Temple Cafés & Heritage Bistros: Where Food Meets Faith

India's temple towns have long been a magnet for pilgrims, spiritual travelers, and the curious searching for the unknown. Now there's a budding microtrend reconceptualizing these sacred pilgrimages: temple cafés and heritage bistros—cafés mere footsteps from shrines, often in heritage-retrofitted homes or temple courtyards.

They're not coffee houses. They're local culture institutions with mindful food, peaceful design, and neighborhood legend—offering an easy flip between temple visiting and soul seeking.
