Coffee Sutra, the brainchild of celebrated restaurateur and culinary innovator Dushyant Singh, has officially launched its third café in Jaipur, ushering in a new wave of specialty coffee culture in India. Located in Malviya Nagar, the café opened on June 12, 2025, and promises an immersive sensory experience that celebrates craftsmanship, global coffee innovation, and conscious living.
Staying true to its core values of quality, sustainability, and cultural storytelling, the café offers internationally sourced single-origin beans—from Colombian and Peru Geisha to signature global blends—all roasted in-house at Coffee Sutra’s own roastery. The all-day menu features breakfast favourites, continental dishes, artisan baked goods, and handcrafted beverages, making it a lifestyle destination beyond just coffee.
The new outlet also doubles as a showcase of cutting-edge international brewing technologies. It introduces Indian coffee lovers to the Gabi Drip Master, a Korean pour-over device known for its precision in flavour extraction, the visually striking Cold Brew Drip Tower for smooth and nuanced extractions, and the Paragon Nucleus, a high-performance aroma-preserving system that captures the most delicate flavour notes.
Commenting on the milestone, Dushyant Singh, Founder of Coffee Sutra, said:
"Coffee Sutra was born from a simple but powerful idea: that coffee should be personal, meaningful and globally connected. With the launch of our third outlet, we are deepening that vision. This space is a celebration of the craftsmanship of the farmers, roasters, baristas and coffee lovers who bring our story to life. With globally renowned brewing equipment and ethically sourced beans, we are not just serving coffee—we are revolutionizing how India experiences it."
The café is open daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, offering cozy seating for 85 to 90 guests. True to its Jaipur roots, the café is designed in royal blue and gold, inspired by the city’s regal architecture. It stands as a hub for both connoisseurs and curious learners, featuring Coffee Lab workshops, barista training programs, and curated masterclasses.
Coffee Sutra has already partnered with hospitality giants such as Fairmont, Novotel, and Jamie Oliver Kitchen, further solidifying its reputation as a key player in India’s emerging specialty coffee movement. Sustainability remains at the heart of the brand, with initiatives like eco-friendly bamboo travel cups and traceable bean sourcing underscoring its commitment to conscious living.
Coffee Sutra’s third café is not just a place to sip coffee—it’s a space to explore, learn, and celebrate the journey of every bean from farm to cup.

Ahmedabad’s homegrown vegetarian restaurant chain, The House of Makeba, is preparing for a significant leap beyond Gujarat. Founded in 2018, this bootstrapped startup—known for its north Indian and global cuisines—has already crossed Rs 125 crore in cumulative revenue, scaling from Rs 1.2 crore in FY 2018-19 to an estimated Rs 24 crore in FY 2024-25, all without external funding.
“With every outlet and milestone built organically through belief, discipline, and reinvestment, we’ve focused on profitability over chasing valuations. We’re proud to have scaled sustainably in a fiercely competitive market,” said Ram Singhal, co-founder, The House of Makeba.
Today, the brand operates seven outlets across Gujarat, serving over 12 lakh diners, with nearly one in three being repeat customers. Its distinctive rooftop dining concept and regional-first strategy have helped it carve a niche in India’s crowded vegetarian F&B space.
The House of Makeba follows a hybrid model, blending company-owned flagship locations with carefully chosen franchise partnerships in cities like Gandhinagar, Vadodara, and Anand. This scalable approach is now set to drive its national rollout, with plans to enter five new states by 2026, targeting markets such as Indore, Jaipur, Udaipur, Mumbai, and Pune.
To power this growth, the company plans to invest Rs 45 crore by 2028, potentially scaling to Rs 60 crore by 2030. It aims to have 20 outlets operational by 2028 and 25 by 2030, emerging as a premium, homegrown alternative to legacy vegetarian dining giants.
L’Opera has unveiled its latest culinary gem—Le Cafe at The Chanakya, New Delhi—marking a refined new chapter in the brand’s journey. Nestled within Le Gourmet, Le Cafe is a thoughtfully crafted space that blends the everyday charm of Parisian cafes with the luxury shopping destination’s elegance, inviting guests to pause, savour, and enjoy an elevated French dining experience.
Rooted in L’Opera’s hallmark dedication to authenticity and craft, Le Cafe adds a fresh layer of warmth and versatility to the brand’s expanding portfolio. It captures the quiet joys of French living—from the scent of freshly baked baguettes to the delicate flakiness of croissants—transforming each visit into a sensory retreat.
Speaking on the launch, Laurent Samandari, Founder & Managing Director of L’Opera, shared, “With Le Cafe, we wanted to create a space where every detail from the aroma of fresh bread to the last spoon of risotto reminds you of the quiet pleasures of French living. It’s our way of bringing a little Paris to your daily life.”
The new cafe is anchored by four elegantly designed counters, each offering a distinct experience:
The Pastry & Bread Counter, showcasing signature L’Opera delicacies.
A Live Kitchen for freshly prepared classics.
A Salad & Sandwich Bar blending fresh flavours.
An Artisanal Pasta Counter celebrating European culinary traditions.
The menu itself is a sophisticated balance of comfort and creativity, carefully curated to suit every mood and moment. True to L’Opera’s ethos, there’s an emphasis on premium ingredients, mindful preparation, and catering to diverse dietary preferences, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and protein-rich options—often featuring fresh, organic, and locally sourced produce.
Whether shoppers stop by for a quick pastry or linger over a leisurely meal, Le Cafe seamlessly adapts, offering both refined takeaways and leisurely sit-down experiences. With this launch, L’Opera continues to infuse Delhi’s culinary landscape with authentic French finesse, turning everyday moments into delightful rituals.

India’s dessert scene just got a major upgrade as FES Cafe, the country’s first scalable 100% eggless, dessert-first cafe chain, raised Rs 3 crores in a seed round led by serial entrepreneur Aakash Anand and his venture studio, Wolfpack Labs. Known for backing breakout consumer brands, Wolfpack’s involvement brings not just capital but deep strategic support across innovation, franchising, operations, and brand-building.
With this backing, FES is gearing up for its next phase of aggressive expansion, beginning with its Delhi debut this July, followed by a second outlet in Gurgaon and a Jaipur launch by year-end. The brand plans to scale to over 100 outlets across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities by FY 2027 through a hybrid COCO and FICO model, along with delivery-first hubs and packaged dessert formats to broaden its footprint. Since its inception, FES has carved a niche with its gooey cookies, whipped puddings, alt-ingredient cakes, and seasonal desserts served in vibrant, Gen Z- and Millennial-friendly third spaces.
Signature experiences like Coffee Raves and limited-edition menus keep their ever-growing community hooked. In just four months, FES achieved EBITDA-positive status at the company level, saw a 347% spike in delivery revenue, and recorded over 10,000 monthly orders as of June 2025.
“FES was born out of one belief: desserts deserve better,” says Vidur Mayor, Founder & CEO of FES Cafe. “With Wolfpack’s backing, we’re building not just a cafe chain, but a national movement powered by community and creativity.” Aakash Anand added, “FES has all the right ingredients—buzz, brand love, business smarts, and a founder with the hustle to go big.”
With a vision that blends indulgence and inclusivity, FES is well on its way to becoming India’s Central Perk of desserts—personal, powerful, and primed for scale.
