The ambience is so peaceful and colourful, you will all vibrant colours here. The outside sitting area is open and the room inside has books and games for you to enjoy some quality time with your friends. They have elaborated menu. The food items they serve is fresh and the portion is also satisfied. It's one of my favorite places to hangout with my friends in Pune.

I order food from Kathaa for the first time during the lockdown. While most of other food joints have increased the food prices and degraded the quality of food, taking the customer for granted, Cafe Kathaa definately stands apart from them. It seems to be that place where people put their heart in cooking the food.

I have been ordering breakfast from here since past three days and nothing has disappointed me yet. Aglio olio and Basil pasta were both quite good and in ample quantity and with decent packing. The paneer wrap is very tasty and comes in a crispy wheat base. Palak Paneer paratha tasted a little bland but that's okay. They anyway don't add salt in the food and you can add according to your taste. This place has been my saviour during lockdown. Keep up the good work guys. Would visit soon after things get better

An old bunglaw transformed into a beautiful Instagramable cafe. The lovely winter sun makes you want to sit out and enjoy life. You decide whether you want to be with friends here or just on your own for that me time or work. This place is for everyone. I was supposed to be there for sometime but ended up spending my entire morning and afternoon there. This place is addictive. The Cajun spiced fried are just delish. We ended up reordering these. The veg pizza had a thin crust with loads of toppings covered in a gooey bed of cheese. This was lipsmackingly yum. The regular Capaccino is served with a cookie which my friend gobbled up. Had an amazing experience!!!

I love the ambience here, it definitely has a very lively and pleasant atmosphere. We ordered quiet a few dishes among them the Spinach and corn omelette ,pasta and mocktails are recommended . Not a huge fan of burgers or Pizza here as I found them extremely bland. For appetizers Nachos with Salsa is recommended here, you may enjoy cheese and Corn Bullets but definitely with a sause.

A very good start to the New Year.

Visited the cafe on the first weekend of new year.The cafe is having a very nice ambience and a relax,chilled environment.

We had the corn and cheese bullets,Nachos,Arabian Burger, pizza and had a mocktail named Captain America.

#Corn and Cheese Bullets:They were perfectly crisp on the outside and gooey inside.But they were a bit bland.More seasoning or spicy sauce would have been good.

#Nachos:They were the best and the Mexican salsa was the best and fresh,refreshing.

#Pizza:The pizza was properly loaded with perfect amount of the cheese and also the flavors were perfect and sure to opt for.

#Captain America: It was the best mocktail to end with the presentation was up to the point.

Surely would like to visit this place again

“Art enables us to find and lose ourselves at the same time,” believed the distinguished American writer Thomas Merton. Experiencing any form of art par excellence pretty much evokes a similar sentiment. On the same note, there couldn’t have been a more fitting description for Fergusson College Road’s Café Kathaa than Merton’s idea of art. An old bungalow that has been remodelled into a quirky, bohemian and calming avatar, Café Kathaa boasts of rows of spectacular vertical gardens, making the décor undoubtedly ultra instagrammable! Continental, especially Italian, burgers, pizzas, smoothies and detox alternatives, desserts, in addition to comfort food are the range of gastronomic indulgences you can choose from. 100 marks to the Pineapple and Ginger Healer, Grilled Cottage Cheese and Melon Salad, Spaghetti with Lemon Butter and Almonds, Egg Sushi and the delish Mexican Coffee Shake that we downed and could not get enough of! “We have something for everyone, whether it is books, good food, beverages, board games or events. Also, we are work-friendly and offer wi-fi, printing and scanning services for the millennial professionals, who prefer working from a venue of their choice than the confining interiors of a typical workplace,” explains Nivedita Atre, the driving force behind Café Kathaa. A former lawyer practising at the Bombay High Court, Nivedita was always in pursuit of a creatively satisfying and fulfilling vocation. With Café Kathaa, she found her inner calling, and her passion-driven approach is traceable in the eclectic nature of the place. True to its name, the café is home to more than 800 books (English, Marathi and Hindi): a feature that instantly connects it to city’s band of bibliophiles, who are always on a hunt for good books and soothing reading spaces. At the same time, there is no dearth of action-packed happenings at the café, given that it lights up and regularly hosts poetry slams, open mics, stand-up shows, art exhibitions and workshops, and storytelling sessions, and so on. And the fact that Café Kathaa is an embracing, pet friendly space definitely warrants a mention!

