I have been wanting to write this for a long time. One of the best south Indian eateries in the heart of south Bangalore. Hands down, this is the easiest option for your quick bites. Keep up!
Though you don't have seating to have breakfast but it doesn't matter when you have tasty food front of you. Amazing Dosa, karabhat, idli vada served with authentic chutney. You can have by2 coffee and end your breakfast.
To one of the very popular,economical,authentic food joints in Bangalore. It is difficult for this place to be unnoticed due to the constant flow of people in search of tasty,pocket-friendly quick bites. I had a cup of classic filter coffee and a plate of vada. That was the crispiest vada I ever had and the chutney adds to the savour. I am still not sure what the name of this place stands for, but definitely it does justice to the name since the coffee is amazing :)
One of the best thing to do in the morning is to grab a hot coffee with some great breakfast at pocket friendly menu. Gulab jamun is a pure happiness to give the final touch to the meal.
Excellent food. Idlis and karabath at their best. Lot of customers all the time. Coffee is best and cheapest in Bangalore. I would recommend this to anyone
We have had everything off their menu and would recommend having
-KHARA BATH
-KESARI BATH
-IDLY VADA
Its both affordable and deligthful!We got it home delivered and it was delivered very fast too!
All quality is good but for the online order not giving sambhar with dosa and vada is unexpected. Only one chutney given that also pathetic. Chutney was not good.
Good taste I just ordered masala dosa , it was well prepared . It all depends on the chutney which they are maintaining it daily.
Overall great food delicious
Single Coffee is a word, By 2 Coffee is an Emotion.
Yes! By 2 Coffee is the best place for Idly Vada with Butter.
By 2 Coffee has simple menu like Idli, Vada, Besi Bele Bath, Masala Dosa & Chow Chow Bath.
I always prefer their Idli & Vada. Single Idli costs ₹10 where Vada costs ₹15 & Coffee ends with ₹5.
By 2 Coffee is located in the prime location of South Bangalore, where traditions gets together.
Seating - By 2 Coffee attracts most of 50+ age group. They don't have atleast one chair to sit. I strongly recommend management to look after this for their customer satisfaction.
Absolutely love their idli, vada, chutney and coffee. I find their khara bhath to be a little on spicier side and greasy as well. But their idli and vada are one of the good ones in Bangalore. Be prepared to wait in queue to get you coupon and to get a hands on ur food as well.
Tiny breakfast place in Gandhi bazaar - right opposite Bugle Rock park.
Really delectable idli-vadas here. The oil used is minimal, that's a plus too. Love their tangy chutney. Haven't tried their dosa and coffee yet. But I've heard good reviews about them.
Service is fast, but it can get really crowded sometimes and this can hold up the queue. Still, a great place to grab breakfast after a nice walk in the park.
Its hard to miss the ambling crowd outside this place in the evenings.. Having a limited but delicious menu, this outlet is economically priced.. Must trys are their idli, khara baath and coffee. It's a darshini kind of place and the only place to sit are the vehicles parked in front of the shops..
The best place to ignite your taste buds. A pocket-friendly place with good quality. Everything served here is delicious and it is beyond belief. Loved this place and it is, ofcourse a must visit place in Basavanagudi. It will be crowded in the weekend and waiting is worth. Visit here and enjoy.

Pocket-friendly - yes
Best bets: All items :P
If any food outlet can be synonymous to pocket friendliness then By 2 Coffee must be the one. I just love their coffee. Their masala dosa is also amazing in taste. Do try out their vada and idlis too. But nothing can beat the taste of their masala dosa. It's truly yummm.
Cheers to food! Cheers to life!
Pocket pinch: 100 for two
Well this was there 1st IDLY joint,
Started 3to4 years back, with options of
IDLY - Chutney
Wada
Khara Bhat
Keseri Bhat
Coffee
From Day 1 the food here is awesome and we'll crowded a must try hotel in Bangalore
Fast food centre that serves only Idli and Karabath with Chutney. No Sambar at all. Chutney is the speciality here and a bit crowded place almost all the time of the day. Easy on Pockets though
Located just opposite to Bugle Rock Park its a great place to have quick breakfast after an enjoyable walk/run in the park.
By 2 has limited menu which is the best part of the restaurant.
We had idli, vada & khara bath with loads of chutney. All the iteams tasted good and chutney was the hero. Filter Coffer was good too.
By 2 is definitely one of the good hotel in Basavanagudi.

