A #celeb hot spot, known for its fabulous coffee, #Bokka was in the list since its opening. It’s a small yet a charming café. Located close to Pali hill, in the vicinity of Bombay Salad Co. and the good old (now shut down) Hawaiian Shack, Bokka can be missed if you do not pay attention.
It’s the perfect place to catch up with your friends. Wouldn’t say suitable for a date, especially on weekends, because there is a good waiting. Also tends to get noisy with not the music but people’s chatter.
The look and feel of Bokka is very chic. Staff is pretty good, patient and the hospitality is good.
We went there on a Sunday evening. It was packed and we had to wait for almost half an hour for a table for four.
The coffee is listed in the menu as per the origin. Such as Malabar blend from Karnataka, Kaveri blend from Pulney Hills, Tamilnadu etc. You can also read details about your coffee such as the type of roast, processing method and the flavour notes etc.
The 18 hr cold drip, which you can see in a huge coffee apparatus is the most popular one among the regulars.
For eg. Here is what your 18hrs cold blend would be like-

Here is what we had from their coffee menu
1. Hot Machiato
2. Hot Mocha
3. Vietnamese Cold Brew
4. Cappuccino
All of these were outstanding!
From the food menu, here is what we ordered
1. Sourdough Avocado Toast
2. Truffle Shroom Sandwich
3. Croissant
4. Éclair
Croissant was beautifully flaky and light. Both the toast and sandwich were served with a side of Salad, are were packed with flavour.
The only thing we did not like was the carrot cake.
Highlight of the menu is they have health food options. So you will spot a lot of gulton free items.
They do have an extensive breakfast menu, options for smoothies, bowls, wraps etc.
Verdict
One of the best coffees in Mumbai for sure!