We’re going again, and yet again! How about you?

Looking for a Calm and peaceful place in the midst of hustle and bustle of FC road? YES! You read it right. Cafe kathaa is based right in the heart of FC road, in lane opposite to Hotel Vaishali.
Head to this place for Instagramic ambiance, books to read and delicious food!
Here we tried,
Pizza Valparaiso – 270 – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The best part is it’s a thin crust pizza with lots of cheese and lots of toppings. Put some oregano and you are sorted :)

Penne on confit tomato Sause – 270– ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Penne in red Sause with cherry tomatoes, broccoli and corns with a slight touch of black papper. Exactly the way I like it!

Triple Dekker Sandwich – 220– ⭐⭐⭐
A typical 3 layered sandwich with Coleslaw, veggies and cheese mixture.

Salted Caramel and Pretzel Shake – 200– ⭐⭐⭐
The combo of Vanilla ice cream and caramel combined with Pretzel is bang on. A #musthave when visited here.

After Seeing a good rating on zomato we decided to go to cafe kathaa for sunday breakfast the ambience is good and we ordered for paratha nd eggs for our breakfast. Food and the portion of food which was served was excellent or i should say worth the cost only thing which i didnt like is the cheese wat they have put on the eggs.. So my suggestion is that you put lil less cheese as the cheese was bland nd it was making the omelet bland or u can use cheddar cheese rather than using mozzarella so it will enhance the taste and also improve on ur ginger tea.. But it is a must visit place if you are a egg lover as they only serve egg nd other than tht all veg... I will surely visit again to try thr different dishes in the menu..

Aesthetics! Just like the name it feels like the place is come out of a story. A beautiful old bunglow turned into cosy cafe that also hosts meet ups and workshops.They have interesting book collection and boardgames. Wifi too. Everything here gives a pleasant vibe and reflects a lot of love in making and keeping up the place. Kudos to their team! 👍Outdoor and indoor seating both are spacious and comfortable.

Decent menu. The Americano was served at perfect temperature, with a cookie. The signature sandwich came with lot of fries and variety of vegetables. Impressive taste and just the right quantity.

If you are looking for a hangout place near FC that will take you away from hustle bustle of the city, then must go. Highly recommended! 😊

I was here with a friend today morning. This is probably the best book cafe in the city. Good collection of books, an ambience that will draw you in, pop of colors and great lights. They have indoor and outdoor seating available, both offering their perks. As soon as I entered, I loved the vibe of the place. Staff were ok, they can be more friendly. Menu lacked veg breakfast options. They need to have some more veg breakfast options. I only had a black coffee which was good but portion could be bigger for the cost. Overall a great place to sit, read, hangout with friends, get some work done. Do visit!

There’s a charming old-school bungalow on FC road that has been turned into an expansive cafe. With a social media-worthy style and peaceful ambiance with green foliage all around, Cafe Kathaa is a must-visit place for those who like to enjoy good books while munching on amazing food. Offering free Wi-Fi, Kathaa welcomes you with open arms and hot coffee to spend your day working in one of the most peaceful location in the heart of the bustling city. And for the millennials, there are Kindles as well.

Their cold coffee is just perfect! It's a perfect place to hangout with friends(they have various board games and card games), do your work(free WiFi), or just read (a good book collection and Kindles on every table ) . The inside seating gives you a very homely feel and that's what I loved the most about this place.

Having heard a lot about a new café on FC Road, I dropped in for a Sunday brunch with my companion and we were immediately greeted with rustic interiors, strings of lights, and quaint potted plants. We chose to sit inside, in the room which housed numerous books ranging from fiction to fact. It was pleasantly noted that the café also had free WiFi and provisions for printing and charging devices at every table.
We had the Masala Cheese Omelette, the Vegan Falafel Burger and an Orange Lemonade. While we waited for our food to arrive, we browsed through the menu, intrigued by items like the Mushroom Cappuccino and the Beetroot Pancakes (which I'm assuming are only for the adventurous).
It was evident that the café was an old residential complex converted into a space that aimed to provide a carefree, relaxed atmosphere for those looking to enjoy a cup with a book or a classic movie.
The first dish to arrive was the vegan burger, which albeit being dry, was rich in flavour and paired with crisp, spiced french fries and a hummus dip. The orange lemonade was refreshing and clearly made from scratch, considering the burst of citrus that came with every sip. Finally we tried the omelette and realized that the dish had an interesting addition in the form of dill . . . which added another dimension to the food (being a bold spice that isn't often used in Indian breakfasts).
The food alone would be given a rating of 3/5 based on taste and presentation, but coupled with the quirky ambience that this café offered.. 4 would be an accurate representation of time and money well-spent here.

