Yummy Bee, India’s first chain of cafés dedicated to healthy dining, entred into Bengaluru’s highly competitive outdoor dining market by launching three stores. The three stores are located on Hosur Sarjapur Road (HSR) in the city’s southeast, J P Nagar in the city’s south and in Koramangala, the city’s IT hub in the southeast.
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.”
Each store is spread over an area of 1,800 sq ft and offers both take-away as well as sit-in options. They will feature Yummy Bee’s signature desserts, such as sugar-free double chocolate brownies, san sebastian cheesecake, blueberry cheesecake and chocolate truffle pastry plus beverages such as milkshakes, bobba teas, coffee and even mocktails.
The food menu has also been thoughtfully curated, featuring all-time favourites like millet-crust pizzas, pastas and sourdough bread, all reimagined with healthier ingredients such as millets and oats flour.
Explaining the rationale for focusing on healthy ingredients, Jangala said, “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.”
The company, which had received funding to the tune of Rs 18 crore for its expansion into Bengaluru, has already invested Rs 4 crore in setting up these three cafés, along with a production facility. By the end of the current fiscal, it expects revenues from its Bengaluru operations to match those from its cafés in Hyderabad.
