Cafe Arpan is a pure gem situated opposite the SNDT Womens 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 BhelGrilled Paneer SandwichHot ChocolateCafe Arpan Sol SaladCheesecakeFinally, a big thumbs up to all the people working behind this NGO.

Cafe ArpanWas 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 pricedThe interiors are cute and it was really great being here.I would insist you guys to visit Cafe Arpan and support their cause.

Lunch yesterday with friends at Cafe Arpan Juhu; such a pleasant experience. The staff were helpful & eager to serve; that they were also specially-abled did not in any way slow down the service. The cafe is tiny, very cheerful, the food quite delicious. We had wraps, sandwiches, and pasta, all well prepared and tasty. The cafe is managed by Yash Charitable Trust.

A Cafe like no other. Created and served with a special touch by the differently-abled! One of a kind experience. Tried some mouthwatering eateries in office - Falafel Salad, Mexican Bhel and Chocolate Cupcake.Falafel Salad is fresh veggies with falafel nuggets with hummus dressing. Mexican Bhel is a unqiue twist to the our regular bhel Puri, do note it is vegan and gluten-free. So do try this out.

What a beautiful place! What a beautiful cause! This place is run by the autistic bunch of hard working people. From the serving staff to the kitchen staff, most of them are autistic. But nothing is stopping them. Its a joy visiting this place. Nice food. A lil expensive for three quantity they serve, but then the happiness is invaluable.

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 foodRecommend the cheese balls ( five in a plate)And the Airport style cheese toastServed on paper plates ... saves on the washing up I guessPrices 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

This is not only a café. Its where you ponder over how very fortunate you are and that you should not take it for granted and work towards making life easier for fellow humans.GOD will shower his blessings over you even more if you skip a visit to the temple and visit this temple of HIS special children.

How can one not appreciate a cafe thats not just a cafe but a cause?! Arpan is a darpan to the potential of autistic persons and dismantles our perceptions about their abilities - a great deal! A must visit for various reasons - (1) Support employment for autistic contemporaries and witness their talent first hand (2) Understand the concept of autism and accept it without prejudices (3) Learn to cook if you are not autistic because if they can learn a survival skill, any one can! and (4) Their peach iced tea was the best I have ever tasted! The Greek salad was very refreshing! The filter coffee was just right too! The hummus was nicely done though the pita bread could be paid more attention to. I missed a bit of a fluff and softness to it (but that was well compensated by Samvits and Aarti Nagarkars soft hearted gestures! :)). The colourful casual interiors could be a treat for sore eyes any day and Sushma, the co-trustee, was warm and welcoming and added a nice conversational vibrancy to our visit. Here, one feels served for the stomach and for the soul! :)

I happened to go thro’ the Vedio about your cafe posted by my friends in WhatsApp. Tears in my eyes . When the whole world is after the Materials world , which is temporary , you are doing a marvelous job of running a cafe with differently abled persons to make them feel independent in their life by engaging, giving courage & training. No words . You are dong real seva to God. I bless you to Continue this for ever .I will visit you when I Come to Mumbai .God Bless you .KrishnamoorthyBangalore

A beautiful Cafe at Juhu, Arpan is Mumbai’s first and only café that is primarily run by adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. From their servers, persons in charge of chopping vegetables, handling beverages, managing the billing counter, baking their breads and desserts, and even the cooks inside the kitchen, the team is primarily differently-abled.The walls are beautifully painted, menu is healthy, rates are very reasonable but experience is beyond comparison

I am specifically not posting any pic of the food as this place is above it.Do visit them and enjoy the hospitality of people from autism community. They believe in an inclusive ideology and I do incline towards that. I wish them all the best for this and also they do have variety of food plus variety of events being lined up each month !!

We visited Cafe Arpan yesterday. Its such a cute lil cafe, managed and run by the Yash Charitable Trust with the aim of providing quality of life to people with special needs. The moment you enter you are welcomed with warmth & amazing hospitality. Its also comparitively quiet from other places & cozy to work out of there or sit and read a book.The food is also amazing & delicious. The must have stuff - Spinach & Corn Sandwich, Cold Coffee & The Ginger TeaEvery nook & corner is filled with frames, quotes and success stories & emanates positivity. The best part is that this place is the sort of representation we need in our society. Do visit & you will come out with a smile on your face!
