✦ About Us ✦
From Forest Homestay to Cafe
Forest Cafe is born from a deep love for nature and a passion for authentic coffee. What started as a warm homestay in the heart of Chikmagalur has blossomed into a cafe that celebrates the rich coffee heritage of our own estate.
Every cup tells a story — of misty mornings, of beans nurtured under the canopy of ancient trees, and of a family's dedication to sharing the true taste of Chikmagalur's coffee with the world.
We believe in sustainability, community, and the simple joy of a perfect brew. Our cafe is a reflection of the land we love — warm, welcoming, and deeply rooted in nature.
Nuthan Gowda
Founder & Visionary
Nuthan Gowda started this journey with a simple vision — to transform the Forest Homestay experience into a cafe that captures the essence of Chikmagalur's coffee culture.
With a deep connection to the land and a commitment to authenticity, every detail at Forest Cafe reflects the warmth of a homestay and the excellence of estate-grown coffee.
