You never really think your go-to café will shut shop. Until it does. The Homemade Café & Bar, that warm corner in Mumbai’s Andheri that somehow made every meal feel like a hug, has officially announced that it will be closing soon. And if your stomach sank reading that, you’re not alone.
Andheri’s The Homemade Café Bids Goodbye

Their farewell post showed they were just as sad about the cafe’s closure as we were. Sharing a series of pictures on Instagram, they bid goodbye to their patrons and said, “We’re leaving the place behind, but not the soul. That’s coming with us”
The post was a gentle reminder about how this place wasn’t just about pancakes and pasta. Homemade Café was a kind of place where breakups were softened with wine, ideas were scribbled on napkins, and gossip spilt itself over fresh cups of coffee.
As the Instagram post said, “It holds your secrets. Your slow mornings & loud birthdays. It held you.”
The cafe had no pretentious plating or industrial décor. It just served soul-warming food, loudly and proudly. Their nachos, with a tangy touch, oozing broccoli and cheese peppers and a breakfast menu that could lift any mood, would be widely missed. It’s rare to find a place that doesn’t just feed you, but holds a space for you, and Homemade Café did exactly that.
Wait, Is There A New Chapter?
But wait, this can’t be the end, right? The good news is that it isn’t, and the people at Homemade Café said so themselves. “We will see you soon. Thank you for all the love,” the Instagram post read.
Though no official address or date has been revealed for the new opening, they have hinted at the café’s comeback. This subtle hint was enough to provide relief to all the foodies in the city. Homemade Café is definitely cooking something up, and it’s likely to be just as full of heart as the previous one.
Till then, we wait for it to come back, stronger, maybe in a new avatar, but with the same fervour, the same love, and hopefully, the same avocado salads!
