In recent years, Hyderabad has seen a subtle yet significant rise in cafes that promote art not just as decor but also as a form of therapy. These spaces encourage self-expression through painting, sketching, journaling, pottery and many more- offering visitors a calm escape from the chaos of everyday life.
Apart from allowing to indulge in self-expression, many of these cafes also host workshops, mindful sessions and networking events that foster emotional release and community bonding. What was once a niche idea is now steadily becoming a movement, especially among young creatives and working professionals seeking relaxing breaks between their hectic schedules.
So, whether you are looking to sketch your thoughts in a journal, sip a latte surrounded by paintings or simply soak in the indie vibes, Hyderabad has a handful of good options. Siasat.com takes a look at four such cafes that are revolutionizing the cafe culture of Hyderabad.
