Insta-Worthy To Free WiFi: Hit Up These Cafes In HSR For A Fun Outing

Our favourite European all-day diner, Here & Now, has a menu that caters to every craving and more. From breakfast platters to burgers, sandwiches, salads, pasta, waffles, pancakes, smoothies, and shakes, there’s something for everyone. In addition to the extensive menu, you’ll love the naturally bright cafe, complete with an open bookshelf and plenty of indoor games like carrom, foosball, and even a guitar for those who want to play.

Featured on lists for budget eats in HSR and the best first date spots in the city, Sector 7 easily wins for its charming and cosy vibes. Packed on weekends, their all-day breakfast spread includes fluffy pancakes, decadent French toast, and loaded omelettes. With a contemporary playlist, al fresco tables for two, thin-crust pizzas, and hearty burgers, your catch-up session is sure to last for hours. They also offer WiFi, making it a great option for working remotely.

When you want to post about your date with your BFF or significant other, nothing beats an Instagram-worthy cafe, right? Tea Villa Cafe is just that, featuring monochrome floors, ceilings adorned with tropical murals, and plenty of cosy nooks. The menu is entirely vegetarian, but it's the variety of teas that you should definitely try. They offer over 90 flavours, including masala chai, Oolong, green and white tea, along with some sublime blends.

When you need a quiet space to finish your work, this is the place to head to. With glass walls, naturally lit interiors, and a cosy book corner for reading, it’s the perfect chill spot. Oh, and did we mention there’s wine? It really changes the game for working from a cafe! Their menu includes pizza, hearty mains, and appetisers to keep hunger at bay. Don't miss out on their weekly events, which feature open mics and stand-up comedy.

This cute little cafe in the basement is perfect for grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a meal on a budget. If you have INR 500 to share with a friend, go ahead and order their loaded fries, Pizza Sandwich, and a Nutella brownie thick shake. Plus, it’s fully vegetarian!

With live sports screenings, hookah, and a pool table, you’ve got the trifecta for a great catch-up with your squad. They also host events from time to time. The rooftop space is perfect for chilling out. The menu features a mix of cafe fare and Indian favourites, but we recommend sticking to tried-and-tested winners like fries, club sandwiches, and pasta.

The entire space has a warm, rustic feel, and a meal for two will cost around INR 1,200. We recommend sharing the Crunchy Chicken Wings, enjoying Aglio Olio pasta, and trying a sizzler, finishing off with an apple pie. They also screen sports matches, so you can catch a game without all the madness and crazed fans.

Pet-friendly, with an open-air rooftop setting and plenty of space—these are just a few reasons we love Kairos. It’s essentially a house converted into a cafe, with each room featuring its own unique theme and decor, our favourite being the Pondicherry room, with its bright yellow walls and murals. In the evenings, the place buzzes with college students, almost everyone opting for the terrace space. Everything is baked in-house, and their desserts are as indulgent as they come.

For a solid cup of single-origin coffee, this coffee chain is perfect. With its hipster decor and coffee processes (from Aeropress to pour-overs), you’ll likely find yourself working here, thanks to the co-working and community vibe. Order any of their signature brews or stick to the classics, but don’t forget to try their flatbread!

The only spot on this list that specialises exclusively in desserts, particularly mochi ice cream, offers 13 flavours, including green tea, mocha chip, and cider. These treats will take you on a trip to Japan without ever leaving your seat. The space is also wonderfully kawaii, featuring pastel-coloured furniture and minimal decor.
