Sri Manjunatha Coffee Works

Down at Plot No. 17/4 on Kalamma Street, you’ll find Sri Manjunatha Coffee Works. We are right in the Cowl Bazaar area, not too far from Bengaluru Road. It’s a lively spot with a lot of people moving around, which keeps things interesting. Our workshop is where all the action happens. We spend our time roasting and grinding, making sure the coffee is ready for the local shops and kitchens. The building itself is pretty basic. We’ve got some old equipment that’s been with us since we started, and it still works better than some of the new stuff you see today. We don't have a receptionist or a fancy lobby. If you walk in, you’ll likely see one of us covered in coffee dust or hauling a heavy sack of beans. We talk to our customers like neighbors because most of them are. There’s no corporate talk here, just plain English and a focus on the work at hand. Sometimes the heat from the roaster gets to be a bit much during the summer, but we just open the doors and keep going. We don't make big promises or use marketing tricks. We just show up every day, do the grinding, and make sure the bags are filled. It’s a honest living, and we’re happy to be part of the Cowl Bazaar community. We keep the machines oiled and the beans fresh, and that is about it for us.
