Report by Santanu Ganguly, Delhi: Café Coffee Day (CCD), India’s pioneer and largest retail chain of coffee cafés showcases its most premium café format - ‘The Coffee Day Square (CDS)’ in Delhi’s largest commercial hub, Connaught Place. This speciality format cafe is an offering that indulges the absolute coffee connoisseur. The Coffee Day Square or dearly referred to as CDS was showcased over an exclusive session on single origin coffees paired with appetizing food, with the very talented and versatile actress, Konkona Sen Sharma and Rhicha Sinha, Sr. Manager-Beverage Innovation, CCD.
CDS is a uniquely designed café that serves a variety of single origin coffee coffees from around the world in an environment which is comfortable and avant garde. Single origin coffees are procured from beans grown in a single location, giving the coffee uniformity. It is the business class of coffee drinking where each cup of coffee brings you the distinct flavour and richness capturing the essence and characteristics of its surroundings. This makes drinking it a deeply sensorial experience. The Coffee Day Square offers seven exquisite varieties of single origin coffees from Latin America, Africa and India.
Revel in the sublime, silky taste of ‘Costa Rican Tarrazu’ or indulge in a cup of ‘Colombian Supremo’ for an intense and vibrant brew. For a memorable experience opt for mild, soft textured ‘Ethiopian Sidamo’ with hints of caramel and chocolate or the delicate yet elegant cup of ‘Guatemala Antigua’, a tangy coffee with flavours of fruit, almonds, caramel and herbs. Amongst the Indian single-origins there is spicy ‘Rajgiri Pearl’ or ‘Indian Kathlekhan Superior’, a coffee with tangy undertones and notes of wild berries. Indulge in the bewitching taste of ‘Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold’; smooth and bright with flavours of chocolate and a hint of caramel.
To compliment this variety of premium coffees, CDS has skilfully created a delectable range of world cuisine. The menu includes a variety of appetizing nibbles and filling meals – Oriental, Indian & Continental, to pair with the premium selection of aromas. Connoisseurs can enjoy the marriage of tastes with timeless classics such as Nachos, Fries, Crispy Fried Chicken and Platters. For the bread lovers, who can’t let go of their sacred coffee, there is a selection of sandwiches that will satiate those pangs. One can choose from Chatpata Paneer Subs to Crispy Veggie Delight sandwiches or Roast Chicken.
Meals include the Mushroom Risotto, Khaow Suey, Milanese Pasta Bowl and more. There are pizzas as well with yummy topping alternatives for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. And of course, there’s something indulgent for every sweet tooth too!
Speaking on the occasion, Rhicha Sinha, Sr Manager-Beverage Innovation, CCD said, “Coffee making has become an art form, perfected over many years of roasting, blending, brewing and serving. The Coffee Day Square is a natural evolution for the brand having pioneered the coffee café concept in the country. It is only apt that we should have an exclusive café in India serving single origin coffees accompanied with delicious bites that pair well with these premium coffees. This cafe is for those that appreciate the distinct taste of brews and we are glad to be able to provide this experience.”
Said the enthralled Konkona, “’I’ve grown up on coffee – from the adda of Kolkata to the landmarks across the country there’s a CCD in positively every city I’ve been to. The Coffee Day Square is a complement to us coffee lovers who are ready for newer tastes and experiences. It’s great to see how the brand has evolved to include its audiences evolving preferences. The idea of single estate origin coffees is awesome – to pair it with world cuisine just makes it that much more warm an experience.”
The Coffee Day Square observes the highest standards of service and ambience to offer a one-of-a-kind experience to the Indian coffee connoisseur. The café is refined and minimalist in design and the furniture is eclectic and contemporary. The ambience is set in warm tones of coffee that is inviting to a coffee enthusiast.
