The Top 14 Coffee Spots In Kolkata You Must-Visit
Roastery Coffee House
Roastery Coffee House has emerged as one of the city's most popular hangouts for people of all ages. Coffee lovers are known to love their cascara, chilly brew ice cream, Vietnamese iced coffee, and cranberry coffee. Moving away from coffee, their sandwiches, bruschetta, grilled chicken salad, burgers, spaghetti, or finger food are amongst the most ordered (all of them are delicious!) and definitely worth a try. The retro décor will transport you to the British era, while the inner space will evoke the impression of old-world Europe and Bengal. With handcrafted ikat drapes, upholstery, silk hanging lights, and planters, it radiates artistic beauty. What's more? They even make their own crockery!

Evabrew
I stumbled upon this small bistro while exploring the surrounding streets and instantly fell in love with it. From the coffee's quality to the nestled space, everything here is spectacular. The building is divided into two floors: the bottom floor is where ordering is done, and the first floor is where seating is located in the small space. Get yourself a mocha hot coffee or Spanish coffee to understand why this place deserves a spot on this list. Their house brew is equally amazing, and both the espresso and the cold brew were delicious!

La Macario
La Macario has all you need to light up your Instagram feed and satisfy those crazy food cravings, along with some of the best coffee in Kolkata. The best part is that you get to flaunt the biggest cup of coffee ever. Their classic cold coffee is the perfect brew to sip on when the weather is confusing in Kolkata, or try the French vanilla cold brew and pair it up with some Lotus Biscoff & berry pancakes. The space is also done up beautifully in shades of yellow, green and grey with eco-friendly interiors, potted plants, saplings on every table and creepers hanging from the ceiling.

8th day Cafe & Bakery
Coffee vouchers are given out so that after 7 purchases, you can get a free drink. For college students on a tight budget, it's a terrific spot to enjoy fine cups of coffee! The hot chocolate is prepared with house-made chocolate ganache and steamed milk. One of the best available in the city, it perfectly goes with the rain or winter. The Nitro Cold Brew is a chilled, creamy beverage infused with nitrogen, steeped in water for 24 hours. This is pretty high in caffeine yet gives a mellow and smoother cup.

Potboiler Coffee House
It's a Scandinavian-inspired cafe that perfectly balances fashion and functionality. There's a section near the huge glass windows, decked out with a string of lights hanging from the ceiling, with a wall displaying our favourite Dumbledore-Snape dialogue – "After all this time? Always." Now for the menu—or, perhaps more accurately, the "literary" menu. They serve coffee and tea with titles like To Kill A Macchiato, The Latte Of The Rings, Murder On Orient Aero-Press, The Scarlet Bean, The Old Man And The Tea, and The God Of Small Darjeelings.
Timing: 10 AM to 10 PM
Price: INR 1,000 for two people

Sienna Store & Cafe
They just know what they're doing. Our favourite? A cup of seasonal nolen gur latte! Do not miss out on the signature lemonades, which come in three flavours: gondhoraj and sweet lime, spiced kokum and betel leaf. If you want something even more zesty, the fresh orange juice quenches the thirst like no other. They have coffee, which is sourced from Subko, so any brew you want, they will whip it up for you. Vegan? Worry not. They also serve a few vegan dishes and can make a vegan preparation for specific items on the menu.

Craft Coffee
When you walk into the Ballgunge outlet, you'll see the coffee roasting chamber where coffee beans are being roasted, and if you want to take a look, you can do that too! Coffee from southern Indian estates, including Nandipura and Salawara, famous for its Liberica Coffee, Rivara, and Ratnagiri, is available at Craft Coffee. Pretty tiled walkway? Check. A comfortable spot by the Sensory Coffee Bar? Check. Coffee mojito and Nutella cold brew are must-drinks. Another Craft Coffee outlet at Purna Das Road has the largest manual brew station. They also have their in-house chocolates from Criollo that are wonderful.

Flurys is also called "Queen of Park Street". Arabica Gold coffee beans, Gold instant coffee, and traditional instant coffee. Try the Cappuccino Chocolate Cup Jar or the Viennese Coffee.

Colab Coffee
It is warm, compact, and has that lingering, comforting coffee smell. Colab Coffee is well known for its pea and broccoli hummus on freshly baked rosemary toast, and its Chemex coffee is considered one of the best brews in Kolkata so far. If the weather is making you angry, a cool orange brew helps. The aesthetics of this café will allow you to relax with your squad, your partner, or even by yourself. While the tables are compact, they lend an intimate setting, excellent for deep conversations or unspoken thoughts.

Artsy Coffee & Culture
With American, European, and Asian cuisines, Artsy spearheads all artistic cafe fantasies. This is the kind of cafe that is best frequented, especially when it's raining a lot. With teas from Goodwyn Tea and coffee roasts from Blue Tokai and Bili Hu, Artsy serves farm-to-cup coffee. What we loved – cortado, tiramisu, French toast, eggs Benedict, Lotus Biscoff pancakes, coconut milk iced coffee, and salted caramel hot chocolate. The cafe's main feature is a long table with an overhanging plant.
