This is a hidden jewel. Tucked away in a corner of Cunningham road this beautiful and cosy cafe is sure to steal your heart and refresh your mind. The food is healthy and tasty also staff is helpful and friendly. But the best part are the books. For a bookaholic like me the range of books were amazing. Starting from popular to rare their collection of books was spot on! This is where you want to be on any rainy afternoon.

This place is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Cunningham road. But if you locate it, it's a little piece of heaven. Surrounded by lush green trees, the air here is so pure and fresh. Add to it the lovely menu, lovelier staff, and an amazing collection of books, you've got no reason to leave. The food is priced well and portions are quite large. I had the avocado toast and ginger carrot cake. Both were to die for. I could almost taste the freshness in the toast. And for some crispness, there was the puffed rice sprinkled over. The combination was out of the world. The ginger orange cake was equally good. The subtle spiciness from the ginger and the natural sweetness from the orange marmalade married well into each other. It wasn't too light but neither was it too dense. The staff are so friendly and accommodative. Finding this place may be a little bit of a challenge, but that apart..this really heaven.

I fell in love with Champaca the second I set my eyes on the space. It's open, but cozy. It's so welcoming and the sight of the neatly arranged books is a bibliophile's paradise. It's quiet, for a change. Honestly, I didn't want to leave. The food and beverages are on the more expensive side and the portions are very less for what they charge, so that's perhaps the only downside :( I paid around INR 120 for a really tiny cup of macchiato that I finished in 3 sips, it was kinda disheartening. That's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Otherwise, it's a wonderful place I'd visit everyday if I could.

It's a beautiful place to read and chill. No music which is so rare in Bangalore. It's a bookstore café and it's the perfect place for me to read and eat, so this review maybe biased (wink) Ambiance : 5 stars ( I love the place) Food: 4 ( healthy and a well curated menu) Price: 3 ( it's very expensive for the portions and the type of food they serve, I paid 200 bucks for 6 slices of potato ) Would definitely go back though, just for the books and the feels.

Visited this place in the evening for high tea and was impressed by the charming house and serene garden—it truly feels like an escape from the chaos. They have a lovely collection of books across various genres, perfect for some quiet reading. We ordered Hot Chocolate, Spinach and Corn Quiche, and a Corn and Cheese Calzone. The food was average, but the Hot Chocolate was really good. The overall vibe was peaceful—an ideal spot to unwind and focus.

I went here with my friend for brunch. The ambience is bookish but those cute book/library cafe. Sitting around window added to my experience as it was peaceful and green. The only thing I didn’t like about this place is that they didn’t take my order properly. They gave partial order. But the potion size was more than enough for one person. The cafe menu was quite affordable too.

This place is really small. It’s cozy and nice. The ambience is good . But it’s limited seating. So I could just look through the books and leave . Didn’t get a table to sit and read . But a nice place

We travelled 1.5 hours to the cafe and there the staff told us that cafe is closed. It not mentioned on google or zomato. When I gave the feedback to the staff about it they were not interested in it . So literally our travelling was a waste of time. Can’t comment on the food since we did not sit .the ambience looked really cozy

It’s a nice quaint little place with very cute food and beverage options. Although I expected it to be a little bigger! It’s too small which makes it difficult to maintain privacy
