    What an amazing little gem of a cafe this is. Café Arpan is Mumbai's first cafe that solely employs adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities (PWDDs). The café is serviced by a team of 14 specially-abled adults, supported by a manager and kitchen assistant. I loved the entire concept and the noble cause behind this cafe. The quality of the food is amazing and the service is brilliant. You will love the energy and the vibe of the place This surely will be mine regular cafe to visit going forward. Keep up the Good work guys !!!

    Cafe Arpan is a pure gem situated opposite the SNDT Women's University in Juhu. This café is run by those individuals at Yash Charitable Trust who are differently-abled.' Initially, they started the Dabba service and after a massive hit of that, they opened their 1st cafe. A big salute to Yash Charitable Trust for this initiative. All the safety and sanitisation protocols are being followed here. Apart from this, the cafe serves delicious healthy food. We had: Mexican Bhel Grilled Paneer Sandwich Hot Chocolate Cafe Arpan Sol Salad Cheesecake Finally, a big thumbs up to all the people working behind this NGO.

    Cafe Arpan is a small cute place that appointments handicapped people suffering from down syndrome or autism as staff. They train them to cook amd serve. We visited them on my son's birthday and had a great time there. They Sang for him. We tried mushroom toast, brownie, hummus and more. The food was yummy. One must definitely visit this place.

    A quaint small place. Friendly staff. Nice ambiance. Scrumptious food prepared by our very own differently abled friends who also help you through each step of your dining experience. Lovely time spent dining here. Must visit atleast once. They also do delivery over Zomato. Heads up: They also supply tiffins prepared in-house.

    Cafe Arpan Was so happy to plan my visit to this quaint cute cafe in Juhu. So mainly, Cafe Arpan is run by a charitable trust as the entire staff of this cafe is differently challenged. The revenue generated from this cafe goes towards the livelihood of the specially challenged individuals that work here. The breads, beverages, desserts and everything on the menu is made by them in-house and believe me it was delicious. The portions are small but the menu is very decently priced The interiors are cute and it was really great being here. I would insist you guys to visit Cafe Arpan and support their cause.

    A nice neat place with clean lines pleasant colours and a great concept of inclusiveness! Run by a trust . Also they use their own vegetables ! The cafe has differently enabled folks welcoming and serving you simple and delicious food Recommend the cheese balls ( five in a plate) And the Airport style cheese toast Served on paper plates ... saves on the washing up I guess Prices are reasonable and much less than that if your average coffee shop! The menu is limited but do stop by ! Must visit for its charm

😠 Extremely EXTREMELY crowded. Those waiting can start by scoring some vit D outside and slowly sweat their way to the damp of about 300 diners inside, letting off steam under the first fans Bombay saw in the 60's (50's or 70's??). If your group numbers less or greater than 4, get ready to adjust like...
