Chow Chow Bath, Coffee ☕ And Community: The Inspiring Story of Mysuru’s CCBC Café 🍽️
At an age and stage where most consider retirement options, Mr. Murthy, an engineer by profession, and his homemaker wife, Mrs. Vani, took the plunge. They set out five years ago in a compact, eight-by-ten feet space to serve simple, homely tiffin fare in Mysuru.
Over time, their menu has sparingly increased and so has the space. But what is most fascinating is the manner in which this warming café has come to be a space where folks visit not only for the nourishment of food, but more importantly, to be part of a thriving local community where everyone feels welcome. Join me as I dive into the simple, hearty fare at CCBC Café and seek inspiration from the wonderful couple behind this heartwarming enterprise.

Nice. Cafe. From Telangana
Very true. This is the best cafe we have ever tasted and my favorite too. ❤. Thanks kripal amanna for visiting namma mysuru.
South Indian flavours sumptuous
Kripal ji, you're king! Just watching this episode is such a homely affair! Great food can be such a key, elevating element in homeliness! Loved the feel of this episode, paaji! God bless!!
Sir, this is one of the best episodes I've ever seen. Not just because you make great content, but because the customer made this video the best of the best. It was truly outstanding!
Best wishes to Vani and Murthy on their loving enterprise ❤ and to you Kripal for throwing light on this unique venture..
Amazing video sir. Love from Canada
I am expecting million views for this video ❤
Praise beyond words.
❤
Rates are RIDICULOUS. Self service ? Are these rates after gulf war ?
Such businesses have DESTROYED BANGALORE and now they are DESTROYING MYSORE. 😢
ಉಪ್ಪಿಟು!
Very nice
This is one place that we frequent and take out guests consistently. Raagi Dose is my favorite. You don't feel full and drowsy after eating here.. that should settle it.
Have been a long time ardent follower of "Food Lovers TV" channel. Kripal Sir describes the food at any eatery in such a masterly manner with his impeccable English. He makes his viewers virtually taste the food with his just the right description. His synergy with the owners of the eateries he reviews, the staff and the people eating there is so marvelous.
This particular episode is special. So impressed by Mrs. Vani and Mr. Murthy's passion to excel. Their hands on approach proves their dedication. Starting with a passion project in senior years and making it so popular proves that age is just a number. The place certainly must be having homely, simple yet tasty food. Last but not the least, their daughter has designed the restaurant interiors so nicely. The place has so cheerful and positive vibes . All the best wishes to Kripal Sir, his team and the CCBC team.
Excellent restaurant ಸರ್….it' is more than a restaurant…very very friendly owner always smiling .,gives what customer needs…eat first & pay later is the principle
funny. I'm drinking right now from exact same type of glass cup sitting in one of the northernmost city on earth.
