KICO
KICO Community, Cocktail, Coffee is a contemporary hospitality brand that is situated in the bustling food street of Bengaluru, Church Street. The space is a hybrid that combines cafe culture, craft cocktails and community dining into one easy-going experience. Instead of establishing itself as a bar or cafe, KICO operates as a hybrid social space where breakfast, coffee, cocktails, and late-night snacks can co-exist comfortably. The name concept is a straightforward but not meaningless one. The name of the place is KICO, which is a combination of Community, Cocktail, and Coffee, the three attributes that define the identity of the place. It will influence individuals to assemble, chat, and enjoy tastes all day long instead of going out at night only. This innovative style has helped KICO to be distinguished in the new generation of restaurants and bars on Church Street.
KICO Church Street
KICO has a strong strategic position at the center of Church Street, one of the busiest food and nightlife streets in Bengaluru. The street links some of the important places, such as Brigade Road, MG Road and the Central Business District, and is accessible to both the locals and the visitors who want to tour the city.
KICO Review
AMBIENCE
KICO interior design is clean and modern, with wooden tables, cushioned chairs, and simple black metal accents. There is a long bar counter in the middle of it with well-organised shelves of bottles and glassware. The seating areas have soft pendant lights that are used to provide warmth in the room during the evening. The walls have a subdued texture, which gives them a clean, modern appearance. The abundance of windows facing the entrance gives natural lighting during the day, making the space look open and bright. Altogether, the decor features wood, low-key lighting, and minimal furniture to create a comfortable yet elegant atmosphere. This ambience makes it a unique space among the best bars in Bengaluru.
KICO Food
FOOD
The cuisine in KICO is globally inspired and has some elements of playful fusions. The restaurant kitchen is not limited to a specific cuisine. Rather, it investigates the tastes of different culinary customs and makes the food affordable and fulfilling. The menu also features small plates. Food items such as Peri-Peri Chicken Popcorn are crispy and spicy, and they are accompanied by garlic aioli to add heat to coolness. KICO Signature Wings are also a favorite with spicy hot sauce as a companion and a bold spice mix. The menu also explores the Asian and international influences. The Chicken Katsu Bao Slider has a Japanese-themed spin of having a crispy chicken cutlet placed into a soft steamed bun. At the same time, the Chicken Souvlaki Open Taco is a fusion of Mediterranean flavor and a street-food style. The seafood lovers will have Banana Leaf Wrapped Pan-Seared Fish. In this case, the fish has been marinated in the fragrant spices and then cooked in the leaf to add extra flavor.
KICO Menu
The menu at KICO – Community, Cocktail, Coffee is designed to reflect its all-day concept, moving seamlessly from breakfast and coffee to cocktails and bar bites. The breakfast section includes dishes such as Eggs on Sourdough Toast, Avocado Toasts, and Japanese Fluffy Pancakes, along with benne dosas and classic egg preparations. As the day progresses, the food menu expands to include small plates and global bar snacks like Peri-Peri Chicken Popcorn. The dishes draw inspiration from multiple cuisines, blending Indian flavors with Asian and European influences. Alongside the food, the cocktail menu is organized into themed sections such as Daytime Sippers, and dessert-style cocktails. Signature creations like Raw Voltage, Paradise With Issues, and Dark Matter highlight the bar’s experimental mixology approach. There is also a dedicated selection of mocktails and coffee-based drinks, ensuring that the menu caters to both daytime café visitors and evening cocktail guests.
KICO Drinks
DRINKS
The menu of the KICO is subdivided into categories which represent various moods of drinking and eating. The cocktail program has categories of Daytime, Flirty, and Stopped, representing varying intensity and flavor direction. The cocktails are made to be light and easy to drink. The Hopeless Romantic, Stealth Mode and Kawa De Soul are all leaning towards citrus, tea infusions, and light botanicals. The other playful category is Guilty Pleasures, and it is a reimagination of the dessert flavors in liquid form. Some of the cocktails, like Basque and Bold or The Interval, include ingredients such as cheesecake liqueur, coffee, caramel, and even the note of popcorn. KICO also has mocktails in addition to cocktails, and this is based on the concept of collaboration known as KICO × Sober. Alcohol-free drinks such as Guava Game, Punarapuli Fizz, and Horizon offer the use of tropical fruits, citrus, herbs, and teas. Byadagi Burn is infused with smoky chilli flavor based on the local Indian spices.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
The ideal way to relish delicacies at KICO is by picking small plates plus signature cocktails. Visitors who have never been in the hotel may start with Peri-Peri Chicken Popcorn and a softer drink such as The Hopeless Romantic. This blend brings on the spice and citrus balance that pervades most of the menu. To enhance the experience, Chicken Katsu Bao Slider will go well with the aggressive taste of Black Panther. The bao has a crispy texture, which fits perfectly with the sweet, spicy flavor of the drink - a rare delight among the bars and cafes in Ashok Nagar. Those who love seafood can have the Banana Leaf Wrapped Fish, which is a better match with the tropical mocktails, including Guava Game. Some recommended favorites include:
Peri-Peri Chicken Popcorn
Chicken Katsu Bao Slider
Banana Leaf Wrapped Fish
Black Panther Cocktail
Basque & Bold Dessert Cocktail
