Bombay Cafe Map

South Bombay: cafes you can work from

Starbucks, Horniman Circle

3.2

India's first Starbucks, in a colonial-era banking hall. The building is the reason to choose it.

Nobody needs a recommendation to find a Starbucks. This one earns its place on a Bombay map because of the room it is in, double-height, stone, genuinely beautiful, and because it is the most predictable plug-and-wifi bet in Fort.

Elphinstone Building, Ground Floor, 10 Horniman Circle, Veer Nariman Road, Fort, Mumbai 400001

A work-cafe guide calls it the most reliable work cafe in south Mumbai: ample outlets, reliable wifi, air-conditioned varied seating; peak-hour crowds and worn sofas are the caveats.

  • Wi-Fi

    A city guide states that most Mumbai outlets have all-day free wifi, a chain-level claim, not confirmed for this store.

  • Power

    The same guide reports plug points near the tables across the chain's Mumbai outlets.

  • Quiet

    Reviewers note it gets 'very crowded' and 'freaking crowded by the evening', with waits to get a seat (Tripadvisor, Foursquare)

  • Seating

    Big flagship store, two levels, high ceilings, lots of seating including bean bags and high-top chairs (Tripadvisor)
