best brunch spots in bangalore (2026)

tldr: out of 18 brunch spots, my top 3 are toast & tonic (best overall brunch, ub city), hole in the wall (best classic brunch, indiranagar), and eggs & more (best budget brunch, koramangala). full reviews with prices, what to order, and honest opinions below.

---

i haven’t visited bangalore specifically for a brunch crawl yet. this guide is based on extensive research - local food blogs, google reviews, instagram accounts of bangalore foodies, and recommendations from people who brunch in this city every weekend.

bangalore has the best brunch scene of any indian city. this isn’t even debatable. the combination of startup money, weekend culture, pleasant weather, and a population that genuinely cares about food means the brunch options here are genuinely world-class. from south indian filter coffee breakfasts to bottomless mimosa buffets, the spectrum is wider than any other city i’ve researched.

what makes bangalore brunch different from, say, mumbai or delhi brunch is the lack of pretension. even the fancy places feel relaxed. nobody’s dressing up for brunch here - it’s shorts, flip-flops, and a hangover from last night’s brewery crawl. the vibe is “we’re here for good food and strong coffee, everything else is optional.”

let’s get into it.

classic brunch

these are the places that do traditional brunch right. eggs, pancakes, coffee, maybe a cocktail. the kind of brunch where you sit for two hours and nobody rushes you.

1. toast & tonic

ub city mall, vittal mallya road / upscale casual / rs 2000-2500 for two / 9/10

toast & tonic is bangalore’s brunch benchmark. it’s inside ub city mall, which sounds corporate, but the restaurant itself has a greenhouse-meets-industrial vibe that’s genuinely beautiful. natural light flooding in through glass walls, exposed brick, hanging plants, and a bar that stretches the length of the room.

the brunch menu is extensive without being overwhelming. eggs benedict (rs 450-500), shakshuka (rs 400), avocado toast (rs 350), french toast with berry compote (rs 400), and a burger that’s better than most dedicated burger joints. the portions are generous. the plating is instagram-worthy without being annoying about it.

but the real star is the cocktail menu. their espresso martini is one of the best in bangalore. the bloody mary is customizable. and their brunch-specific cocktails change seasonally. bottomless brunch packages occasionally appear on weekends, usually around rs 2000-2500 per person including drinks.

the service is sharp without being hovering. the crowd is a mix of startup founders, expats, and the ub city shopping crowd. weekends require a reservation, especially for groups larger than 4.

what to order: eggs benedict, a side of truffle fries, and an espresso martini. that’s the toast & tonic starter pack.

verdict: best overall brunch in bangalore. expensive, yes. but the combination of food quality, cocktails, ambiance, and service is unmatched.

2. hole in the wall

indiranagar, 12th main / classic brunch / rs 800-1200 for two / 9/10

hole in the wall is the brunch place that bangalore locals actually go to every weekend. not for instagram, not for special occasions, just because the food is consistently great and the vibe is comfortable.

the name is accurate - the entrance is easy to miss. but inside, it opens up into a warm, well-lit cafe with wooden tables, a chalkboard menu, and the smell of fresh baked goods. the shakshuka is the most ordered brunch item and it’s earned that status. perfectly baked eggs in a spiced tomato sauce, served with crusty bread for dunking.

the french toast with caramelized bananas (rs 300-350) is indulgent. the cold brew (rs 180-200) is strong and smooth. the breakfast burrito (rs 350-400) is properly loaded. everything on the brunch menu is good, which is rare - most places have 2-3 stars and the rest is filler.

the pricing is the real winner. two people can have a full brunch with coffee for rs 800-1200. that’s roughly half of what toast & tonic costs, and the food quality isn’t that far off.

what to order: shakshuka with extra bread, cold brew, and split a french toast for dessert.

verdict: best value brunch in bangalore. if you can only go to one brunch place, and you don’t need fancy cocktails or ub city ambiance, this is it.

