Aren't we the city that never sleeps? You bet we are – and you can also bet that this waken state is because we're always fuelled by caffeine. So obviously, there's gotta be places that are happy to serve you great coffee at all times, no? Here's where to head for great coffee in the middle of the night, the wee hours of the morning, and beyond.
Dusk to Dawn: Here's Where You'll Get Coffee 24x7

Shamiana @ The Taj Mahal Palace
This famous restaurant inside one of the most iconic hotels in the city offers all-day dining, and all-day breakfast (fancy a sunny side up at 2am? They gotchu). Head here for that oddly-timed (or... perfectly timed?) date you've got planned.

The Square, Juhu
We can't help that Juhu is lit. The Square actually has a midnight food menu, too! If you're not done drinking for the night (or if you wanna start...), they've got booze, too. Couple this with a view of the sea, and this is a great, romantic option.
