Our Story · Forest Cafe

From a Homestay to a Cafe

Nestled in the lush hills of Chikmagalur, Forest Cafe began as a dream — a dream to share the beauty of our coffee estate with the world.

What started as a humble Forest Homestay in 2018, welcoming travelers seeking peace among the ancient trees, slowly evolved into something more. Guests would often ask about the coffee they were served — its rich aroma, its deep flavor, its story. And we realized: the coffee itself was a story worth telling.

"Every cup of coffee tells a story — of misty mornings, of beans nurtured under the canopy, and of a family's dedication to the land."

In 2020, we opened the doors to Forest Cafe — a space where travelers, locals, and coffee lovers could come together to experience the true taste of Chikmagalur's coffee culture. Every bean we serve comes from our own estate, grown with love and harvested with care.

Today, Forest Cafe is more than a place to eat and drink. It's a gathering space, a celebration of nature, and a tribute to the simple joys of life — good coffee, good food, and good company.

"We wanted to create a place where the forest meets the table — where every bite and sip reminds you of the beauty of this land."

— Nuthan Gowda, Founder

We invite you to be a part of our story. Whether you're here for the specialty coffee, the homemade food, or simply the peaceful forest ambience — we promise you a warm welcome and an experience to remember.