3. eggs & more

koramangala 5th block (also hsr layout) / egg-focused brunch / rs 500-700 for two / 8.5/10

eggs & more does exactly what the name says, and does it well. the entire menu revolves around eggs - omelettes, scrambles, eggs benedict, shakshuka, egg fried rice, egg bhurji, and about 20 other variations.

the classic omelette (rs 180-220) comes with a choice of fillings and is consistently fluffy. the eggs benedict (rs 350-400) is surprisingly good for the price point. the egg biryani (rs 250-300) is an unusual but satisfying fusion that works. the portions are generous and the pricing is honest.

the restaurant is bright, casual, and small. maybe 25-30 seats. the koramangala outlet is the original and tends to be more consistent. the hsr layout one is newer. both get crowded on weekend mornings between 10am-12pm.

this is the brunch spot for people who think brunch is overpriced and overhyped. no cocktails, no fancy plating, no rs 500 avocado toast. just good eggs, good coffee, and an honest bill.

what to order: classic three-egg omelette with mushroom and cheese, a side of hash browns, and their filter coffee. total for one: rs 300-350.

verdict: best budget brunch in bangalore. proves that great brunch doesn’t need to cost rs 2000.

4. glen’s bakehouse

indiranagar, 100 feet road (also koramangala) / bakery-brunch / rs 800-1000 for two / 8.5/10

glen’s is a bakery first and a brunch spot second, and that’s exactly why the brunch is so good. everything baked in-house - the croissants, the bread for sandwiches, the pastries, the cakes. the quality of the baked goods elevates every brunch item.

the croque monsieur (rs 350-400) is made with their own sourdough bread and it’s excellent. the eggs florentine (rs 400-450) uses proper freshly baked english muffins. the cinnamon roll (rs 180-200) is the size of your fist and dripping with glaze.

the bakery display at the entrance is dangerous. you come in planning to have brunch and leave with a box of cookies, a loaf of sourdough, and two slices of cake “for later.” the coffee is solid but not exceptional - this is a bakery that happens to serve coffee, not a coffee shop.

the indiranagar outlet has more seating and a better brunch vibe. weekday mornings are calm and lovely. saturday mornings are packed by 10:30am.

what to order: croque monsieur, a cinnamon roll, and their hot chocolate if you’re not a coffee person. take a box of cookies home.

verdict: best bakery-brunch in bangalore. come for the baked goods, stay for the brunch plates.

5. cafe terra

sadashivanagar / european brunch / rs 1000-1400 for two / 8.5/10

cafe terra is hidden in sadashivanagar, which keeps it relatively crowd-free even on weekends. the vibe is european cafe - terracotta walls, natural light, a courtyard with plants, and a menu that feels like it was designed by someone who’s actually eaten in europe.

the quiche (rs 350-400) is properly made with a flaky crust. the eggs benedict (rs 450-500) comes on house-baked bread. the granola bowl (rs 300) is generous with fresh fruit and actual good granola, not the cardboard stuff. the coffee is sourced from local estates and brewed well.

what sets terra apart is the calm. while indiranagar brunch spots are buzzing with energy, terra feels like a slow european morning. it’s the brunch place for introverts, couples, and people who want to read a book between bites.

what to order: quiche of the day, a side salad, and their latte. simple, excellent.

verdict: most refined brunch experience in bangalore. come here when you want peace, good food, and zero crowds.

---

new-age brunch

these places are doing something different with the brunch format. fusion menus, pan-asian spreads, indian-inspired cocktails, and formats that wouldn’t have existed five years ago.

6. fatty bao

indiranagar, 12th main / pan-asian brunch / rs 1500-2000 for two / 8.5/10

fatty bao is a pan-asian restaurant that has become one of bangalore’s most popular brunch destinations, especially on sundays. the concept: asian comfort food with brunch energy. dim sum, bao buns, ramen, and rice bowls alongside mimosas and bloody marys.

the truffle edamame (rs 350) is the table starter everyone orders. the pork belly bao (rs 400-450) is fatty, sweet, and absurdly good. the dim sum basket (rs 500-600) is the highlight of the brunch menu - steamed and fried varieties that rival standalone chinese restaurants. the ramen is excellent but heavy for brunch unless you’re going all in.

the restaurant has a quirky, colorful interior with comic-strip art on the walls. the indiranagar outlet is the original and has the most brunch energy. they occasionally do sunday brunch specials with unlimited food and drinks for rs 1500-2000, which is excellent value for the quality.

what to order: dim sum basket, one pork belly bao, truffle edamame, and their yuzu cocktail.

verdict: most fun brunch in bangalore. this is where you go when you’re tired of eggs benedict and want something completely different.

