This is Part Two in the India Series of coffee shops.

Welcome to Colaba, India!

Colaba is amazing for shopping. I was able to get some really beautiful pieces of jewelry as well some some cultural relics all for a great deal. Not only is Colaba great for shopping, but it’s also a gem for coffee and tea. After a long day of shopping, my mom, my aunt, my grandmother, and I needed a quick pick-me-up. I’m soooo glad my aunt recommended this cute cafe! We were blown away by the food, service, and the ambiance!

Chef Pablo is such a sweetheart! Excellent host as well!

We were super impressed by the ambiance. Even though we were in Colaba, we felt like we were truly in a French patisserie. This isn’t shocking, though. The Head Chef Pablo Naranjo (@chefpablonaranjo) and Chef/Owner Pooja Dhingra both studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. They definitely brought their A-game to Colaba!
The coffee and chai are soooo delicious! I got a regular latte (no almond milk on the menu) and it was delicious, fresh, creamy, and I could instantly tell that the quality of espresso beans is top notch. This is unsurprising because Chef Pablo is also from Colombia, which has amazing coffee as well (more on this in my next post)! The chai was in beautiful fabric packs and it was also of the highest quality. My mom opted for two bags to get a truly strong and delicious cup of chai.
The croissants are so delcious, flaky and buttery! They know how to make French pastries here! I sooo need to try their actual menu items for lunch next time I’m in town.
The hospitality of Chef Pablo was amazing! He made sure we had everything we needed, checked up on us, chatted with us and was an amazingly kind individual. Even though the cafe was busy, he tried to talk to as many guests and made sure everyone was having a great time. Will definitely return!