This is one of the favourite joint.Quick hot idlis and yummy kharabath. Vada will be too crispy. Love all food. Very tasty coffee too. Chutney is liquid and sambhar not there. Very reasonable and always crowded.coffee tastes too good too. Highly recommended!!
A Simple menu. 🤘🏻
Hygiene and Tasty food. 👌🏻
I have had a unique khara bath here.
They have recently introduced bisibele bath and masala dosa, even these are tasty.
A good place to visit for breakfast. Idlis are very soft and Vadas are crispy. Usually the place is crowded but the food is good and it is within the budget

Even though they are new entrants, they have made quite a good name in short span of time & are competing against the legends, with their soft Idly, crispy vade & Chutney. NO sambar with idly. The hot idly served with chutney makes a fantastic combination. They do have a separate counter next to coffee section serve only Chutney, One can imagine, the demand for their chutney !!!. Uddina Vade- extremely crispy on the outer, and as you dig in, it becomes soft, the combination is just unmissable. Amazing Kesari bath, they don’t use colors, so it resembles the rava color, Kharabath is also very good, right amount of vegetables, generous oil gives it very unique taste, This place offers very limited items, and is crowded all the time. The unique thing which I observed at this place is, they have clearly mentioned what products, Ingredients they use for making their dishes, and they use quality products & doesn’t compromise on the same, probably one of the reasons that all their dishes taste extremely good. There is no space to eat, one has to stand on the footpath, road to enjoy their offerings. Filter coffee, is their signature offering, people throng this outlet for hot filter coffee, its Rs. 5 per cup(By2), full coffee costs Rs. 10 and this place doesn’t disappoint us. All the items taste good, Pocket friendly
By 2 Coffee.
Buy Two as they serve half 🙂. Half a glass and one vada. That’s the concept here - ‘Half plate’ and it sells!!
Crowded mostly, place works on token system, it serves the best filter coffee I have ever had. This is a local favorites and tucked outside Bugle Rock park in south Bangaluru ( Basavanagudi). Perfect for a morning or evening snack post walk at the park. Bull temple is 10 minutes walk.
The crispy vada is soft from inside and is served with generous amount of liquid chutney, which is somehow just not enough! The best vada I ever had for 15 Rs. And, yes one is enough for a quick snack with refreshing local coffee, 5 Rs. Locals also hog on Idli and sweet halwa here.
The place is crowded with locals and has no siting arrangement. Grab your coffee and stand to see the craze.
Experience some local culture with some tasty and hygienic food at pocket friendly prices!

Best place to go for a quick breakfast. It’s a small shop in Gandhibazar. The service is really fast. They don’t give sambar but the chutney is equally tasty. One does not realise that the sambar is missing. The vada is so crispy and the idli is really soft. If you are in a hurry and want a hygiene place,then this is the place to visit. The filter coffee here is amazing. I mean obviously, its in their name XD
It always does not make me sad when I just head here.. a delicious south Indian breakfast awaits you not cutting your pocket too:) The idlis are soft, vadas are crispy which is served with only chutney but that is the support for a tasty treat of here..The breakfast could be ended with a strong filter coffee which couldnt be any better , do head here and treat yourself now coz it's even pocket friendly:)
A good place to visit for a quick bite of idly and crispy vada and have coffee , a highly regarded place which serves food at very affordable price and yet managed to keep money less which will attract customers from all walks of life, the taste is good and when ever I visit this place I will be rejoiced by the taste , only one downside which you can't complain is no place to sit and you have stand outside to eat your food , but again no complains as the food is excellent and bang for buck.
if sambar provided it would be delicious

