Bandra: cafes you can work from

Mokai

1.5

Matcha, curved beige everything, and a queue of people photographing it. Better than that description suggests.

The design does most of the talking, but the kitchen is not coasting. Go on a weekday afternoon if you would rather look at the room than queue for it.

600–602, Hill Crest Building, Ground Floor, Dr Ambedkar Road, next to Arvind Store, Pali Naka, Bandra West

A five-month-old experience-led matcha cafe over two floors with lounging beds, live music and no reported wifi or outlets, pleasant, but unevidenced as a workspace.

  • Quiet

    Press coverage and guides report steady crowds since the relocation.

  • Seating

    "long wait times... can feel cramped with small spaces where customers may be required to share tables"; "low chairs that get uncomfortable after a while" (Wanderlog/Justdial reviews)
