This was the first café to pop up in Jodhpur Park and it owned the café scene in this hood. One of the most well-known in the city, Abar Baithak has undergone a revamp — it has two floors now and a theme centre around Kolkata’s favourite sleuth, Feluda. They also have books on sale along with other things like funky coffee mugs, bags and cushions. There’s a carrom board too, but you have to be lucky to find that spot empty! It’s spread over two floors. Books by Satyajit Ray, Sherlock Holmes, and Rabindranath Tagore abound on the bookshelf. Enjoy a classic book while munching on a Chicken Salami sandwich and drinking Hazelnut Coffee. You can stand on the balcony, sit in the wooden half-sphere seats, or snap an Instagram-worthy photo with Utpal Dutt in Maganlal Meghraj's cartoon.
