Madras Coffee House
We can't leave the good-old filter coffee out of a coffee list. A classic south Indian place, Madras Coffee House is where you should head for some kappi. The coffee is frothy, a little bitter and one of the better ones in the city. If you're one who likes their filter coffee a little bitter, not too milky nor sweet, then this will be apt for your palette. The filter coffee here is priced at INR 45. It's a typical South Indian coffee house, so you must drop in for breakfast. It opens early so you can get steaming hot idlis and coffee for breakfast and be on your way.
Theobroma
Finally making its way to Pune, Theobroma, which started as a popular French cafe in Mumbai has taken over the country with its brownies. But what few people know is that they are also loved for their French-style coffees. Sip a simple cappuccino or a latte and you'll surely love it. And, a croissant or a brownie here is definitely a good company for that hot cuppa you order. A coffee here will cost you INR 95. This Theobroma has an express kitchen, so unfortunately you won't be able to grab hot plates.
The Fat Labrador Cafe
Adding charm to Bavdhan with their cozy interiors and a cute in-house Labrador, The Fat Labrador Cafe is perfect for chilling alone, to go on a date or to just hang out with your friends. Even if they are famed for their hot chocolate, we like their coffees too. Their Vietnamese-style coffee and cold brew are a part of their speciality. A cappuccino here will cost you INR 120. This cafe is obviously pet-friendly and closed on Thursdays.
The French Window Patisserie
Do like the French do at French Window Patisserie. The beautiful cafe gives you the feel of sitting at a roadside cafe in Paris. They have their signature French press coffee, several flavoured coffees, cold brews and more. It's an apt place for brunch or breakfast. But if you really want to do like the French, then a slice of cake with a French press is a must. A cup of coffee will set you back approximately INR 120. It is a popular place for expats to hangout at in Koregaon Park. It's also pet-friendly, has a calm vibe that's apt for reading, free WiFi and a smoking area.
Le Plaisir
You can't have lived in Pune and not eaten at Le Plaisir and loved it. Everyone who visits town, also makes a stop here. You've got to try the cinnamon coffee. With a generous sprinkling of cinnamon powder on top of the hot brew, the coffee is neither too sweet not bitter. It's perfect for a rainy evening or when you need a warm hug, believe us, this cup won't disappoint. A meal for two here usually costs INR 1,000, so a cuppa will approximately set you back INR 150.

A nationwide phenomenon, Blue Tokai has opened a brand new outlet in the city for all coffee lovers. Decked up in earthy tones and elevated with lots of greenery, the cafe roasts and brews its concoctions in-house to maintain the freshness of a cuppa joe. But that’s not all.
