Top 5 New Cafés in Mumbai

Cafés nowadays are much more than just coffee and sandwiches. We’ve graduated from the homely, familiar South Indian and Irani cafés that served filter coffee in a steel cup – not that those cafés are any less dear to us – to cafés that offer a classy and hip ambience. You can watch many a social butterfly gossiping with her friends over a frothy cuppa, or the bespectacled hipster tapping away on his laptop with a cup of black coffee on the side, now gone cold. True, the price of a coffee in such cafés is equal to a complete meal and more in a regular restaurant, but then its the experience that matters, more than the fare. We’ve rounded off a few such experiential cafés in Mumbai that are all about the experience. Here are the top 5 new cafés in Mumbai you should try out at least once

Grandmama’s Café

The charm exuding off this vintage café is beyond lovely. Inside the sea-green doors of Grandmama’s Café is a world of quaint paintings, old-world lamps and vintage décor. The best things about this café are its breakfast menu and the divine waffles, so come hungry and leave satiated!
