Phone: 41115717

A perfect place to hangout and watch the world go by. We decided to check out Mr. Beans on a Sunday afternoon as we were in the mood for something hot (drink) and light (food). It was amazingly cozy and the cafe is designed in a way (divided into sections) that you get privacy without feeling left out. It is very difficult to pull that off and Mr. Beans scored high marks in that category. The ambiance was terrific and it is definitely a place to laze around and enjoy the beautiful Bangalore weather.

The food was quite good. There is a variety of things you can choose from, from pastas, burgers, subs and sandwiches. We started off with a chicken hot dog and honey cappachino. The hot dog was HUGE and a perfect starter for two people. I didn't expect it to be that big. It was basically a small loaf of bread with veggie fillings and a chicken sausage on top. It was even pretty to look at. The cappachino was perfect for the cloudy weather. We then ordered a chicken club sandwich, which was also quite big compared to typical sandwiches you get anywhere else. It was slightly cold and my preference is usually a warm sandwich but it was not unedible. The sauce was extremely good as it had a smoky flavor to it.

For dessert, we ordered a slice of black forest cake as we were already quite full. It was not a typical black forest cake in that it felt more like regular chocolate cake but it was a good finisher.

Mr. Beans also offers hookah, which was slightly more expensive compared to places like Mocha. We didn't try it out as we decided to keep it for another time.

Mr. Beans is a place where you can just chill out while getting the privacy that other "lounges" don't usually offer. We found that as the biggest plus. The portions of the food is quite large compared to the price and it is a great bargain. They also accept sudoxo coupons, which we used.

We thoroughly enjoyed spending time here and we intend to make this place our regular hangout.