7. the permit room

koramangala / indian-fusion brunch / rs 1200-1600 for two / 8/10

the permit room takes indian comfort food and gives it a brunch twist. think appam with stew, but elevated. masala scrambled eggs with parotta instead of toast. filter coffee cocktails. malabar prawn curry served alongside a mimosa.

the interior is beautiful - colonial south indian design with tiled floors, wooden furniture, and vintage posters. the cocktail menu is the standout. their filter coffee martini is legendary. the neer dosa with chicken curry (rs 400-450) is comfort food that happens to be brunch. the appam station (rs 350-400) lets you pick your curry pairing.

this is brunch for people who think brunch is too western. everything here has an indian identity, but served with brunch sensibility - relaxed pace, good drinks, late morning vibes.

what to order: appam with stew, masala scrambled eggs, and a filter coffee martini. that’s the full permit room experience.

verdict: most uniquely indian brunch in bangalore. proof that brunch doesn’t need to be eggs benedict and avocado toast.

8. sanchez

indiranagar / mexican brunch / rs 1200-1600 for two / 8/10

sanchez brings mexican brunch to bangalore and it works surprisingly well. huevos rancheros (rs 400-450), breakfast burritos (rs 350-400), chilaquiles (rs 350), and churros with chocolate sauce (rs 300). the flavors are bold and the portions are unapologetically large.

the margaritas are the brunch drink here. classic, frozen, or spiced - all made with proper tequila and fresh lime. the weekend brunch crowd is young, loud, and having a great time. if you want quiet contemplation over your brunch, go to cafe terra. if you want energy and margaritas at noon, come here.

the rooftop seating is excellent during bangalore’s pleasant weather (which is most of the year). the ground floor is air-conditioned for the rare hot days.

what to order: huevos rancheros, one order of churros for the table, and a frozen margarita.

verdict: best brunch for groups who want energy, drinks, and food that isn’t pretending to be delicate.

9. smoke house deli

indiranagar (also lavelle road) / european bistro / rs 1200-1600 for two / 8/10

smoke house deli is olive bar & kitchen’s casual sister brand, and the brunch menu reflects that european bistro sensibility. open sandwiches on house-baked bread, properly made eggs benedict, mushroom on toast with truffle oil, and a charcuterie board that’s actually worth ordering.

the indiranagar outlet has a lovely garden seating area that’s perfect for brunch. the lavelle road one is more intimate. both have the same menu and consistent quality. the coffee is good, the fresh juices are excellent, and the baked goods are made fresh.

the pricing is mid-range for bangalore brunch - rs 1200-1600 for two including coffee. not cheap, but not toast & tonic expensive either.

what to order: mushroom and truffle toast, a side of their bacon, and a fresh watermelon juice.

verdict: best bistro-style brunch in bangalore. european comfort food done right.

---

budget brunch (south indian style)

bangalore’s best budget brunch isn’t eggs benedict and avocado toast. it’s masala dosa, filter coffee, and idli-vada at places that have been serving breakfast for longer than most brunch spots have existed.

