overall ambiance and offerings make it a cute and cozy retreat for book lovers in the Baner area.
A cute little book Cafe where you can work from as it has a tranquil atmosfeer with multiple charging points; Limited seating options though; The food is good with the Veg Cheese Sandwich and Cold coffee being the best of the lot.
This was a really cute and cozy little place that had a really superb collection of books, good ambience with soulful and calm music. Food was also superb, I had a Vietnamese Cold coffee which was delicious and a veggie sandwich which was really good. Overall, a perfect place to read, eat and chillout!!!! They also have their own bookstore besides the cafe which also had amazing collection, even better than crossword !!
The Pagdandi Bookstore cafe offers a delightful fusion of literary Haven and aromatic coffee retreat. Nestled in cozy corners, shelves adorned with diverse genres beckon readers to explore. The ambiance is a perfect blend of serene and vibrant, encouraging patrons to lose themselves in both books and the rich brews & snacks . The staff's passion for their expertise in crafting coffee delights create an inviting atmosphere. Whether you seek solace with a novel or engage in lively discussions, this charming spot provides a haven for book enthusiasts and coffee aficionados alike.A visit to this book cafe store transcends the ordinary, inviting you to savor the magic of literature while indulging in the comforting embrace of a well-brewed escape.!!!!MUST VISIT!!!!
I have frequently visited this cafe since 2015. There is something special about the vibe of this place. It instantly uplifts your spirit.
The food, hospitality, sitting arrangement and the music, everything is top notch.
You can come here to socialize or just enjoy a cup of masala tea while reading a book or sometimes only to find inspiration and get things done.
A highly recommended place.
Its such a soulful cozy place to be. Especially because its set in a very peaceful area and provides just the tight amount of silence and talks to do the reading or have silent conversations about it along with providing some really good food and drinks on the side. 👏
I loved this place. People who want peacefull time with books and beverage , It's your kind of place .
I have spend 3hr in this cafe, and was totally enjoying the time .
Really nice calm and friendly Environment of this cafe ... outdoor as well as indoor seating. But prefer to seat inside.
You can bring your stuff to read or work or u can get any kind of books in here .
talking about food, I loved the taste and quantity.
Must try Ginger Tea , iced americano(Cold black coffee) & Sandwiches.
Staff is also Very friendly.
I will surely spend my half a Sunday here .
Overall ratings :
Ambience :4/5
Food :4/5
Service :3.5/5
A cozy place that serves amazing coffee! This place has a lot of books to choose from.
You can buy books or even choose to read one over there too.
The place has a small limited menu but everything that's served is superb. You can go and have a good 'me time'.
The only issue here is the very limited seating. Other than that a perfect place for coffee, good books and great time.

A truly great coffee place has to feel special. A place to recharge with a good book and a steaming drink or to chat up a friend over that perfect pastry you’re definitely going to stop eating after one more bite. The best spots have a bit of magic to them. Choosing your perfect spot takes time and patience, but once you’ve found it, you’re set for life. Pagdandi is one of my beloved coffee haunts where you can grab a cup of coffee or a foamy masterpiece of latte art and unwind.
A yellow shutter on the slopes of rolling hills of Baner belongs to a 'cupboard under the stairs' bookstore cafe – Pagdandi! What strikes you first as soon as you enter is the very welcoming sunshine yellow door with a signboard that is made of recycled plywood! Not to forget, the eclectic lights made at the doorway that screams cool in an underlying manner. The lazy Indian sit-outs, the bamboo ceiling and bookshelves, cane chairs, guitar, quirky accessories, and the wide array of the re-circulated old books that smell close to heaven for any bookish geek!
Serving up the classic Americano, Espresso, Latte, Cappuccino, Irish Coffee to the signature Cold Coffee Frappe, Pagdandi has a lot of coffee options for coffee lovers to choose from. Not just that, for vegans, the option of soy milk is also available.
Pagdandi is one of the best book cafes in Pune city. It is a must visit place for any who love book, like to attend reading and book launches and for authors to write and promote their books. The best part about Pagdandi is their team and their dedication to promote the reading culture. There is also a cafe which serve light snacks and hot and cold beverages to keep up your reading and shopping. Do visit. Highly highly recommended.
