Brahmin's Coffee Bar is a tiny standing-counter tiffin place in Shankarapuram, serving idli-vada and filter coffee in a very short menu format.
Brahmin's Coffee Bar is a small vegetarian tiffin counter in Shankarapuram, Basavanagudi. The menu is short and largely fixed: idli-vada, upma, khara bath and coffee, sold at very low prices and eaten at a few standing tables. The soft idli with coconut chutney is the item most often cited. Customers commonly queue briefly at opening. The place is a standard stop on Basavanagudi food walks alongside Vidyarthi Bhavan and VV Puram. Timings are limited and it can close early once ingredients run out.
