The details

Its menu combines Calcutta dishes with cafe staples. Drinks include signature coffee, protein coffee, matcha and bubble tea, while food includes Power Bowls, Open Sandwiches, Bowl Meals, desserts, bakery items and all-day breakfast.
Featured items include the Kolkata Special Crispy Fish Burger with Bhetki, a Chicken Burrito Bowl and the Barista Blast chilled coffee drink.
