Finding a cafe or community where you can express yourself and meet a community of artists? The Orange, Art and Book Cafe has got you covered. Located in Aundh, this Cafe, with its expansive studio space and stage, is the perfect place in Pune for artists from all performing arts to express themselves.

The Orange, Art and book cafe is more than just a place to eat and drink; it’s an activity space, an art hub, and a community space. Furthermore, this lively café, now nine months old, has quickly become a beloved community hub, blending culinary delights with artistic endeavours.

The studio

The cafe is attached to a unique studio with a stage where patrons can sing, dance, laugh, and immerse themselves in a creative atmosphere. The studio houses many events ranging from dance classes, plays, open mics, stand-up comedy, French movie screenings, vinyl listening sessions, Sufi concerts, and more.

Moreover, they also hosts their very own book club. The owners have a personal connection to the café, filling it with passion and creativity. They aim to foster a sense of community, giving young artists a platform to showcase their talents.

A haven for creativity

The owners, Sneha and Sumedh, are artists in their own right—Sneha, a trained Kathak dancer, and Sumedh, a thespian. Moreover, their passion for the arts shines through in every meticulously designed corner of the café. They envisioned a space where they would love to spend hours too. This is what makes this café a true haven for creativity and expression.

The cafe’s aesthetic

I found the café’s atmosphere both lively and inviting, with a home-like terrace that instantly makes you feel at ease. Additionally, the space is adorned with plants, creepers, and fairy lights, creating a cosy and enchanting minimalist environment.

Moreover, as you sip your coffee, you can enjoy the soothing sounds of amazing Spanish music from the owners’ personal playlist, adding a touch of European charm. The cafe also boasts a crazy book collection where you will find everything from comics to the classics.

My experience with The Orange, Art and Book Cafe

The Orange, Art and Book Cafe is a home away from home for artists all over Pune. I personally spent hours here just sitting and soaking up the music while admiring the Kathak class. After spending some time in the cafe I felt like I made a personal connection with the cafe, as within two hours, I booked my ticket for their next event! I also tried their tiramisu espresso cocktail, which is simply a must-try. Additionally, made without any artificial essence, it is a standout, offering a rich and indulgent flavour that’s simply unforgettable.

The Orange, Art and Book Cafe is more than just a cafe; it’s an experience that satiates the soul. An informal social space, this cafe is far from bland and bleak. This cafe is a refreshing sight where thoughts and art are appreciated above all else. Anyone can truly be inspired and at peace here, as the cafe’s interiors, people, books, and space are ideal to foster creativity. The cafe promises a memorable visit that goes beyond the ordinary and will have patrons reminiscing about their time here.