I will assuredly be finding myself lounging in one of the low-raised couches, sipping on a mocktail and enjoying the company that I bring with me in the near future.

A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! 
An instaworthy cafe with beautiful interiors, pretty enough to make you not want to leave. Situated at one of the busiest areas in town and the most happening as well. 
It is also a pet-friendly cafe, scoring major points in my books. The cafe also has workspaces and can be used as a community centre.

An old bungalow converted into a book cafe which not only has an elaborate collection of Hindi, English & Marathi books but also has kindles and a humongous food menu.
Cafe Kathaa was a delight on a weekend morning along with some friends, we had the privilege of the company if the owners and also their adopted pets.

Smoothie:- The ones I absolutely loved are crazy healthy and tasty 

I am not much of a smoothie person, prefer salads to them and I like the crunch but after having the green apple and kale smoothie I have changed my mind. 
I absolutely loved the taste and the crunch of the small pieces of kale and avocado, also for sweetness they use honey and not sugar.

* Green apple & kale smoothie + honey and yoghurt 
* Strawberry and avocado

Omelettes:- Wholesome healthy and amazing 
I love wholesome, healthy and freshly made omelettes and Cafe Kathaa has a menu where you will be spoilt for choice. 
Do try the recommended omelettes, they are definitely worth it.

* Tex Mex Omelette with tortilla chips 
* Kathaa Jumbo Omelette made with 8 eggs 
* Shakshuka 

Pancakes:- The ones I absolutely loved
Pancakes are everyones favourite and nothing can really go wrong with them, so if you are a pancake fan make sure you try their vast sweet and savoury options.

* Beetroot Pancake 
* Devils Advocate 

Tip:-  If you are looking for a quiet place with good internet connectivity, books and food options, this cafe is an ideal place for all of you working professionals & students.

Café Kathaa is located on one of the most happening streets of Pune. It brings along a vibrant culture with an assorted menu.
The entrance of this Café itself brings positive vibes with its colorful ambience. This an apt place to chill with your friends as well as work without worrying about the battery as they have it all sorted for you. They also provide this space for meetings and workshops. The best part about this café is that they have a collection of more than 500 books and a perfect setting for book lovers as well as numerous board games to play with your friends/kids. It is rightly said by the owners, that Café Kathaa has something to offer for evereneccccgdfikjdlnckrrthibvvhrdiuehdfijhtlhlgb
yone.
I recently visited Café Kathaa and tried their all new breakfast menu. Whats the best thing about their breakfast menu? They serve it from 7 am till 11 am. Well, that’s perfect as I am a brunch person and my better half loves healthy breakfasts.

What I tried :

Smoothies :
Café Kathaa makes the smoothies in a very unique and healthier way. The smoothies contain home made yoghurt and the sweetener is not in the form of sugar,but honey. You will definitely have to visit the café atleast 3 times to be able to try them all. I personally recommend the Morning sunshine and the Green Apple and Spinach smoothie. The taste is well balanced with the flavours and it is a really good kickstart to your breakfast.

Omelettes :
The omelette section is vast and you have to really think before you order, because you might just want to try them all in one go. Starting with the masala omelette to perfecting the Turkish omelette, they have it all. The omelettes are mostly served along with a toast and some potatoes on the side.
My recommendations: Tex – Mex Omelette, Kathaa Jumbo Omelette, Turkish Omelette.
Kathaa Jumbo Omelette : I have to mention this one as it was one of the best cheese stuffed omelettes I’ve ever had. So this omelette is made of not 1,2, but 8 eggs! You might just want to skip lunch if you are having this all by yourself.

Parathas :
Café Kathaa has some really good options to offer in Parathas as well. I liked the Methi Matar Malai Paratha as well as the Classic Aloo Paratha.

