The Outdoor Cafés That Make Pune Shine

A favourite amongst regulars, Sante Spa Cuisine has a fresh breeze, gorgeous interiors, and a sense of calm that most outdoor spaces in Pune don't manage to create. Among the curated antique furniture is a book rack that gives the space personality and a sense of quirkiness. Recycled lampshades, copper glasses, green sofas, and neem cutlery tie the space to an eco-conscious, mindful way of life. With Goa-inspired vibes, it's a one-of-a-kind outdoor dining spot the city has to offer.Vibe Check: Garden Seating, Open-Air Dining, Wellness-FocusedWhat to Order: Crunchy Chlorophyll Dimsums, Organic Farm Fresh Pizza, Truffled Tagliatelle, Red Thai Curry

Cafe Serenity in Kothrud is not a typical café. Founded by a psychologist and certified counsellor, it is a mental health-themed space that prioritises emotional wellness as much as a good cup of coffee. The café's ambience, colours, and meticulously designed artworks are all chosen to put you at ease, a design philosophy that results in a space that feels genuinely calming rather than simply decorated. Unique and creative decor, warm lighting, and a cosy yet refined ambience make every visit feel therapeutic.Vibe Check: Mental Health Themed, Warmly Designed, Community-RootedWhat to Order: Garlic Bread with Cheese, Penne Romana, Olives Bruschetta, Peach Iced Tea
