Open Hand Cafe & Shop Varanasi

Coffee is very good and breakfast menu is also good and well priced. Nice place to sit and relax. I think it is the Best place in Assi area to have breakfast. I do definitely recommend this place. Although the lunch meals (like pasta or wraps) are just average.

This place is a very peaceful place to go and chill while eating or drinking something nice and reasonable price. In their shop they have lots of things with original prints (I guess that's why the price is kind of high). But anyways, they accept credit card for payment in both, the store and restaurant. I got this pretty original monkey from here, unique souvenir!

Comfort food at a comfort place with sinful muffins. Home like ambience with a lot of interesting merchandise on sale.

Do give the Cream Cheese Pasta & Dark Chocolate shake a try.

Comforting and quite place with good food and best coffee.This place is one of my favorites when i want to run away from hustle and chaos of the city.Also you can shop various handmade things here.

The cafe is situated in a very Peacefull colony. The board outside the cafe says "Good Coffee" and trust me, they aren't kidding.
You can also buy stuff like photographs, postcards, hippie kind of clothes.
This cafe is inside a home.. You'll get a very homely feeling.
The staff is very friendly. You'll have a good time here.

Really great. It was so beautiful. It felt very different what with the dining area and the shop were moulded in together. The shopping options were quite varied and the items were wonderful. The owner was very nice. I really liked the laid-back feel and the overall cool atmosphere of the place. I will definitely be visiting again to purchase knick-knacks and gorge on their delicious food.

P.S: The portions served were very generous.

The wake up juice ginger lemon Chili was just super good and fresh.
The Pancake apple crumble was delicious. The best in Varanasi.
And Super place to hang out

In close affinity to the famous ASSI GHAT of varanasi this small cozy café is situated. For refreshment post an exhaustive tourist trip of ghats this is a go to place. P.S. Especially for foreign tourists.
The snacks tastes good especially their bakery items, in particular the banana muffin. The ambience is really soothing and you wouldn’t know how time just passed.
Something unique about this café is that it has a wide range of handmade articles made by women suffering from certain disorder and the profit gained from selling these articles is used to help them.
Not at all overpriced so if you are in Varanasi, you must visit this place.

Best cappuccino in Varanasi. Very nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. I also had pancakes also very delicious. Will definitely visit again for the cake.

Decent place to spend your time. And good coffee though

Sit out on the balcony n enjoy the really good food n coffee here is great they call the french press a plunger coffee . Also the products on sale are cool!

Went on a recommendation. Wasn’t disappointed with the pasta and a big cup of cappuccino..

Totally in love with this place. Good place for breakfast and great coffee. Also amazing souvenirs to buy.

Such a wonderful little cafe and gift shop! They have breakfast and lunch and a great selection of desserts. I recommend the muesli for breakfast. The gift shop is throughout the cafe and it's all handmade items by women with disorders and the money goes to help them. It's a great cause and a very comfortable and clean atmosphere.

great place! Amazing good food. We were there for an early breakfast. Service was quick, Dishes were big. Enough to get full. Coffee was really good. The atmosphere is really chilled out there - they have free wifi. You have to take off shoes before getting in.

We had a Coffee Americano, Brownie and a Chicken Wrap. All super delicious. The place is very comfy and clean. Staff is very nice. Wifi is good. Prices are very reasonable. Had to take our shoes off when we entered.

Tables are dotted around the fair trade shop in different little areas, along with a row of 2-tops along a balcony. The vibe is shoes off & comfortable; it’s a great place to chill away from the noise of Varanasi and enjoy a really nice breakfast. Also a good spot to set up with a laptop and work. Coffee is the BEST I had in Varanasi, no competition, and top 3 so far for the last 6 months in India.

Opens at 7.30am and they make an excellent Espresso Coffee. They have tables on a balcony where you can enjoy a cigarette with your coffee. Also a good range of food and handmade items made ethically supporting small businesd

Nice cosy hangout near Assi Ghat. Great coffee and a very pleasant owner. Nice shop with unique gifts to browse through. Felt like a safe haven amidst chaos.

Great food and great vibes. A place to seat and calm from the city rush. You'll get both Indian an westren food and the best coffee in Varanasi. The place also have a shop for very nice cloths and other stuff
