Roastery Coffee House has opened its 17th House and first in Bengaluru, marking a special moment for the Hyderabad-born coffee brand. Located in Banashankari II Stage, the new House brings Roastery closer to the region that has played an important role in its coffee journey.

Roastery was born in Hyderabad in 2017, but nearly 99% of the coffee it serves today comes from Karnataka, particularly the Chikmagalur region. With its first House in the state that has supplied its coffee for years, the brand describes the opening as “Roastery’s Coffee Comes Home.”

For years, coffee has travelled from Chikmagalur estates to Roastery’s roastery and then to its Coffee Houses across India. With Bengaluru, that journey has now come closer to its source.

For Nishant Sinha, Founder & CEO, Roastery Coffee House, the Bengaluru opening means more than entering another city.

“Roastery was born in Hyderabad, but the coffee that built Roastery was born in Karnataka. For years, coffee from Chikmagalur has travelled to our roastery and then to our Coffee Houses across India. Now, for the first time, we are serving that coffee through a Roastery Coffee House in Karnataka itself. So Bengaluru doesn’t feel like entering another market for us. It feels like our coffee coming home.”

Karnataka has remained an important part of Roastery’s coffee programme since its early years. The company currently sources around 100 tonnes of green coffee every year, with nearly 99% coming from Karnataka’s Chikmagalur region.

Roastery works directly with 15+ coffee estates and farmers and focuses on more than 80 speciality-grade coffees, including experimental processes and micro-lots. For the brand, the connection is about more than sourcing beans. Roastery aims to celebrate Indian coffee closer to its source by recognising the farmers, estates, processes and regions behind every cup.

The Bengaluru House now brings the brand physically closer to the landscape that has helped shape its coffee identity. Spread across around 4,000 sq. ft. with seating for approximately 80 guests, the Bengaluru House continues Roastery’s approach of creating modern coffee spaces with an Indian character. The design takes subtle inspiration from Indian arches and traditional design elements, while keeping the overall look contemporary. Soft pastel colours, along with Kalamkari-inspired art and upholstery, bring an Indian craft influence into the space.

Instead of recreating traditional architecture, the House brings familiar Indian forms, colours, textiles and craft into a modern speciality coffee setting. The new Bengaluru House features Roastery’s familiar coffee programme, including its signature Cranberry Coffee, Brownie Blend Cold Coffee, cappuccinos and manual brews made with speciality-grade Indian coffees. Guests can explore different beans and flavour profiles through the manual brewing selection, along with the brand’s hot and cold coffee offerings.

The coffee menu is supported by an all-day food selection featuring sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, pastas and other café favourites, while keeping coffee at the heart of the experience. Roastery sees Bengaluru as more than a one-time opening. The company does not classify individual cafés as flagship stores, with each House intended to develop its own connection with the neighbourhood and city around it.

The brand plans to explore around five to seven Coffee Houses across Bengaluru over the next one to two years, depending on suitable locations and spaces.

For Roastery, however, Bengaluru has a meaning beyond expansion. It brings together two ideas that have shaped the brand since the beginning, Indian coffee and an Indian approach to the spaces where people enjoy it. Born in Hyderabad and built largely on coffee from Karnataka, Roastery Coffee House has now opened its first House in the state where almost all of its coffee begins its journey.
