Art Blend Cafe
Probably the first to come to mind when we think of art cafes in the city, Dyu Art Cafe has a winning combination of art works, great food and laidback ambience. Displaying everything from sketches and documentary photographs to contemporary art {all displayed free of charge}, there’s plenty to keep us here for long. Plus, cups of freshly brewed coffee {we love their Cold Coffee too} and desserts to try out while gawking at the art all around. Read more about it here.
Perfect for coffee lovers and art enthusiasts, Art Blend Cafe lets artists, photographers and crafters display their works. Picking out paintings mostly by local artists, they change their exhibits every month. Keep an eye out for the wall art at their renovated space, too. They also have regular art and craft workshops for aspiring and amateur artists in the city. And, burgers, pastas and pizzas to munch on!
Featuring a different artist every month, Urban Solace goes all out to promote young artists in the city. Displaying everything from paintings and prints to photographs and postcards, the exhibition space also lets patrons and art lovers score some of the works at reasonable prices. On the food front, pick from sandwiches, pastas and steaks to quieten those hunger pangs. Wash it all down with a cup of their freshly brewed coffee.