serve the food hot.... pls improve the service
wish they gave sambar along, else everything was perfect
Food was, chutey was lil spicy
Best place for breakfast in south bangalore.. Very clean.. Fast service.. Lovely idli and vada.. Coffee is awesome.. Parking is a problem tough..
Finding good breakfast places in basvanagudi area isn't difficult because every street has one. This is similar to brahmins coffee bar and taaza thindi. Their tagline says half coffee with full majaa! Well I think that's totally true here. That half glass of coffee was just so good with the correct amount of sugar and with a balanced taste. The idly and vada to accompany the coffee was yummy as well. Overall, a perfect breakfast in the old places of bangalore.
Visited By 2 coffee today and what a wonderful place.
It's surrounded by trees and early morning it's such a nice place to stop and have some good breakfast.
We tried the idli-vada with Benne and chow chow bath with a coffee. Everything was quite wonderful. There's no seating or table or anything, however, we can just sit in our car or on our bikes and have some good, wholesome south Indian goodies.
There are a lot of pet owners also who come here so that was definitely an added bonus, all the cute puppers.
Must visit, preferably early morning before it gets too hot.

If you have been to Brahmin's coffee bar then you will feel that the menu of this place is inspired by them. The owners of this place must be really brave to try imitating the dishes of the legendary Brahmin's coffee bar but hats off to them for job well done!!
Ambience - Nothing to talk here. It is a self service place with just counter where you pay for the dish and place the order for food. There is an adjoint section where you place the order for the beverages and to get additional servings of chutney which is a very good thing cause trust me you really need at-least 1 extra serving of that delicious chutney!
Service - They are super duper quick! They are really good at handling crowds. Even when the place is very crowded you will get your food within a maximum of 10 minutes. I have been going to this place since it opened and I have seen the place completely empty.
Food - The idli here is so soft that you don't even have to make the effort of chewing and with the chutney it is the best dish for breakfast! If you are a sambar lover then sorry to disappoint you but they don't prepare sambar here.
Vada is always so crisp, it makes the perfect combination with the soft idli.
I don't usually have Kharabath but I absolutely love it here and it leaves you wanting for more!
This is a perfect place to have something quick and at a reasonable rate without compromising on the taste!
PS: The prices of everything on the menu has increased but not much, it is still really cheap.
I am visiting this place from almost 2 years, the place is best for its chutney. I tried idly vada , chow chow bath , jamoon.
The chutney was super and always huge crowd in the evenings.
Service : 4/5
Ambience : 4/5
Quantity : 4/5
Too good good especially coffee just for 5Rs. I always crave for this place.Generally its Crowded..
Love it for their filter coffee...
😋😋😋😋
The dishes on menu are same as that of brahmins coffee bar and I have to say it tastes very good. The space to stand and eat seems a little less as the place attracts a good crowd on any day. My usual ritual is to have a good by2 coffee and go for a run. And have idli and crispy vade on my way back. Hygienic and tasty food at a good price.
Basavanagudi has so many fantastic places to have idli dosa and khara bath and this is a great addition to the already existing legendary places. The vada is excellent here and so is idli. The chutney is pretty good but not to the level of brahmins coffee bar chutney which is the best. Possibly the only hotel in Bangalore that serves half cup of coffee for 5 rs. Totally worth it.
Went for Brahmins and ended up here on a cold sunday morning
At first, was not interested but riding 15kms could not let us go empty stomach
Trust me, its worth every penny
From Vada to Idli to Kesari bath and even chow chow bath are some specialities that should not be missed
This place is my go to for every Saturday breakfast!
If it was located near my house you would see me everyday here for breakfast, but unfortunately its too far, hence can visit once a weekend which is a bummer!
My order is fixed here, one khara and vada! Its brilliant each and every time i eat it, tingles my taste buds and my craving for it grows even more! Slurp! *drolls as i type this*
I love this place, the food! Brilliant!
Hands down to the place where you can find the the best tasting Khara Bath in Bengaluru. It lures your taste buds in way that you just can't stop with one plate of it. The chutney is also too good.
Even other dishes are tasty, like the super soft idlis, the crispy Vadas and even the crispy and small but yet tasty Dose.
The filter Kaapi is also Amazing here.
It's a really clean, hygienic and we'll maintained outlet.
Very easy on pocket.
If you haven't visited this place then you don't have to think twice to do it today.

