What's happening
Coffee Island, a Greece-origin coffee brand brought to India by Vita Nova Group, has opened its debut cafe in Bengaluru, located in Koramangala.
The company said the launch marks another step in its expansion across India, choosing a neighbourhood known for its active dining and cafe scene.
The details
The outlet seats 80 people and is laid out with separate dining and hangout areas as well as a distinct leisure space for quieter activities such as reading, journaling or working.
Its menu centres on coffee made from House Blend, Global Blend and Global Single Estate beans sourced from regions including Kenya and Ethiopia, served through brewing methods like Chemex, AeroPress and Island Pour Over, plus espresso drinks such as Cortado and Ibrik Coffee. Cold beverage options include signatures like Mont Blanc, Overnite Brew, Gelato Affogato, Proffees and Ube lattes.
Why it matters
Global CEO Konstantinos Konstantinopoulos said India is an important market for Coffee Island's global expansion and that the brand sees strong potential for a long-term presence in the country.
India CEO Amitabh Negi said the brand wants its cafes to function as community spaces combining coffee, food and everyday social life, rather than just coffee outlets.
