South Bombay: cafes you can work from

Britannia & Co
Ballard Estate · South Bombay
poor
A 1923 Parsi institution in a near-derelict Ballard Estate warehouse room, running on berry pulao and nostalgia, not a work spot, a pilgrimage.
Like Yazdani Bakery and Kyani & Co, this is on the map as a landmark rather than a scored desk: it closes at 4pm, shuts entirely on Sunday, and reviewers describe cramped, well-worn seating built for a quick historic meal, not a laptop afternoon.
Mon, Thu 11:15am–4pm · Tue–Wed, Fri 11am–4pm · Sat 11am–5:30pm · Sun closed
Wakefield House, 11 Sprott Road, Ballard Estate, Fort, Mumbai 400001
