Fresh Bean Cafe & Restaurant - Cafe in Banakal - Chikkamagaluru, India

Almost impeccable experience. Best spot for lunch before/after hiking the Charmadi Ghat section. Food is surprisingly good, service was fast too, the loo was keen too.

Great place for a pitstop after Charmadi ghat experience / before heading down. Located at an Indian oil petrol pump campus- thus a fuel top up, air check up etc is a bonus during this pitstop. Plenty of parking available. Decent washrooms. Tasty food quality. Since the region is known for its pepper and coffee quality, the food & beverages containing this are really good. Overall a gem of a place compared to the overcrowded and hyped places before and after this location en route to Mudigere.

First order of tea was very nice. Repeat order we didn't get the same taste. Gobi Manchurian was horrible. Oily, spicy, blackened Gobi visible. This was despite telling him to keep it less spicy. Noodles & Bread omelette can be improved. Poori Bhaji and set dosa was not bad. Expected better outcomes in taste and presentation based on the ambience and reviews. Prices are decent though.

Very nice restaurant. They have good food with above average price. Excellent taste. I tired baby corn uttapam and plain dosa. Chatni is also very delicious. Coffee here is very nice. I recommend to any coffee lover. Tea is okish. Excellent washroom facility. decent parking space. Petrol pump is very next to to the hotel.

If you are tired of driving and wanna take a break just after Ghats section on your way from Mangalore to Bangalore then this place is a must Their coffee is super strong and amazing. They have wide range of Chinese items.. My personal favourite is Egg Pepper Fry and Schezwan Noodles #higlyrecomnended Washroom is clean and tidy especially for ladies to take a break.

Strategically located at the start of Charmadi ghat or end of it depending on where are you coming from,this is surely a good place for a break. Simple contemporary style, glass walls for a good view of the valley and tasty fresh food, good service and clean washroom surly makes an awesome combination. We had sandwiches and coffee both of which were pretty good. Pricing was quite fair. Surely a recommended place for a break !

I visited this restaurant this morning as I had to use the restroom. When I used the restroom and came out, the waiter there started yelling at me stating it's a private property and I had to not use the washroom. But according to the Indian Sarais Act a woman is supposed to use a washroom of any hotel/restaurant even if it's a five-star. This is a violation of Indian rights. The restaurant owner has to take out the board and follow the rules. The property being private/public doesn't matter at all.

Clean neat and spacious. Washroom facilities are clean specially for ladies. Food is tasty.
