Bombay Cafe Map

South Bombay: cafes you can work from

Araku Coffee

3.6

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.

Ground Floor, Sunny House, Mandlik Road, Apollo Bandar, Colaba, Mumbai

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.

  • Quiet

    Reviewers describe the cafe as serene, peaceful, and cool, with each table given its own space for conversation/work in the heritage building (Tripadvisor, Wanderlog reviews).

  • Seating

    The operator publishes a curated reading area and an upper level with bakery and cocktail bar.
