I will recommend the place especially to readers, artists and anyone who wants a home like feel outside. The crowd is majorly youngsters and a few middle aged artists or readers. I would not mind being there all day long doing my own thing. The owner is a nice lady and knows what she is doing. The only thing that was a little discomforting was the absence of air conditioning. Considering the fact that Pune heat is no joke, they might want to think of installing one as coolers will only make the place warm n humid as its small with not much ventilation.
The collection of books is very good there... Veg Maggi was also good . Sitting arrangements were not upto the mark..also the fan was only working at one side of the cafe so have to sat there. Apart from that everything was good.
Ohh this place is just like my kinda place ..books and chai amazing combination... And they serve good snacks as well.. The place is full off books where u can sit peacefully and enjoy your reading with there daily offers.... A must visit place
A good place for tea loving kitabi keedas (a dieing breed).You have 99 shelfs to choose from.
They have Mirza Gaalib , Dan Brown & Potter too...
Aao chalo chaai ki chuskiyo paar gaalib ki chand oanktiya padhi jaaye...
PS:Leave your shoes at the door. Its a footware free zone.
Chill place in nibm are, can definately see myself coming here again and again. Loved the ambience and collection of books. The owners / the counter people are really nice.
The sandwiches are decent enough. Not worth 110 bucks each. They have membership too you can rent the books too!! Loved it.

When it comes to a book cafe its all about vibes..
This place gives perfect vibes where a person who is fond of books can spend hours and hours.
Also the food is tasty and delicious ..
With amazing coffee..
Been here for the first time and i am already in love with this place..
Book lovers really need to visit this place giving an escape from the city chaos.
MUST VISIT!!! Super friendly staff, delicious food, great ambience and a ton of books!!! (And the best part : no one pokes you for sitting too long!!) Big thumbs up to kitabi chai!!!
Sip, Sit, Read and Relax are all what you should be aiming while you are visiting this newly opened cafe as the name suggests ‘Kitabi Chai’, you’ll find diverse collection of books and for all the Chai lovers out there, they serve variety of chai’s too(5 to 7 types). The price of chai starts from 30 rs upto 50 rs. Also, the free wifi can make you forget half of your life problems.
If you are someone who gets recharged by the ambience of a place, i would recommend you to definitely add this one in your visit list.
It's a beautiful place. Loved the warmth that exists so naturally because of the variety of books. This place seems like a safe place for just some quiet time with self or work or reading. I tried the veg sandwich which was delicious.
Look forward to spending more time and savouring more delicacies super soon!

It's a pity I can't rate this anything more than 5 stars. This cafe is a dream come true. The books are amazing and the collection is varied, so there's something for everyone. They're definitely the hero of the place. The seating is adequate, and the low seating leaves an open, slightly bohemian vibe.
The food is reasonably ppriced.The Maggi is incredible. You have to try it. Rinku, their Maggi and sandwich expert, clearly lavishes immense love on it. My problem now is that I don't think I can eat Maggi at home anymore, knowing how amazing it can be! The veg cheese sandwich was also eminently repeatable. The masala chai is nice and strong, if that's how you like it! The lemon chai is also a refreshing end to the meal.
The view from the giant windows is just verdant rolling hills and the tops of the trees along the road. Peaceful, with adequate plug points, this is going to be my go-to work cafe. There is no AC, but the natural breeze really really lifts your mood. I'm so glad this awesome cafe exists!
Start with saying, I fell in Love. I absolutely adore this place, for the way it is, it calls upon your heart to allure you into its embracing bosom..
All you feel like doing is, sipping on your amazing coffee while peeping into the book you love, all along getting the mixed smell of a new book and coffee.
Relaxing over the lovely white leather couch, being in peace with oneself, while admiring the well thought out and smile provoking decor, all along loosing the track of time..
A bliss for book cafe lovers out there.
Perfect place for relaxation and chilling out with friends and family. Budget friendly menu and really awesome sandwiches and chai.. a great collection of novels and books
This place has a beautiful ambience amidst all the books and a sweet smell of tea!
I just came across this place yesterday and i am really thankful that i thought of visiting this place! The food here is amazing too!

