BANOFFEE

It was a very average experience if not poor. I keep cafe hopping every other week and today I thought I’ll try this cafe. The menu was okay, but little over priced I felt. I ate a mushroom melt sourdough sandwich and it was pretty bland, the only taste felt was that of mushroom, cheese and a tinge of olive oil. The place was pretty empty and honestly speaking, nothing aesthetically pleasing, but that’s not the point anyway. The issue arose when I had to pay the bill.I had to pay 53 rupees extra in the name of tax and charges. Not only did they include service charges, which according to the rules and regulations cannot be imposed on customers, they added the CGST and SGST after adding the service charges, which meant I had to pay tax on the service charges as well. They did not ask me if they could add service charges, neither did I know it was not mandatory except for a memory of reading about it. I paid the full amount and then went on to search the rules and regulations, it is then that I realised they actually took extra money from me. Neither will I ever step my foot in this shop, nor will I ever let anyone come here. Its not about paying 403 instead of 368, it’s about how they are blatantly looting customers who have absolutely no idea that this service charges do not have to be paid.

A lovely spot for breakfast and brunch! I had the Grilled Chicken Omelette and Nutella Pancake — both were really good and nicely made. The Nutella Pancake was so good it almost gave me a sugar high! 😋 I’ve also tried their Chicken Lasagna before, and it was amazing too. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the cozy vibe and great menu make it worth visiting. Can’t wait to try more dishes next time! ☕🥞🍳

This is one of my go to places for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you don't want to think too much on what to eat, come here as a no brainer. Today I stopped by for brunch English muffin breakfast and banofee special cold coffee. The breakfast was really filling and delicious. While some of the things like cherry tomato confit & bacon were not perfect, on the balance I would say the taste blended well. The best part is everything was hygienic & healthy. The coffee was also decent (go for an extra shot) & they do offer almond/oat milk which I liked very much. The service was great! The staff was warm, helpful & welcoming. The place had a great vibe & energy. A small note is they do take service charge of 10%, but you can get it waived off. Highly recommend this place in HSR, for good food & ambience.

We tried multiple dishes - avocado toast, biscoff latte, caramel frappe, penne alfredo, spaghetti and croissant. I would say I have tried better croissants but all the other dishes were really really top notch. Their service was also top notch, they were really attentive to our table, coming over as soon as we needed them without even having to call them. There's not much seating though, and no couple tables so reservation is advised to avoid surprises.
