The outdoor seating at this cafe is truly magical on a cool evening; the warm lights create such a cozy vibe! Chef Shimon was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout my visit. I tried their baked chicken , and it was a culinary delight – perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour . The prices were also very reasonable for such a high-quality experience. I highly recommend this cafe for anyone looking for a beautiful setting and delicious food!

We recently visited the newly opened Bonsai Café and were welcomed by a very warm and cozy ambiance filled with beautiful bonsai plants. We tried the chilly glazed chicken – it was perfectly spicy and tender. The chef, Shimon, is our friend, and it was wonderful to see her work her magic in the kitchen. Wishing Mahima all the very best for this new venture! Apart from the café experience, you can also shop for bonsai here, with plenty of lovely options to choose from.

A wonderful choice of both veg and non veg delicacies to suit every palate. We ordered most of the items in the menu and each item turned out really delicious. The starters, main course or the desserts.....a difficult choice to say what was the best.... Overall the ambience, the bonsai plants and the cafe are among the unmissable things in Mysore. When at the cafe, don't forget to meet up with the best aspect of the cave .. The chef... Chef Shimon and her team who make your experience wonderful. My suggestion.... Go try and decide for yourself. If you end up indecisive like me, go again and yet again. PS: take along different companions every time to help decide

I recently visited The Bonsai Cafe in Mysore and it instantly became one of my favorite spots. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with cozy seating and a relaxing vibe that makes it perfect for both casual hangouts and quiet work time. The coffee was rich and aromatic, brewed to perfection, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more delightful. What stood out most was the attention to detail—everything from the presentation to the background music created a memorable experience. Whether you’re a coffee lover, a foodie, or just someone looking for a calm place to unwind, this café is definitely worth a visit. I’ll surely be coming back again!

I have looked after to have such a beautiful plants cafe where I can enjoy greenery and buy plants and have food. Bonsai cafe is what I really want. Food is very good and service is fantastic. If they train themselves to make coffee better, it will be a perfect plants cafe in Mysore.