Heard a lot about the famous Food Street and being a foodie could not wait any longer and finally decided to visit yesterday.
The food street is roughly 100meters long but it was fully crowded and I got delighted to see so many people who values good and quality food @ pocket friendly price.
I would have walked for nearly 10 m and found the eatery famous for their mouth watering Idli-Vada and tea/coffee.
This eating house is surely a crowd puller as I heard.
Though there is no seating area available , but this does not bother anyone. Every individual I found there were patient and excited about what they ordered.
I quickly checked their easy on the pocket menu and ordered one plate of Idli and Vada.
I received my order within 2 minutes.
Both idli and vada were served with green mint chutney.
Idli was soft and supple and got easily melted in my mouth. Chutney was very fresh and tasty and was complementing the Idli.
Vada was crisp enough to make you fall in love with it. Also it was not at all oily. Even it was bigger in size than most of the places where I had Vada before.
After almost cleaning the plate (yes it was that yummy), I had coffee.
It was freshly brewed and tasted delicious.
Also it was neither light nor strong in taste, it was exactly as I love to drink.
The person serving the coffee asked me before while pouring the concoction:-)
In nutshell, this place is worth trying ,service is quick and prompt.It just serves handful of items but each one of them superbly prepared. I am surely gonna come back soon.
Be it idli vadas kharabath kesribath or even masala dosa. This place is a one stop for all of these at a very reaonable price and an amazing taste. The coffee is outstanding and they also serever various types of holige, a must visit place.

Being one of the most famous South Indian restaurants that emerged only a few years back, by 2 coffee has won the heart of all South Indians by serving amazing food!
A small typical "tiffin" outlet, the place from a few days welcomes you with a banner of "masala dosa" at just rupees 25 ! How amazing is that! And very reasonable.
Been here on an evening to savour their yummy idly vada sambar and I couldn't wait to try their dosas as well.
Took a masala dosa and a kesari bath. After few minutes of waiting, finally got the chance to eat my dosa😂. It's always like "worth the wait". The dosa completely drenched in ghee was served with coconut chutney. And it tasted heavenly! Crisp, hot and delicious, it was too too good. And kesari bath as always was the best with pineapple chunks and dry fruits.😋😋😋
And you cannot leave from this place, without sipping on their coffee. It has always been and will always be the "power dose" and one amazing beverage like the tagline of this place "half coffee...full maja". 😉😉
Worth the price, worth a visit!!
Undoubtedly the best place in basavanagudi for idli vada. Their chutney is just mouth watering and being one of the oldest restaurants in bangalore, they have maintained their legacy well. They make food without any soda or onion garlic. The food here is always fresh and gluten free.. Love this place.
This is small eatry located near bugal rock, basavanagudi. They serve some good South indian cusines. Idli, vada, green chutney, best filter coffee, kharabath. Good place for evening cravings. Must visit.Anjana Dwarakanath

All items are very good including chetney. Hygienic and of good quality. Now I understand they have opened lunch too. here Nowhere you get reasonably good coffee for 5 rupees.All the best.
I love them for their taste of food and being a quick bite shop they really serve you quick. Let be coffee or Idli-vada they taste better than many big restaurants
Have been to this restaurant many times. Quick service and pocket friendly. Idli vada is must try. Khara bhaat is another item that one should try here. Coffee is decent.