Salads :

I am not really a salad person when it comes to it being included in the breakfast menu. So I would rather skip this the next time I visit for breakfast, but will surely be open to try the other options during lunch/dinner.

Pancakes :
I personally like to finish with some pancakes. Apart from the omelettes, they also have a wide variety of pancakes.
My recommendations : Beetroot Pancake served along with peppermint whip sugar and cinnamon dust and Devil’s advocate which is basically a double chocolate pancake.

Basically, Café Kathaa is a place where you can unwind on a lazy afternoon and also chill in the evenings. A perfect place to read, play games and also spend some time with your loved ones while you try their vast menu.

Definitely a nice place to hang out with your buddies and loved once. Ambience is really good. Prices are also slight on higher side as compare to the menu and tastes they are offering.They have a nice collection of books. So if you want to read a book over a sandwich or some pomegranate iced tea, head out to this place.

Cafe Kathaa, a quaint little cafe in the busy lanes of FC Road, is a delightful place and a haven for health freaks!

◼️AMBIENCE (4/5): The cafe feels lively, with the numerous plants and shrubs giving it a very natural vibe and thus clean air. The green color feels soothing to the eye and for once you feel closer to nature. The cafe features an indoor space as well,where you can cozy up with a book from the shelves and sip on your favorite beverage while rejoicing in the book and enjoying the beautiful ambience. It's silent and perfect for working professionals too, where they can unwind with a coffee and keep working, with complimentary Wi-Fi and charging. A novel concept executed wonderfully.

◼️FOOD (4/5): The cafe boasts of a very innovative menu and serves some really healthy and nutritious dishes and beverages.I had a myriad variety of things here and loved almost everything served.
🔺SMOOTHIES:
Prepared freshly with the best ingredients , the smoothies feel invigorating and rejuvenating.
🔷AVOCADO AND STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE: My personal favorite out of the ones I tasted and a good supplement of calcium, this felt fresh and sweet on the palate.
🔷GREEN APPLE & SPINACH SMOOTHIE: Green apple, spinach, mint and vanilla go into making this a very healthy option with added greens and lots of fibres. So if you don't like to eat leafy greens, just drink 2 tasty glasses of this and chill!
🔷TROPICAL SMOOTHIE:Papaya, pineapple, coconut and yogurt, an excellent source of vitamins and addictive in taste, this was a fantastic preparation.
🔷CAFE KATHAA WAKE UP SMOOTHIE: Wake up, wake up, wake up it's a brand new day! With goodness of Litchi, honey, watermelon and home made yogurt, this is the ideal way to kick-start your day on a high note.
🔷MORNING SUNSHINE: Mango, pineapple, mint, yogurt go into creating this amazing blend of happiness. This was again my top pick and one you can definitely go for!

🔺SALADS:
🔷GRILLED COTTAGE CHEESE AND MELON SALAD:A refreshing summer salad topped with gherkins, dressed in mint and almond dressing, this is for the health aficionados. The tender fresh veggies and cubes of juicy melon will give you instant energy!
🔷SMOKED PEPPER & PASTA SALAD:
This one consisted of smoked bellpeppers in penne pasta dressed with basil mayo and tasted delicious. The pasta felt a tiny bit undercooked but the overall taste was quite good.

🔺PANCAKES:
🔲SPROUTS PANCAKE: A combination of mixed sprouts, ginger, onion, and garlic, with a soft texture, this was a delight to savour.
🔲COCONUT AND AVOCADO: Coconut paired with the goodness of avocado and a hint of nutmeg, this is all health and no junk! One pancake is enough to make you full.
🔲ZUCCHINI AND CORN: Corn, zucchini with a scent of basil and good amount of cheese, the pancake felt nice and fluffy with the proper balance of flavors.
🔲BEETROOT PANCAKE: Pancake with beetroot twist, served with mint whip and cinnamon sugar, this heavenly pancake is a must for those who despise beetroot and thus are robbed of it's benefits.
🔲IRISH POTATO PANCAKE: Containing potato mash, buttermilk, a dash of nutmeg and seasoned to perfection, the pancake is a very unique one with a subtle taste and you'll devour it in no time.
🔲DEVIL'S ADVOCATE: A double chocolate pancake with generous amounts of chocolate sauce and drizzled with maple syrup, this was my favorite one. The pancake was soft, fluffy and an excellent preparation.

