Tribes Coffee Opens First Flagship Café in Bengaluru, Showcasing India’s Tribal Coffee Heritage

 Bengaluru’s coffee scene just got a soulful upgrade. Tribes Coffee has officially opened its first flagship café in HSR Layout, introducing a concept that blends wild-grown tribal beans, curated global eats, and a strong social mission.

Founded on the idea of celebrating India’s indigenous communities, Tribes Coffee is the country’s first and only terroir-based coffee brand, offering brews that carry the essence of forests, mineral-rich soils, and tribal heritage. Each cup tells a story — rooted in generations of tradition and grown in harmony with nature.

To mark the opening, four tribal women from Nimmagedda, Andhra Pradesh — Seedarapu Gangamma, Buridi Asha Latha, Buridi Munisha, and Addakatla Gennu — were invited as chief guests. Honoured by the Prime Minister in 2022 for their work in sustainable tribal farming, these women represent the heart and soul behind the beans.

“With Tribes Coffee, we’re not just serving coffee — we’re offering a taste of untold stories,” shared Kiran Nerlige Gowda, Founder of Tribes Coffee. “This café is a tribute to the tribal women and communities who’ve nurtured India’s most distinct coffee in remote forests, often without recognition. We’re here to change that.”

At the core of the brand is a strong commitment to uplift tribal communities. Beans are procured directly from growers, ensuring fair pricing and authenticity. Moreover, 10% of annual profits are reinvested into these communities for education, healthcare, and cultural preservation.

“Urban health through tribal wealth is our mantra,” Gowda added. “Each cup contributes to their dignity, their joy, and their future. That’s our ultimate brew.”

The café spans 1,400 sq. ft., designed to reflect tribal aesthetics — with clay-toned walls, curved layouts, hand-painted murals, and boulder-inspired furniture. The space is both warm and artistic, echoing the spirit of tribal life and inviting guests into a sensory journey from bean to brew.

The menu features signature coffees from regions like Nimmagedda, Koraput, Araku Valley, Similiguda, Paderu, and Daringbadi, along with global dishes curated to complement the coffee without overpowering its distinct flavours.

Must-Try Coffee: Natural Embedded Flavoured Coffee
Must-Try Food: Mushroom & Truffle Zero Flour Pizza, Quinoa & Sweet Potato Veg Burger, Cold Egg Sandwich

Location: Tribes Coffee, 23rd Main, 22nd Cross Rd, HSR Layout, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560102
Opening Hours: 9 AM to 10.30 PM
