Exploring Pune - Cafes & Coffee Shops
I have been in Pune now for a little over a year and have had the opportunity to explore quite a bit of the food scene at least.In my side of town. Apart from these, there are the cafes that I've been to thanks to the book club.Which are worthy of a mention. I'm putting together a list of cafes, coffee shops, Restaurants - both fine dining and small hole in the wall ones. Shall keep updating the list as I go along. Do share your recommendation so I can add them to the list as well. Cafes and coffee shops -  For many of us, these are places not just to visit for a copper coffee, but also places where we would like to work out of, or maybe even catch up with friends or just hang out. Here are a few I've been to over the last year. Butter Brews , Lane #5, Koregaon Park Located at the corner, it is a cozy place to catch up with friends. A small selection of Coffee & food menu. Be warned - service is mega slow Pet friendly - yes Wifi - unsure Parking - across the road [if you get lucky] Opens early on Sundays [9am] One O Eight Cafe, Pingale Farms, Koregaon Park Located inside a sprawling area, the cafe is big, and open to they garden & space around it. There is a nursery, art gallery, yoga & workout area apart from the cafe. Fabulous food & coffee menu and super sweet friendly staff as well. Pet friendly - yes Wifi - unsure Parking - near the gate/entrance Opens early on all days [8am]  Pimlico, Lane #6, next to Effingut, Koregaon Park A lovely cafe, with indoor & outdoor seating Decor is very instagram friendly & plenty of seating options /themes Decent food & beverage menu Again- service is tad slow Pet friendly - yes Wifi - unsure Parking  - across the road Open- 8am till 11pm on weekdays & 12am on Fri/Sat/Sun The Fat Labrador Cafe, Bavdhan Small cafe with two tables inside & couple more outside Have a mini collection of books that you can browse/read & even buy Wifi - Board says they have, but the one time we visited it wasnt working Good collection of coffee, also have a small coffee bar that you can choose from Food - small menu, but amazing food Pet friendly - Yes, one of the owners has a dog [Rumi] Parking - outside the complex or across the road Opens at 10am, closed on Thursday The Soundtrack Cafe, Pimple Nilakh A very cool music themed cafe with plenty of seating inside, and a small section outside Good place to sit & work from or have meetings at [except in evenings when they have a live band playing] Decent selection of beverages & food, prompt service.
