Instead, we rely on cold-pressed oils, house-made ferments like kimchi, and whole foods to build flavour. When you eat with us, you are getting nutrient-dense meals that support your gut and leave you feeling energised, not heavy. Our approach to food starts with the belief that what you put in your body should sustain your day, not slow it down. We source organic, pesticide-free grains and produce from local partners like Farm Fresh Bangalore, ensuring every bowl we serve is packed with nutrients. By using the whole grain—bran, germ, and endosperm—we maximize fibre and flavour in our sourdough and bowls. We are also committed to a zero-waste philosophy. You might notice our Tepache on the menu; that began as a way to use pineapple skins that would otherwise be discarded. Similarly, our 'Pea Smash and Heels' dish transforms the crusty ends of our sourdough loaves into a crunchy, delicious pairing for our dips. These practices reflect our belief in mindful, connected living. Our kitchen is built on layering flavours. We use fresh herbs, house-made pastes, and gut-loving probiotics like kimchi and pickles. Whether you are ordering a subscription meal for your busy week or visiting our Indiranagar cafe, our goal is to serve food that tastes as good as it makes you feel. ## About Copper + Cloves We are a team that believes in food that connects you to your body and your day. We focus on plant-based, gut-friendly meals that are all about flavour and community, right here in our Indiranagar home.
