The power couple was seen placing orders at the counter, following which they sat at a table. They also happily posed for selfies with people at the cafe.

While Sunak, 44, was dressed in his trademark white shirt and black trousers, Akshata Murty chose a simple, pastel kurta.

Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty, along with his in-laws, NR Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murty, also visited the Sri Raghavendra Swami Mutt in south Bengaluru's Jayanagar earlier this week. The family sought the blessings of Guru Raghavendra during the auspicious month of Kartik.

Take a look at another photo of Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty on their coffee date:

The family participated in the rituals at Sri Raghavendra Swami Mutt. Sudha Murty was seen giving cash to her daughter and son-in-law so they could donate it.

Rishi Sunak met Akshata Murty, daughter of Infosys founder Narayana Murthy and author-philanthropist and Rajya Sabha MP Sudha Murty, when they were studying together at Stanford University. The couple has two daughters, Anoushka and Krishna. Neither Sunak nor Murty has shared anything about their recent Bengaluru visit on social media.

Earlier this year, Akshata Murty and father Narayana Murthy were spotted enjoying ice cream at the Jayanagar outlet of the iconic Bengaluru chain Corner House.

The Murthys are longtime residents of Jayanagar.

Incidentally, British royals King Charles and Camilla were also in Bengaluru recently on a quiet visit to a luxury wellness retreat in Bengaluru's Whitefield.

Rishi Sunak served as the prime minister of the United Kingdom from October 2022 until his resignation in July last year, making history as the first British-Indian leader. He was succeeded by Keir Starmer in 2024, a former barrister who entered the British parliament in 2015.