I will surely suggest visiting this place atleast once... you wouldnt regret☺️
I was on the hunt for a good cozy book cafe and I have found it! I spent an hour here just reading my book. It is a lovely place to hangout with your friends, work or go on a solo date.
Highly recommend this cafe to anyone but especially to book lovers who like to spend a little me time in a cozy environment other than home. Very comforting food as well. I ordered Veg Grilled and Chai, yummy food!
I recently had a delightful experience at this cafe! The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and exquisite tea made my visit truly enjoyable. The attention to detail in both service and presentation is commendable. I highly recommend trying their signature lemon tea – it's a perfect blend of quality and flavour.It’s a pet friendly cafe and the owner is very sweet. This cafe has earned its 5-star rating, and I'll certainly be returning for more delightful moments.
This is a super amazing hangout located at Marvel Sangria NIBM road. The book collection, setup and specially the sitting is just wow. One feels aways from the chorus of city once they are here reading their favorite book and sipping some amazing coffee. The best thing is they have completely affordable pricing. Visit to Banta Hai 😊
The perfect place for everyone from bibliophiles to people who want to get into reading. Nice decor, cozy atmosphere and good food. (Books are a given!)
Must visit place for book worms. They have a small food menu so you can munch on while reading from their collection. They have a good collection of books there and along with it they also have few games if you are interested in along with your buddy.
Although I was wish they could keep more options in food menu, but would still suggest to visit if you want to read.
A perfect place to have a date with your books. :) Cozy wonderful place, i have ever been in! The collection of books is amazing, you name it , they have it !! The owners are delightful people, with immense knowledge and always eager to help and suggest good books. And they do everything to make you comfortable. Food is delicious too :) This place is a blessing for book lovers.

A cozy little place for chai lovers and book lovers alike. The books span across several genres from children's books to non-fiction, from horror to Hindi classics.
The food menu is limited (all veg) but literally everything I've tried so far has been delicious. Do try the "Veg Cheese Maggi" that has oodles of butter and coriander; it's so good that you might not be able to go back to regular Maggi! The chais and coffees are also excellent; the lemon tea (black lemon tea reminiscent of Kerala chai) and the super-strong masala chai are recommended.
There's a little something for everyone in this hidden gem :)
If you looking for one stop shop for all the vibes, Kitabi Chai is the place. With stand-up comedy events, Music events, story telling, travel bloggers, Content writers. People coming from different background. Its complete fun. The chef Vishal makes awesome Maggie. The owner Geetika, also referred as Geetu di or Geets, is the most humble host I've ever met. She is super friendly. She is an avid reader herself. Kitabi Chai is my next home. I'm glad I found the place 💖
It was hard to find, but it is such a nice space! So many books to choose from, and I had the adrak chai on a rainy evening that was really a blessing. Will be going there again.

Wonderful place to relax and read, if u get hungry have some quick bites, lots and lots of books, one can work as well. Ample parking available outside. The host is a book lover and one can chat about the books and authors.
Received my book today. Loved the services. Thankyou soo much Kitabi Chai. Guys do visit, this place is really cool and amazing . A place where you can have a sip of tea and read books of your favourite authors ... Thanks again guys 😇
There are hardly any places that help you redifine your faith in destiny. This is one such hub. Books, people, conversations and all with a side of evening tea! It’s not much to begin with, small quaint space with books everywhere your eyes can reach. When you enter, you are greeted by a very cheerful soul, Geet! She has created something pure, the energy, the vibe and the aura of this place is surreal. So much so that I was in the city for 5 days and visited 6 times!! There are a lot of regulars who have made this space homelike and cozy… Would highly recommend!! Personally, I can’t wait to go back again!! Soon KC :)
In love with this place....it keeps growing on me. I've been coming here for one week now to work & enjoy the joy of reading. Environment is quite suitable for anyone who is WFH & looking for a change of scenery, other than their home. Food prices are reasonable as well. The charges are 100 for three hours, just sitting, reading, or working, apart from food.
This place and people over here are truly amazing and outstanding. The ambience of this place is otherworldly, this place feels like home, the crowd of the cafe is very friendly and the owner is a very lovely lady, this place get's you addicted to chai, food, book's and knowledge <3
A home away from home !

It's raining.... Yet you struggle to get here to have a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy your favourite book whilst gazing at rains.... Life is good !
Where should I start to share my experience and memories about this place, been a regular visitor you can say Second home for me, where you have such friendly vibe created by owner Gitika such a pleasant personality and friendly with everyone.
For me this place has everything like workspace to do your work or studies, chill with your friends and can meet lot of new young and all age people who can become friends and of course lot of books from all range and interest areas if you like to read or don't you will surely start reading. Food here is awesome and has lot of varieties to choose from specially I like hot/cold coffee and tea here. You should must try Indore Poha here.
If you are around then don't miss to drop by and enjoy your time....:)
