Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters, India's leading specialty coffee brand, has marked a significant milestone with the opening of its 100th café in Kolkata. Known for its exceptional coffee and vibrant café experiences, Blue Tokai continues to shape India's coffee culture with its expansion across the country.
Starting as a small roastery in Delhi in 2013, Blue Tokai has rapidly grown into the largest specialty coffee brand in India, catering to diverse demographics and preferences. The company’s cafés have played a pivotal role in introducing specialty coffee to Indian consumers, reflecting a 2x growth since FY23.
Shivam Shahi, Co-Founder and COO of Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters, highlighted the increasing demand for high-quality coffee and the shift towards inclusive out-of-home experiences. He expressed the company’s commitment to expanding its café network, aiming to reach 200 stores by the end of the next fiscal year.
The newly opened café in Ballygunge, Kolkata, offers an array of premium coffee options, including espresso, pourover, and Vietnamese-style iced coffee. Additionally, it features a bookstore by Bahrisons Booksellers, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere for coffee enthusiasts and readers alike.
With its strategic locations in premium markets, corporate parks, malls, and residential neighborhoods, Blue Tokai aims to make specialty coffee accessible to consumers across India. The brand's dedication to quality is evident in its sourcing of the finest Indian beans and expert roasting techniques.
Blue Tokai’s expansion efforts have been supported by recent funding, including a $30 million Series B round in January 2023. With investors backing its growth initiatives, the company is poised to further enhance its café footprint, develop its B2B channel, and explore new opportunities in India’s coffee market.
As Blue Tokai celebrates its 100th café, it continues to redefine the coffee experience in India, bringing people together over shared interests and a love for great coffee.
