Nandan Coffee has opened its first flagship café in Bengaluru, marking a significant step in its journey from estate-grown coffee to immersive café experiences. Located at Embassy One on Bellary Road, the new space brings the essence of its Kodaikanal origins into the heart of a city known for its deep-rooted coffee culture.

At the centre of the brand’s philosophy is the Nandanvan Estate, where its certified organic coffee is cultivated within a biodiverse, unfenced ecosystem. With a three-generation legacy, Nandan Coffee maintains complete involvement across cultivation, processing, roasting, and brewing, creating a direct and traceable journey from farm to cup.

The Bengaluru flagship reflects this philosophy through a coffee-first experience designed across multiple formats. Guests can explore an espresso bar featuring four distinct roast profiles, manual brewing methods like pour-over and French press, cold coffees on tap, and a dedicated Filter Kaapi Bar that reinterprets the classic South Indian brew with contemporary flavour profiles. The offering ranges from familiar favourites to experimental blends, appealing to both everyday coffee drinkers and enthusiasts.

Extending beyond coffee, the space also functions as an all-day café, with a menu inspired by Kodaikanal and Mumbai influences. Dishes such as Mari-wala Scramble, Bombay-style bagels, and Nandan Tiramisu French Toast reflect a blend of comfort and creativity. A curated retail section allows guests to explore and purchase coffee blends, brewing equipment, chocolates paired to specific roasts, and handcrafted ceramic merchandise.

Adding a distinctive touch, the café is designed as a pet-friendly space with a dedicated pet menu. Offerings like the signature ‘Pup Cup’ and other pet-safe treats ensure that guests can enjoy the experience alongside their pets.

The beverage programme is extensive, featuring signature drinks such as Spiced Orange Vanilla Filter Kaapi, Honey Cardamom Filter Kaapi, Cold Kaapi on Tap, Raspberry Lattés, and seasonal cold brews. Wellness beverages, matcha selections, smoothies, and teas further broaden the experience, making it suitable for varied preferences.

The space itself reflects the brand’s origin story. Designed by Farida Mariwala Interiors in collaboration with Faizan Khatri, the café incorporates natural light, estate-inspired materials, and a sculptural central coffee bar crafted from Baroda Green marble. With high ceilings and expansive windows, the design brings elements of Kodaikanal’s landscape into an urban setting, creating an environment that feels both immersive and contemporary.

Speaking about the launch, Co-founder Yahvi Mariwala said, "Everything at Nandan Coffee begins at the estate. We grow, process, and roast our coffee ourselves at our estate, and then bring it directly into our spaces. That closeness to origin allows us to preserve quality, remain consistent and create a coffee experience that is deeply personal and rooted in provenance."

She added, "There are a few cities that welcome a new coffee address quite like Bengaluru. With our first flagship, Nandan Coffee aims to bring a little of Kodaikanal’s wild canopy, organic abundance, and unhurried spirit into the heart of Bengaluru’s urban life."

Founded on a legacy that began over three decades ago, Nandan Coffee traces its roots to a family-led transformation of land into a thriving organic estate. Today, under Yahvi Mariwala’s leadership, the brand continues to evolve—bridging tradition and innovation while bringing consumers closer to the journey of coffee.

With its Bengaluru flagship, Nandan Coffee enters a new chapter, one that connects origin, craft, and community, offering a space where coffee is not just served, but experienced in its fullest form.
