Worth it! The food was great, ambiance is amazing. Their staff are very friendly with the right food and drink recommendations. Worth it for a good cause to help street children, where they're even trying to get them their own houses. A must try if...you're in Mumbai, and help them wherever possible.More

Hidden Gem in the heart of Marol. The greenery provides an oasis in the heart of this crazy city & the library adds a lovely touch. Staff are excellent, food is good & the underlying spirit of the place is wonderful. A wonderful place to...meet friends or sit and watch the world go by.More

I was looking for a nice place for some business meetings. I found Bombay to Barcelona Library Cafe and prefer it over other cafes. It has great food and excellent service too. The social angle is the icing on the cake! The location is correct...on Google Maps but you are likely to miss it!More

Was looking for a decent bakery before going back to the airport. Lucked out. Super lovely place Bombay to Barcelona Library Cafe. Set up to help street kids this lovely cafe is quirkily decorated. The staff were super friendly. And the food is great, really...good savoury crepe, great coffee and gooey baked desserts... If you're near Mumbai Airport or just in Mumbai give it a try .... A good cause but it stands alone on the quality of the food and service. Excellent.More

The best place in Bombay for me. Great choice of food, all local and organic, great quality and flavors… and the best staff. Make sure you asks for Amin, Kushboo or anyone around to tell you the story of the cafe. A MUST place in...Bombay. Breakfast, lunch, dinner… any excuse is good. Just a coffee or a chia too :)More

It’s an awesome food place. The food- The waiter insisted on having the baigan bharta sandwich. I was very sceptical… BUT I LOVED IT!! It was so soft and smooth… never had anything like that before!! It’s a must try, I would say! The pull...it off bun is also very yummy! They can do better with the carrot cake though. My friends had sabudana khichdi and creamy mushroom crepe and both were equally delicious! The cafe has a very interesting story behind it. Do talk to the owners or the staff to know. Ambience- They have a rack full of books to read from and interesting drinks on the menu… so just take a book and chill. The decor is very aesthetic. Staff- They are very sweet and full of warmth. It was so lovely to be there. I want to go there real soon!! 😊More

Long time back, about 3 years ago I met Amin Sheikh in Goa where I was listening to a talk he gave. Impressed I followed him through social media and today finally I could make it to see in person what a great job this...team is doing. Much more than food, the experience, the smile of all the people, the attention and the happiness they spread is blam for every clients soul.

It seems to me any place with offers its visitors books, should be called special place. Its got a very tasty food (vegetarian as well), real nice coffee, especially cappuccino n of course delicious desserts. If you can't eat very spicy food , you'll be...heard by Sabiya and the dish would be adjusted. I bought an astonishing queen silky dress from Kushboo. However this is the place where people care for people which differs this cafe from thousands others. Strictly recommend. Thank you, Amin and all your big family💞🌿🙏More

This is a unique place in the city. They offer delicious, fresh and high-quality food. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I also got fascinated with the story behind the Café. The owner, Amin Sheikh, was a street children who changed his life. Now...he is changing other street children’s lives by offering them the opportunity to finding a job and to studying. Amin is usually at the café, so is great to have the opportunity to chat with him and discover more about the project “Bombay to Barcelona”. It really worths a visit.More

Worth a trip down to Marol to this quaint but spacious cafe which is beautifully homely with extra helpful and extremely courteous staff. The owners have a very Spanish influence over their food. The chicken lasagne was too good which was washed down with a...Malta orange mojito (non alcoholic). Ended my visit on a sweet note with some yummy churros. All in all, this place is exquisito.More

My mother and I had lunch at the Café today and it was delicious. I had Spaghetti with vegetables and pink sauce and my mother had Pasta alfredo. The sauce is homemade and the vegetables were fresh- it tasted great. Also the Café Bonbon (a...spanish speciality) and the homemade cake is definitely something you should try!
