Our story

We started with a single sack of green Yirgacheffe and a borrowed drum roaster.

Twelve years later we're still chasing the same thing — the specific moment a coffee tells the truth about where it came from. We pay producers above the FOB price, post the contracts publicly, and roast every bag to order.

Farms visited: 27
Direct trade since: 2014
Roasted weekly: 1.2 t

Bean to cup

Five steps. No shortcuts.

From the farm we visited last March to the cup in front of you — here's every hand it passes through.

01
Source
We meet farmers at origin — most lots are direct trade with growers we've known for years. We pay above the FOB price and post the contract publicly.
Salawara Estate · Belur · 3,800 ft.
02
Cup
Every lot is sample-roasted, scored on a 100-point scale, and tasted blind by three of us. If it doesn't tell the truth about its farm, it goes back.
Cupping table · Monday mornings
03
Roast
Drum-roasted weekly in 12 kg batches. Light to medium — never dark. Roast date stamped on every bag the day it goes out.
Tuesday · 12 kg · Probat L12

Brew
Calibrated bars, three-year-trained baristas, recipes refined over thousands of cups. The same care whether it's an espresso or a Kalita.
8 baristas · 1 espresso bar
05
Serve
Cup in your hand — and, if you ask, the story of the farm it came from. That last part is the whole point.

Brew it right

Three ways to meet the bean.

Recipes we actually use, refined over thousands of cups at the bar. Free brew guide ships with your first order.

V60 Pour Over

Bright, layered, articulate. Best with our lighter Ethiopian and Kenyan lots.

Time: 3:30
Ratio: 1:16
Temp: 94°C

Espresso

Dense, syrupy, full of clarity. Pull the Lore Blend or Huila for the sweet spot.

Time: 0:28
Ratio: 1:2
Temp: 93°C

French Press

Heavy body, big mouthfeel. The forgiving brew — and an honest test of your beans.

Time: 4:00
Ratio: 1:15
Temp: 96°C

In their words

The regulars tell it better.

“The Lore Kaapi is the closest thing I've had in Mumbai to my grandmother's filter coffee. I drive across town for it.”

Aanya Mehra

Bandra

“Their Saffron Latte sounds like a gimmick on the menu, then you taste it. I now bring every visitor here just to watch them order one.”

Rohan Iyer

Khar

“We host our reading club on Saturday mornings here. The team has memorised every member's order. Tells you everything.”

Priya Sundaram

Andheri West

“I've taken their Salawara house bag to four cities. The roast date on every bag is the kind of detail that tells you they care.”

The questions we hear most.

Can't find what you're looking for? WhatsApp the cafe — we usually reply within the hour.

Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. Saturday and Sunday, 8 am to 4 pm. Last orders 30 minutes before close. We're closed on Diwali, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Walk-ins are always welcome — we hold roughly half the room for them. For groups of 4+ or weekend brunch, we recommend booking on the site (or WhatsApp us). Reservations are held 15 minutes past your time.

Yes — we have water bowls and the occasional treat. The patio is dog-friendly all day; indoors we ask that they stay on a short lead.

Most of the bites menu is vegetarian; non-veg items are clearly marked. Oat, almond, soy, lactose-free, coconut and cashew milks are available as add-ons. The kitchen can adapt several dishes to vegan — just ask the team.

Two-wheeler parking is on Mill Lane, free for up to two hours. The closest paid car parking is the Mill Lane public lot, 80 metres south. We're a 6-minute walk from Bandra station (East exit).

Yes. We close the cafe for private hire on Sunday evenings (after 4 pm) and have hosted launches, listening parties and small weddings. Rates start at ₹25,000 for 3 hours including food. WhatsApp us for the deck.

Yes — orders placed before 10 am Tuesday ship the same day, free over ₹999. We post-roast within 24 hours of dispatch, so the bag you receive is rarely more than four days old.

We cater within a 6 km radius of the cafe. Drip-pour stations, espresso carts and breakfast platters all available. Drop us a note via the contact form and we'll send the menu and pricing.