10. vidyarthi bhavan

basavanagudi, gandhi bazaar / south indian / rs 150-250 for two / 9/10

vidyarthi bhavan has been making masala dosas since 1943. the dosa here is legendary - crispy, golden, loaded with a potato masala that has the perfect balance of turmeric, mustard seeds, and green chilies. served with coconut chutney and a sambar that’s been perfected over eight decades.

the masala dosa at rs 70-80 is one of the greatest breakfast items in india. that’s not hyperbole. this dosa appears in national food guides, travel shows, and the memory of every person who’s eaten it. the coffee at rs 20-25 is served in a steel tumbler with a dabarah and is exactly what filter coffee should taste like.

the catch: the queue. vidyarthi bhavan is always crowded. weekend mornings mean 30-45 minute waits. weekday mornings around 8-9am are slightly better. there’s no reservation system. you wait, you get a shared table, you eat, you leave. that’s the deal.

what to order: masala dosa and a filter coffee. total: rs 100. the best rs 100 you’ll spend on food in bangalore.

verdict: the single best breakfast/brunch item in bangalore. if you eat one dosa in this city, eat it here.

11. brahmin’s coffee bar

basavanagudi, ranga rao road / traditional south indian / rs 80-120 for two / 8.5/10

brahmin’s coffee bar is even more stripped down than vidyarthi bhavan. standing room only. no chairs. steel tumblers. a menu of 5-6 items. and a crowd of regulars who’ve been eating here before most indiranagar brunch spots were even concepts.

the idli-vada (rs 30-40) is the star. soft idlis, crispy vadas, and a sambar that people describe as “life-changing” without irony. the kesari bath (rs 25-30) is sweet, saffron-tinted semolina that’s pure comfort. the filter coffee is rs 15-20 and strong enough to wake the dead.

total cost for a full breakfast: rs 50-80 per person. that’s less than a single coffee at most brunch spots. the experience is pure old bangalore - no aesthetics, no plating, just exceptional food at impossible prices.

what to order: idli-vada-sambar, one plate kesari bath, and filter coffee. rs 60-80 total.

verdict: cheapest brunch in bangalore that’s also among the best. you’re eating history.

12. third wave coffee (brunch hours)

multiple locations / coffee + light bites / rs 500-700 for two / 7.5/10

third wave coffee has expanded their food menu significantly. the avocado toast (rs 280-300), croissant sandwiches (rs 250-300), and granola bowls (rs 250) make them a legitimate light brunch option, especially when you pair it with their excellent coffee.

this isn’t a full brunch destination. you won’t get eggs benedict or pancake stacks. but for “coffee and a bite” brunch, third wave is reliable, consistent across locations, and never requires a reservation. the indiranagar and koramangala outlets have the most seating for a leisurely brunch.

what to order: avocado toast and a cortado. light, simple, satisfying.

verdict: best “quick brunch” option in bangalore. no commitment, no reservation, consistently decent.

---

hotel and brewery brunch

these are the bigger-format brunches - buffets, brewery settings, and hotel spreads. more expensive but more variety, and usually include drinks.

13. the fat chef

koramangala / american brunch / rs 800-1000 for two / 7.5/10

the fat chef does big american-style brunch. think thick pancake stacks, loaded waffles, massive omelettes, and milkshakes that could be dessert. the portions are absurd - a single pancake order could feed two people if you’re not ravenous.

the buttermilk pancakes (rs 300-350) are fluffy and come with real maple syrup. the chicken and waffle (rs 400-450) is properly executed - crispy fried chicken on a waffle with honey butter. the milkshakes (rs 200-250) are thick, indulgent, and come in 15+ flavors.

the vibe is casual american diner. not fancy, not trying to be. the koramangala outlet gets packed on weekends, so go early (before 11am) or late (after 1pm).

what to order: buttermilk pancakes and a peanut butter milkshake. bring your appetite.

verdict: best american-style brunch in bangalore. come hungry, leave in a food coma.

14. communiti (aloft hotel)

cessna business park, outer ring road / buffet brunch / rs 1800-2500 for two / 7.5/10

communiti at aloft hotel does one of the better hotel brunch buffets in bangalore. the spread is wide - live counters for eggs, dosas, pasta, and grills. the sunday brunch includes unlimited drinks (beer, wine, cocktails) which is where the value kicks in.

the quality is a step above most hotel buffets. the live egg station makes proper omelettes and eggs to order. the dessert section is extensive. the cocktails from the unlimited drinks package are actually drinkable, not watered-down afterthoughts.

at rs 1800-2500 per person (depending on the drinks package), it’s expensive. but for a lazy sunday where you want to eat everything and drink for 3 hours, it’s competitive.

what to order: it’s a buffet, so try everything. but prioritize the live counters and the dessert section.

verdict: best hotel brunch buffet for the price. solid if you want the all-you-can-eat-and-drink experience.

