Nandan Coffee

Nandan Coffee is farm-to-cup in the most literal way: the beans are grown on the family's own Nandanvan Estate, perched at 4,500 feet in the hills of Kodaikanal, then roasted, ground and brewed in-house at this Kala Ghoda experience centre. Set inside a heritage stone building in Mumbai's art district, it's a single-estate story you can taste from the first sip.

The menu is built around seven signature blends, each with its own tasting notes, plus a craft-your-own-blend bar where you can play roaster and walk out with a coffee that's genuinely yours. There's an affogato bar for the sweet-toothed, and bags of estate beans to take home.

The setting — green heritage facade, warm wood, framed coffee maps — makes it one of South Mumbai's most characterful coffee stops. Come for the provenance, stay to blend your own, and check the roast date on anything you buy.