🔺PARATHAS
🔳PALAK PANEER PARATHA: Ultimate healthy combination of spinach and cottage
cheese in a paratha,the paratha was crisp and served with fresh curd and pickle. If you are someone who gorges upon parathas for breakfast, don't miss this!

🔳METHI MATAR MALAI PARATHA: Green and healthy, this paratha was stuffed with fenugreek, peas, and had a mildly spicy taste.

➡️Besides, the cafe also server a large variety of omelettes which you can choose from if you are here for breakfast.

◼️SERVICE (5/5): Absolutely top notch service by Nivedita and her hospitable team, they make sure to pamper you and take care of their guests pretty well.

◼️VALUE FOR MONEY (5/5): Serene and calm environment with green plants, cozy seating with free unlimited books and Wi-Fi, warm and friendly staff and a cool, diverse menu with amazing food, this is pure gold. And at the prices,a jackpot! I loved the experience and would be back for more.

The atmosphere here is just amazing, this place has a home-like vibe, and romantic at the same time. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in this area. The menu is not too diverse but the food is good. Would not recommend the coffee though, it tastes the same as what you would make at home. Would recommend the Bischoff cheesecake. The menu is reasonably priced for what you get. The staff are good, has no problem with them. The food came pretty quick.

I was here with my friends and we sat for a couple of hours, we had ordered ramen, cappuccino and some cold coffee along with a frappucino. The ambience was absolutely beautiful and felt Italian. I sat and sketched as well. The food was alright in terms of it's prices. Perfect for work, study, a casual date or a friendly meet-up.

I recently visited Cafe Katha a few weeks ago while charging my Ather bike. It's a great spot for book lovers, and their food is quite tasty. I particularly enjoyed their delicious hot chocolate. The ambiance is cozy and charming, with the cafe set in an old house and surrounded by trees, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Very decent place with tasty food and a pretty ambience. They have a variety of options to choose from. Also, this place is a kind of work-eat place. They have numerous books on display to read as well. Washrooms could be kept clean and hygienic.

Been here 4-5 times. Food and ambience is good but during the last visit a particular dish was completely tasteless and service was also not welcoming. Like they made us feel, eat and leave asap.. but this can be an exception otherwise my previous visits were very good.

Great Option in and around FC road; Has got. Both indoor and outdoor seating. A decent place to work from as it has plenty of seating and has complementary wifi. Excellent service. The fries and coffee were excellent although the pasta was average.

Great ambience, very peaceful silent place. It's a converted wada (without changing much) and that's what gives it the unique look and feel. Food quality is nice. I loved the shawarma, but found the Burrito bowl a bit odd. The rice was close to fried rice that hotels generally give, and the rice itself was too spicy along with the spicy salsa, so balancing elements were not present. Some tea options are nice, rather many elements from the menu are good. The berry drink is interesting, but very cold. Staff is good. One thing to note is that there's a dedicated smoking area right outside the place. Two wheeler parking is not a problem here. Don't know about cars though.

अन्नदाता शतायुषी भव: Starting with the concept, it is unique and very peaceful in the middle of a crowded town. Helps to maintain a good balance in eating and reading. . The collection of books at cafe is very genuine and seems like a common taste for all. You can just pick anyone and spend time reading with good food. . About food, it's not great. Very OK taste but portions of the food seemed lesser. Seems like more efforts are taken on the ambiance and book cafe concept, but not much on the kitchen area.

The ambience is good and they have books if you want to read and relax. Staff is good and friendly. Mojito was quiet sour but after adding sugarsyrup, it was just perfect.

The atmosphere was sooo good for the perfect evening. The food part only the starters were good for my orders. The pizza was not up to the mark we expected. Though the ambience has the hearts

Must visit this Aesthetically pleasing Cafe with peaceful Ambience!! 1. Ambience : It’s so aesthetic and peaceful. 2. Food : Food is good. 3. Service / Availability : Service can better & Faster. Availability of the items on the menu should be improved. Guava cooler wasn’t available when I visited. 4. Price : It’s average. Not very pricey, not very affordable. 5. Parking : There is some space available outside the Cafe. For 2 wheelers, it should not be issue.

The place is very good for hanging out. The food menu also shows a variety and tastes good too. The only problem we faced was mosquitoes. Too much of them. Should do something for that
