Beanlore Coffee Roasters
Functioning as a cafe and workspace, Beanlore reflects not just HSR Layout but Bangalore's start-up, coffee-fueled tech culture. There are private meeting pods, wireless chargers on hot desks, and a conference room. Private pods are chargeable by the hour and honestly, somehow it's better than a co-working space. The coffee is good and their snacks and substantial eat features croissants to rice bowls.
