Araku Coffee
Apollo Bunder · South Bombay
good
An 1897 building, a modbar, and a reading area someone actually curated. Behind the Taj, and worth finding.
The reading area is the tell: this is a cafe built for staying, not turning over. Downstairs in the afternoon for coffee and a book; upstairs in the evening if the evening is going well.
Daily 8am–11pm
Ground Floor, Sunny House, Mandlik Road, Apollo Bandar, Colaba, Mumbai

4.1★ public rating (379) — wanderlog.com (citing Google)
Verdict
Good wifi and a handsome 55-seat two-level room, but the one work-focused review says sockets are limited and calls it suitable only for short sessions.
Where the scores come from
Seating
The operator publishes a curated reading area and an upper level with bakery and cocktail bar.
