The internet has influenced the worldwide café decor, from hipster cafés to the iconic "Instagram wall." The Arabic term "qahwa" is where the word "café" originates, and it then evolved into the Venetian word "caffe" before becoming a global emblem of coffee culture. Kolkata, or more accurately, Calcutta, lives on contrasts, where the past and present collide. These 50 Instagram-worthy cafés are also worthy of a place on your Instagram feed because of their picture-perfect charm.

Well-known around the world for its rich, creamy cookies, puddings, and pastries, decades later, the restaurant is still as well-liked, featuring chandeliers, fancy furniture, and pastel colours that evoke the atmosphere of European tea salons.

Tea Place By Manjushree
You get the impression of a fancier restaurant when you walk inside this tea shop, but it's affordable. The interior is elegant and sophisticated. The chairs are comfortable. While sipping a cup of freshly brewed tea, you can peruse the books at the café, or as you can say, the tea house. We adore the manner in which they serve their tea the most. The "Tea Maker Infuser" and timer that come with the tea allow you to customise how much tea you want to drink. With the three marks on the timer—light, medium, and strong—you may set how long you want the tea to brew. A side of cookies is offered with the tea. Along with being delicious, the meal is presented and decorated in a really elegant and stunning way
Must-Try: Wasabi Prawn Tempura and Vegetable Au Gratin

Once inside, take a seat at one of the seating spaces by the windows. The comfortable décor and the winding wooden staircase to the upper floor give the impression that you are in a hill station cafe, despite the limited area. Regular guests include Anjan Dutta and other well-known performers like Arko, who even recorded an album here. In addition to having a quaint section filled with carefully chosen foreign coffee beans from all over the world, the café is well-known for its artisanal coffee.

Boba Panda
Boba drinks are wholesome conversation starters. During our last visit here, along with bubble slush, we ordered a cheese corn dog, yangnyeom chicken, and some lipsmacking jajangmeyon. The food that is served here also has an Indian influence. It was good in both quantity and quality. The aesthetic game of this place is in its drinks and the pinkness of the interiors serves as a backdrop for you kawai photos!

Raj's Spanish Cafe
Kolkata is maybe the only city where you could discover an entirely unexpected tale on a deserted road among millions. Raj's Spanish Café, which serves freshly and delectably prepared wood-fired oven pizzas, calzones, empanadas, and many other food items from Spain, Italy, and Mexico, is situated at 7 Sudder Street, next to Fire Brigade Headquarters in Dharamtala. There is nothing more laid-back than this café. Dreamers, artists, and anybody else with an idea can paint on the walls, so perhaps write something more interesting than "I was here." Watch your pizza bake all bubbling and golden in a real wood-fired oven through this incredibly appealing blue door that's constantly open.You can yap and enjoy Spanish food at this fantastic gathering spot.

Marbella's
The charm of Marbella's is reminiscent of Pinterest, so you'd definitely feel at home. Its all-white facade, Parisian-style windows, and fairy lights on trees will stop you cold. This store features quaint small nooks with white brick walls, tiled flooring, pastel colours, lots of fairy lights, wooden chandeliers, glass windows, and wrought iron furnishings. The owner Nikhil Chawla's trips to Europe served as inspiration for the décor, which is bright, simple, and fuss-free. Have you ever noticed a coconut tree in a lavatory? To maintain that connection to nature at the cafe, there is one inside the lavatory. The area is separated into three areas: the outdoor area, which is ideal for sunny mornings with plenty of natural light; the "isoulation" area, which is where you can work in peace and quiet while sipping freshly brewed coffee; and the indoor area, which is decorated with lovely lights and calming hues.

Pancham Er Adday
R.D. Burman, often known as Pancham, the music director whose popularity rises year after year, is the focus of a cafe in Kolkata. Also because he was born in the city and went to school here. Pancham Er Adday roughly translates to "chatting away with Pancham." So, expect a lot of RD Burman music, scrumptious food and a filmy, Bollywood kinda setting. So, if you're a fan of the late musician and enjoy good music and a hot cup of coffee, then this should be your next adda zone.

Cocoa Bakery
Our newest favourite place to hang out is the Cocoa Bakery in New Alipore. It quickly wins people over with its small space, few tables, and aroma of freshly made bread. You should go there specifically for their bread, macaroons, pastries, and hot chocolate. M&M packets, adorable mini chocolates, doughnuts, and much more. They will also create customised cakes for you. Starting at around INR 900 per pound, the three-tier cakes weigh 12 pounds. Cocoa Bakery is the ideal place to have a cup of tea or a steaming mug of coffee. Also, they have a few tiny bites on the side.There is plenty of parking right next to the bakery; however, the lane is really narrow. You can enjoy a peaceful evening in the open park on the right before you enter.