15. forage

whitefield / farm-to-table / rs 1200-1600 for two / 8/10

forage is whitefield’s brunch gem. the concept is farm-to-table with locally sourced ingredients, and they actually follow through instead of just using it as a marketing line. the menu changes with seasonal availability, which keeps things fresh.

the mushroom and truffle scramble (rs 400-450) uses locally foraged mushrooms. the sourdough is baked in-house. the fresh juices are pressed to order. the overall vibe is “health-conscious but not boring” - the food tastes good despite being good for you.

whitefield is a trek from central bangalore, which keeps forage less crowded than comparable places in indiranagar. if you’re in the tech park area on a weekend, this is the brunch spot.

what to order: seasonal scramble, house sourdough with butter, and a fresh juice.

verdict: best brunch in whitefield. worth the drive if you care about ingredient quality.

16. the lantern lounge

jp nagar / casual cafe brunch / rs 600-800 for two / 7/10

the lantern lounge is jp nagar’s neighborhood brunch spot. nothing fancy - good pancakes, decent omelettes, strong coffee, and prices that won’t make you flinch. the weekend crowd is young families and college groups.

the pancakes (rs 200-250) are fluffy and served with butter and syrup. the omelette (rs 150-180) is a three-egg monster with your choice of fillings. the cold coffee (rs 120-150) is sweet and strong. total for two: rs 600-800, making it one of the most affordable sit-down brunch options in the city.

nothing here will blow your mind, but nothing will disappoint either. it’s reliable, affordable, and in a part of the city that’s underserved for brunch options.

what to order: pancakes and cold coffee. simple, satisfying, cheap.

verdict: best budget sit-down brunch in south bangalore. no frills, honest food.

17. hoot cafe & brewery

indiranagar / brewery brunch / rs 1000-1400 for two / 7.5/10

hoot combines cafe, brewery, and nightclub into one space, and the brunch takes advantage of all three. freshly brewed beer from noon, a food menu that covers breakfast classics and bar food, and a vibe that transitions from lazy brunch to afternoon party seamlessly.

the eggs benedict (rs 400-450) is decent. the wood-fired pizza (rs 450-500) is better. the in-house brewed beers (rs 200-300 per pint) are the real reason to brunch here instead of a regular cafe. the hefeweizen pairs surprisingly well with brunch food.

the space is large with indoor and outdoor sections. the outdoor area on a sunny bangalore afternoon is genuinely pleasant. weekends get progressively louder as brunch transitions into the afternoon drinking crowd.

what to order: eggs benedict, a wood-fired margherita, and their wheat beer.

verdict: best option if you want brunch to turn into a drinking afternoon. the brewery beers make it worth choosing over a regular brunch spot.

18. byg brewski

sarjapur road / brewery brunch / rs 1500-2000 for two / 7.5/10

byg brewski is one of bangalore’s most famous microbreweries, and their weekend brunch draws a crowd. the setting is what sells it - a massive open-air space with a garden, games area, and views. it’s designed for spending an entire afternoon, not just a quick meal.

the brunch menu has the usual suspects - eggs, pancakes, burgers - plus bar food like nachos, wings, and sliders. nothing extraordinary, but solid enough. the beers on tap (rs 250-350 per pint) are the star. the stout and the wit are both good. the lager is average.

the drive to sarjapur from central bangalore is the main downside. 30-45 minutes each way. but if you’re planning a full day activity - brunch, beers, games, maybe a late lunch - byg brewski is hard to beat for the overall experience.

what to order: the beer sampler (try all their brews), a loaded burger, and a plate of nachos for the table.

verdict: best brunch as a full-day experience. come for the beer, stay for the vibes.
