The Hazelnut Factory (THF), a fast-growing name in the world of speciality coffee and artisanal sweets, has expanded its footprint to Agra with the launch of its 15th outlet. Rooted in Lucknow, THF is celebrated for blending traditional Indian flavours with global café culture, and the new space in Agra is a tribute to the city’s rich heritage.

The launch ceremony was graced by Chief Guest Smt. Hemlata Diwakar, Hon’ble Mayor of Agra Municipal Corporation, who inaugurated the outlet on August 12, 2025, with a ceremonial ribbon cutting. She was warmly welcomed by Mr. Ankit Sahni, Founder & CEO of The Hazelnut Factory, and Mr. Badal Sahni, Co-founder & COO.

The interiors draw inspiration from charming European cafés while embracing Indian warmth through THF’s signature blue décor. Every product reflects their ethos—The Joy of Crafting the Best—whether it’s single-estate coffee from Chikmagalur, their trademarked artisanal mithai Labon™, or indulgent pastries that fuse global techniques with local flavours.

The highlight for this edition is a creative spin on Baklava, infused with regional tastes and paired perfectly with THF’s premium coffee blends. As part of their cultural campaign, the brand imagines Emperor Shahjahan himself stepping in for a cup, with the tagline—Even Shahjahan would've loved our coffee.

“Agra’s legacy deserves more than admiration—it deserves participation,” says Ankit Sahni. “Through our interiors and cultural storytelling, we’re inviting people to not just drink coffee, but to experience heritage.”
