Beige by 5th Gear Pilates Opens New Café in Four Bungalows, Andheri

Beige by 5th Gear Pilates, founded by Dhavall Mehta and Sunil Sharma, will open its second outlet in Four Bungalows, Andheri, on October 11, 2026. The 570 sq ft café will expand the brand beyond its first beverage-focused outlet in Kandivali.

The new location will offer specialty coffee, food, matcha and smoothies, with an all-day menu covering breakfast, brunch and lighter meal options. The café will operate as a standalone neighbourhood outlet while remaining linked to the 5th Gear Pilates ecosystem.

“Beige started with something we were already seeing within our community. People didn't want to rush out after class; they wanted to sit down, have coffee, eat something and spend time together. That made us think about what the experience could look like beyond the studio. Beige is our way of bringing movement, food, coffee and community into the same everyday rhythm,” says Dhavall Mehta, Co-Founder, Beige by 5th Gear Pilates.

The coffee programme uses Indian-grown coffee cultivated at an elevation of approximately 1,350 metres and roasted to a medium-dark profile, with chocolate and roasted almond notes. The menu includes espresso-based beverages, pour-over/filter coffee, siphon and French Press.

Food options include Eggs Benedict, Turkish Eggs, Avocado Toast, wraps, sandwiches, salads, bowls, chia bowls, smoothies and acai bowls. The menu also features Roasted Pumpkin & Burrata, Mediterranean Chickpea & Feta, Crispy Tofu & Asian Greens, Grilled Chicken & Avocado and Mexican Bowl, along with croissants, pancakes, cookies and tiramisu.

The beverage menu includes Coconut Cloud Coffee, Coconut Cloud Matcha and Coconut Cloud Ube, as well as Rose Coffee, Berry Bloom Americano, Tonic Blush Matcha, Mango Matcha and Iced Espresso Ube. Matcha is sourced from Shizuoka, Japan. Smoothie options include Berry Glow, Mango Smoothie and Acai Powerhouse.

“There’s a tendency to make wellness feel prescriptive, with a set of rules around how you should eat, move or live. We wanted Beige to feel much more natural than that. You can come in after Pilates, meet a friend over coffee, grab a smoothie or simply spend some time here. With ‘Your Neighbourhood Ritual’, the idea is to create a place that naturally becomes part of your everyday routine, a space you return to because you enjoy being here, not because you have to ,” says Sunil Sharma, Co-Founder, Beige by 5th Gear Pilates.

The Andheri outlet uses neutral tones, natural textures, clean lines and warm detailing. The space is designed to accommodate different daytime occasions, including post-workout visits, coffee runs, breakfast meetings, matcha breaks and casual gatherings.

The Four Bungalows opening marks the brand’s expansion from Kandivali into another Mumbai neighbourhood, while extending the 5th Gear Pilates ecosystem into a café format serving both Pilates customers and the wider local community.
