Ajeet Mahale, a journalist by profession, visits Philips Coffee House for his daily pick-me-up. He mentions that they have outlets outside Wadala station, Grand Road station and PM Road {near the erstwhile Strand Bookstore}.
Run by the Malayalam Manorama, one of the first Philips coffee stores had opened in Matunga. You get both beans and powder and you can pick what works out best for you.
They give you freshly ground coffee along with flavour enhancers like peaberry and highlander. What Ajeet loves is that the place smells delicious, and by standing there for a few minutes, you feel awake.
Price: INR 618 {pure coffee}, INR 580 {peaberry} and INR 618 {highlander}
