Elain Cafe Private Limited

We’re up on the 4th floor on Kodigehalli Main Road, right across from the Chairmansclub. It’s a bit of a climb if the lift isn’t working, but the view of the traffic from up there is actually kind of interesting. Being at S.No.641/17/2/5 isn't the easiest address to explain to people over the phone, so we usually just tell them to look for the club. Running Elain Cafe from here means we’re often busy in the kitchen area, getting things ready for the day. It’s a bit different being on a higher floor rather than on the street, as it feels more secluded. We spend our time managing the daily supplies and making sure the staff knows what’s on the menu. The Kodigehalli area has gotten so much busier lately, with more cars and bikes on the main road every month. Inside the cafe, it’s a mix of different sounds—the coffee machine hissing, people talking, and the general noise of a kitchen in full swing. We don’t have a massive corporate structure; it’s just a small team of us trying to keep things running smoothly. Some days are more chaotic than others, especially when we have a lot of people coming in at once. We just focus on the task at hand, whether it’s cleaning the tables or prepping the next batch of food. It’s a simple life, mostly centered around this one floor on a busy Bangalore road. We just try to get the coffee right.
