Restaurant India News: ‘Yummy Bee’ Expands in Bengaluru With Three New Outlets

Yummy Bee, India’s first café chain focused on healthy dining, has entered Bengaluru by opening three outlets in key locations — HSR Layout, JP Nagar and Koramangala. 

Each café spans about 1,800 sq ft and offers both dine-in and takeaway services. The outlets serve Yummy Bee’s popular sugar-free desserts, including Double Chocolate Brownies, San Sebastian Cheesecake, Blueberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Truffle Pastry, along with beverages such as milkshakes, bobba teas, coffee and mocktails.

The food menu includes healthier versions of favourites like pizzas, pastas and sourdough bread, made using ingredients such as millets and oats flour. Yummy Bee has invested Rs 4 crore in setting up the three cafés and a production facility in the city, as part of its Rs 18 crore expansion plan. The company expects Bengaluru revenues to match its Hyderabad operations by the end of the current financial year.

Speaking at the launch, Sandeep Jangala, Founder of Yummy Bee, said, “The young urban professionals in Bengaluru and those looking for healthy dining out options, now have a place to call their own. These three Yummy Bee cafes are just the beginning and we will be adding another five over the next three months. We remain committed to offering sugar-free, maida/gluten-free and preservative-free healthier snacks and desserts, which have been a huge hit in Hyderabad.”

Explaining the rationale for focusing on healthy ingredients, Jangala added, “There is a growing shift the world over towards healthy eating, especially in a post-pandemic world. The Indian consumer too wants to enjoy eating out but without the guilt or remorse of indulging in unhealthy food. We at Yummy Bee believe that Bengaluru has always been a trendsetter when it comes to dining out, largely due to its cosmopolitan outlook where most of the working population has travelled at least once overseas and as such, are aware that healthy eating out options exist.”
