Shelter Cafe has easily become my new favourite spot to hang out with friends — it’s one of those places where you walk in and instantly feel like slowing down and staying a little longer. The ambiance is a perfect blend of cozy and aesthetic, with warm lighting, earthy tones, and a laid-back vibe that makes it ideal for both long conversations and relaxed solo time. Coming to the food — everything I tried felt thoughtfully made and full of flavour: • The Strawberry Matcha was refreshing and beautifully balanced, not overly sweet, with that subtle earthy matcha kick. • The Java Chip Frappe was indulgent and rich, perfect if you’re in the mood for something comforting. • The Mediterranean Hummus Bowl was wholesome and satisfying — fresh, vibrant, and packed with textures. • The Ghee Podi Fries were an absolute standout — crispy, flavourful, and that podi spice hit just right. • The Sundried Tomato Burrata Pizza was deliciously creamy with a tangy twist from the tomatoes — easily one of the best things on the table. • And to end it all, the Vegan Chocolate Cake was surprisingly decadent — moist, rich, and something you wouldn’t guess was vegan. All in all, it’s the kind of place that gets everything right — good food, great vibe, and a space you actually want to come back to. Definitely going to be a regular here 🤍

Shelter cafe it was a vibe in itself.The space was serene, minimal, with calming greenery with a touch of Vintage look all around.It gave a rustic-bohemian earthy feel. There was a calming vibe with different aesthetics. The cafe is a preferred spot for digital nomads due to its spacious layout and the availability of power outlets at nearly every table. What we ordered Small Plates Italian Job Sandwich Makhana Bhel Beverages Vegan Latte (Iced) Signature Mocha Large Plates Chilli Garlic Soba NoodleBowl Dessert VeganChocolate Cake A perfect place for a perfect Atmosphere..!!!

Shelter Cafe has such a vibe — warm, cozy and the kind of place you can actually sit back and unwind. Tried their Matcha Cloud Hazelnut Latte which was smooth and comforting, and the Pizza Burrata was easily a standout — fresh, creamy and super satisfying. The Strawberry Salad felt light and refreshing, balancing out the heavier bites. Ended on a sweet note with their Tiramisu, which was rich without being overpowering. Even the burger was juicy and well done. Overall, great food paired with a really chill ambience that makes you want to stay longer.

This was on my bucket list since long and finally I visited shelter cafe 🍽️ loved the service, it was quick and smooth! Also their menu has some really good options to select from and I honestly wanted to try so much more! Definitely worth visiting again and also loved the location which was the cherry on top. It is quiet and peaceful 😌 and has a good ambience too. Also hope they do add sweet potato fries on their menu which I’m sure would become a favourite especially for the people who want to eat healthy and tasty 🤩

Visited Shelter x Javaphile in Bandra and it’s honestly one of those spaces you instantly feel at ease in. The interiors are calm, minimal, and thoughtfully designed very spacious with natural light. Every corner feels intentional without being overwhelming. Overall, it’s the kind of place you go to unwind, enjoy good food, sip on great coffee, and just slow down for a bit. Definitely a spot I’d keep going back to.

Their coffee is one of the best. If you love bitter coffees, then you need not look any further than Shelter cafe at Bandra. Their ambience? One of the best. You can spend hours and you wouldn’t even realise how time passes at this place. Can keep coming back for their coffee, food and ambience. Their service is excellent too. We ordered cappuccino, flat white, cheesecake brownie and idli benedict. All were top notch!

Tried the Chicken Salami Pizza, Shelter Bowl, Avocado Toast, Paneer Thecha Curry, Japanese Matcha Frappe & Classic Strawberry Flourless Cake .Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The ambience is super cozy with calm Carter Road vibes - perfect for brunch dates, coffee catch-ups, or a chill work session .Great service, great food, and such a wholesome experience. Definitely going back !

Used to love coming to Shelter. Now they have a no laptop no ipad no study policy on weekends. Even if you volunteer that you will shut your laptop if theres a guest waiting, they dont care. Basically, they dont want you spending even a minute longer here than you need to finish your food. Nobody cares about experience anymore- eat and leave. But the worst part is Rishi- he seems to have an attitude that will take this place down. Even if you’re speaking to him politely and with a smile, he seems to have some arrogance and needs serious training in customer communication.
