Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 17: What started in 2017 as a passion project between two close friends, Imtiaz and Haseeb, is today one of Bangalore’s most loved café concepts — Chaska Bun. Born out of a simple yet powerful idea, Chaska Bun set out to bridge a glaring gap in the city’s café scene: the lack of value-for-money options that didn’t compromise on taste or quality.
Rooted in Koramangala, Chaska Bun quickly won hearts with its honest food and soul-warming beverages. With a menu that champions quality ingredients — like Darjeeling-sourced tea leaves and 70% whole wheat buns made from ITC’s Aashirvaad Atta — the café has become a go-to hangout for Bangaloreans craving comfort food done right.
A major part of that comfort comes from their made-to-order chai, crafted fresh for every customer. Whether it’s a bold Ginger Chai, aromatic Elaichi Chai, zesty Lemon Tea, or the ever-popular Masala Chai, each cup is brewed with care, using premium tea leaves and custom spice blends. It’s the kind of tea that’s more than just a drink — it’s an experience.
At the heart of the brand is its signature Bun Maska, a nostalgic classic elevated by thoughtful ingredients and perfect execution. The Chaska Bun Dhamaka — the brand’s cheeky take on desi burgers — comes in paneer and chicken variants, and has quickly become a fan favorite. Other highlights include their variety of house-made toasts, eggs, samosas, samosa chaat, and unique treats like Ragi Flour Cookies, Coconut Cookies, and rich slices of Carrot & Dates and Banana Walnut Cake. To wash it all down? A cooling glass of Nannari, a speciality herbal drink from Kerala, apart from a range of seasonal cold beverage options like Iced Teas, Fresh Lime Sodas and more.
From a single café to now over five thriving locations across Bangalore — including AECS Layout, Bannerghatta Road, Electronics City, and the always buzzing HSR Layout — Chaska Bun has grown steadily while keeping true to its roots. The brand remains fully company-owned and operated, with plans to expand into five new locations this year, reinforcing its commitment to quality, consistency, and community.
“Our goal has always been simple,” says co-founder Haseeb. “To serve food that we’d proudly eat ourselves, at prices that make sense to everyone.” Adds Imtiaz, “We’re not just selling chai and buns — we’re creating an experience that feels familiar yet special.”
With its warm, welcoming spaces and a menu full of crowd-pleasers, Chaska Bun continues to be a refreshing presence in Bangalore’s bustling café culture.
