A Brew-tiful Guide To The Best Cold Coffees In The City To Beat The Summer Heat

Not many foodies are aware of this hidden gem (that’s why you’ve got us). Started with a humble and a heart-warming story, Bombay to Barcelona is a quaint little café in Andheri East which serves lip-smacking snacks and an array of beverages. While they’ve got tons of options when it comes to coffee (definitely try Café Bonbon), we never get tired of sipping on their classic cold coffee.

Price: INR 180

Our personal favourite café in South Mumbai for all things healthy and vegan, The Pantry has an array of cold beverages to help you survive Mumbai’s heat. They’ve got two types of cold coffee – their classic one or cold-brewed Shakerato. Choose either, both are great.

Price: INR 175

This café comes highly recommended by those in the hood. Known for ‘passionately brewing excellence’, 70 Beans is an amazing budget-friendly café with INR 97 and INR 197 menu. Coffee being their specialty, lets jump right into our favourite cold brew there. From the many cold coffee options they offer, we love their Coffee On The Rocks, a chilled glass of coffee – a perfect solution for Mumbai’s summers.

Price: INR 277

Bunch of books, cutesy décor and really affordable prices – makes Steamy Mugs a magnet. Not just in the locality, but across surrounding areas. While the #LBBCrew swears by their masala chai, we would highly recommend gulping down their Hazelnut cold coffee. It simply has the perfect amount of sugar – not too less, not too much!

Price: INR 130

While it's got a lot more than just coffee, this joint is never a bad idea if you want to grab a good cup of joe! Apart from their classic Cappuccino, you can definitely do with some yummy iced halzenut coffee, the cookies and cream coffee, or the double chocolate coffee!

Price: INR 285 

Tucked away in Vasant Vihar, Café Amigos is known for their wholesome breakfast menu, quick bites and an array of drinks. Pair their lip-smacking finger food with a creamy caffeine punch. While you can opt for their classic cold coffee, they give you an option to make it flavourful by extra additions like vanilla, cinnamon and caramel. We personally love their caramel cold coffee.

Price: INR 230.

Minimal white décor, wooden furniture and hints of green – Magari is totally an Insta-worthy café. A pretty budget-friendly café, these guys serve a lot of Italian and healthy fare. But if you’re looking to drink something, try their Affogato which comes with shots of espresso poured over vanilla ice-cream. Trust us, it’s worth a shot.

Price: INR 180

Well, this iconic joint needs no introduction. For many loyal fans, Prithvi Café is a go-to for chilling on weekends, conversations or simply reading a book. While they’re really popular for their Irish Coffee, we love to sip their Americano during summers.

Price: INR 80

Of course, apart from the above mentioned cafes and joints, there are classic coffee joints like Blue Tokai, Starbucks, Bombay Coffee House etc. where you can always go to. Here's a list of the best coffee joints in Mumbai.
