Looking to buy coffee grounds/beans?

Stores in Calcutta that sell coffee

  1. If you are planning to buy coffee bean grounds in Calcutta, your best bet is to check out the South Indian grocery stores in the Lake Market—Rashbehari Avenue area. This LBB Kolkata article has compiled a nice list of stores along with their Google Maps locations. This should get you started. Try out a few shops and a few different blends to see what you like best.
  2. Another option is to buy coffee from Cafe Coffee Day. CCD is also a brand from South India, but their pricings are on the higher side. Some of their blends are great and it will still be cheaper than ordering online.

Look for a blend of Peaberry (PB) and Plantation-A coffee beans. If you plan to make filter coffee it is traditionally a mix of coffee and chicory (80:20 is ideal).

Online stores that deliver coffee

If you want to try out some of the newer online sellers, take a look at the ones below. Bear in mind that online coffee prices can be more expensive especially when you take the delivery charges into account.

  1. Blue Tokai—this according to most is one of the best options.
  2. Devan’s
  3. Leo Coffee—traditional South Indian brand
  4. Indian Bean
  5. Cotha’s Coffee—traditional South Indian brand

A fun, private community for enthusiasts of Bengali food

We're building a community

With Bong Eats adda we are trying to create a quiet corner on the internet for people who love nothing more than cooking and feeding people. The focus is naturally on Bengali and South Asian food, but as anyone who has spent time with food and its history knows, everything in food is interconnected. Nowhere is this more true than in Bengal, the melting point of so many cultures of the world—home to the first "global cuisine", as food historian Pritha Sen puts it. If that sounds like just the place you have been looking for, come help us build this space together. We are just getting started.