This place is best known for authentic South Indian breakfast. Their idli and vada is a must try. The idlis are soft and vadas are crispy,just how they should be. Everything else they serve,tastes equally good. Also, it's pocket friendly!
Some super soft idlis and runny spicy yummy chutney.. Definately worth a dig. Also try their upma and coffee. This is one pocket friendly place that will make you fall in love with iconic south Indian classics..

Simply fantastic, good taste, very hygienic for reasonable price. I wish they must open more and more franchise in Bangalore. This is a big lesson for other hoteliers.
Good idli vada for less price . Coffee is also good and really surprised with the price . Pocket friendly cum lovely food but ambience should had been better.
Idly and vada turned out to be the best
Must try
And the service was super quick
If you are looking out for a breakfast which is pocket friendly check out this place
And do not miss the coffee
Took some effort to find the place, but was worth it. Idli that melts in your mouth and '1 second service'. Do go to check out the place. I am new in Bangalore and wanted to try authentic food!
The vadas and holige tasted awesome! The menu is limited but they serve the idli and vadas piping hot..we chanced upon this place and found it interesting to see a large crowd infront of a tiny outlet.. kudos to their quick service .
Maybe the chutney could have been a little thicker in consistency and the holige a bit hot . Overall it was a pleasant experience and it deserves repeated visits ( atleast if ur staying around )
Ambiance - A small outlet in the beginning of food street.
Price - Pocket-friendly
Service - Quick as they serve only a few items. A man is positioned near the entrance with a bucket-kinda vessel just to serve you chutney.
Taste - Very limited items on the menu.But everything that is on it are worth trying.
Some of the items I tried are :
Idly ( Tasty.Served only with chutney. )
Kesaribath ( Good. )
Coffee (Strong filter coffee just for Rs.5.Can you believe that ? )
Awesome idli vada for so less price . One of the cheapest place and the food is hygienic , fresh and just out of the steam oven. Coffee is also nice . I like their chutney probably bcoz they add ' oggarane' or season it . Pocket friendly cum lovely food
Excellent place which serves Aunthentic South Indian food like Idly, Dose and Rice bath. Idly is out of this world and it's amazingly smooth. U will definitely not stop for one plate. So wat r u waiting for! Go and have 2 plates of Idly and Bisi bisi filter coffee :)
Highly recommended:)

At Rs.5 for a filter coffee, this joint began disrupting the Darshini business. Model is pretty much like Brahmin's Coffee bar (diluuuute chutney :) ) , but economical and I would think on many days better in terms of taste. I always stick to the Idli,vada,coffee combination and they never let me down. Service is super quick and one walks away with a value for time/money experience. Must try !!
This place is one of my favorites to have south Indian breakfast delicacies. Idli and Vada are top sellers here,I would also like to mention their Chutney,because it has just the right amount of spice and is very suitable for people who prefer less spice in their food(unlike other Darshinis,whose Chutney is quite spicy).
Their Kharabath and Kesaribath are super tasty as well.
Quality of food-4.5/5
Value for money-5/5
Awesome crisp uddina vada. Kara bath, fluffy idly chutney, coffee . All these tastes good. Place is usually crowded and taste remains same at basavangudi and malleswara.
So this place serves only idly vada Khaira bath kesari bath and coffee. And no sambhar. The food is really tasty and the service is really quick . Although the place is always crowded you don't waste time waiting . The pricing is also very good. A pocket friendly place for breakfast.
Very limited options with the range of food they serve but I think that's wat helps them to keep the standards up . No Dosas no sambars but serves one of the best idly in town .. idlys r soo soft and melt in ur mouth and their chutney is awesome ... And the coffee 😍😍😍😍😍 it's sooooo good .... Awesome place and very very pocket friendly dude 35 rs u can finish ur superb breakfast topping it with a awesome coffee... Hope they open a branch in my area too 😍
My outing to Gandhi bazar is never complete without eating here..we end up eating or having coffee here twice a week..food is gud..idli vada khara bath coffee r amazing. .but only thing is place is crowded always n very small and we have to stand outside n eat..n parking a 4 wheeler is a big problem. But worth it. Definitely light on ur pocket.
