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.
