2 Degree Cafe started as a small initiative with a big dream. It began in a modest space at IIT Gandhinagar, driven by a passion for great food and a welcoming atmosphere. We wanted to create a cafe that served delicious meals while fostering a sense of community among students, faculty, and visitors.
The founders of 2 Degree Cafe have a deep-rooted background in solar cooking technology and have pioneered several innovative solar cookers before establishing the cafe. With a strong commitment to raising awareness about climate change among students, they chose the name ‘2 Degree’ as a symbol of this global challenge. Their vision extends beyond the cafe, aiming to develop renewable energy-powered food kiosks in the future, blending sustainability with culinary excellence. Scientists warn that an increase of more than 2 degrees Celsius in global temperatures could lead to irreversible damage to our planet. Our cafe stands as a reminder of this urgent issue and represents our commitment to sustainability. We integrate eco-friendly practices into our operations, from sourcing ingredients to energy-efficient cooking methods. By dining with us, you contribute to a greener future while enjoying delicious, thoughtfully prepared meals.
