Organic cafés in Pondicherry

Auroville still sets the tone: sourdough, cold-pressed juices, bowls that are not a joke. Eat at the visitor centre, then hunt a community bakery if you have a scooter. Back in White Town, Café des Arts and Coromandel are the courtyard version of the same instinct — slower, greener, less butter than Baker Street. Go hungry; portions are honest.
