Atta Galatta Best Place For Book Lovers

By Samrat Dey

If you have never been to Atta Galatta then never complain about the art and culture scene in Bangalore. This cafe is not only a bookstore with a focus on Indian vernacular writing, it also plays host to literary and cultural events.

Located near Jyoti Nivas College in the midst of bustling Koramangala, 5th block, this place has a scrumptious menu which you can experience while you enjoy the events. Atta means dough in Hindi and play in Kannada and Galatta stands for racket, hence this bookstore and cafe’s name’s a fusion of sorts. There’s a separate Atta Galatta bakery at Bommasandra Industrial Estate and from the bookstore or from supermarket chains you can buy a range of Atta Galatta breads.

From the menu, a plate of Smileys will cheer your mood and if you are longing for something different, you must experience the Roast Chicken Sandwich or the Garden Fresh Sandwich. You can order for the juicy Chicken Burger, the delicious Paneer Burji Sandwich or the Masala Pav. Try the Freshly Baked Treats like Lemon Tarts, Brownies, Chocolate Cupcakes, Cake Pops and we recommend the Filter Coffee and Black Coffee at the place while you read a book or spend time with your friends. Cost for two should be around Rs 300 for experiencing favourites from the menu.

On weekends the place is packed with aspiring writers, professionals and veteran artists who share their thoughts with the authors, hosts and other curious visitors.
