Craft Coffee Opens 2nd Outlet at Salt Lake, Kolkata

Craft Coffee has opened a new outlet at Salt Lake, Kolkata.

The urge to congregate over a cup of coffee at a café still continues as they have become the present-day brewing point for cultural dialogues and exchanges. Salt Lake always longed for a cafe that attracts coffee aficionados, university students and weekday workers with laptops while families can cherish their breakfasts and an all-day coffee and food paired menu.

Craft Coffee feels the need to build an intimate and incomparable multisensory experience serving signature fusion coffee handcrafted drinks paired with continental food and freshly baked treats from their in-house bakery & confectionery.

The new outlet in Salt Lake, Kolkata, has the main bar that offers regular and signature beverages, the manual brewing bar at the terrace offers an experience where guests can chat with the baristas understanding the nuances of coffee roasting and manual brewing methods like siphon, pour-over, Turkish, french press, etc. to name a few.

“With the hub and spoke model to spread the Indian origin coffee culture we have also opened a 40 seater boutique cafe in City Centre 1 mall with a live kitchen and have plans to open several others across Kolkata and India in the coming future days,” shared Abhinav Kumar, Co - Founder of Craft Coffee Kolkata (Ballygunge and Salt lake Outlet).

The space has Ikat patterns, handcrafted lights made by local artisans, handcrafted crockery sourced from Khurja, and lush green zones created in the courtyard and terrace. The architecture also has inspirations from a heritage point of view but with an eccentric twist in its contemporary color palette.

The center also has a gourmet store where trained baristas help guests pick up freshly roasted single estate coffee beans suiting, their palate and ground to their requirements, bakery products, and home brewing equipment, along with a coffee-based organic skincare range. Continuing with the hub and spoke model to spread the Indian-origin coffee culture, Craft Coffee has also opened a 40-seater boutique cafe in City Centre 1 mall with a live kitchen.

Besides their commitment to serve freshly roasted coffee from their own inhouse roasting unit with the launch of the Salt Lake experience center, they also aim to bring another element of handcrafted vegan fusion chocolate and coffee pairing through another initiative called “Criollo”.
