DELHI, India – Blue Tokai, India’s leading specialty coffee brand, is stepping beyond its core cafe model with the launch of Blue Tokai Origins, a new experience built for people to slow down and taste the story behind their food. The first Origins cafe has opened on Ireo Grand View High Street, First Floor, Sector-58, Gurugram.
“Origins is where everything we’ve been building over the last decade comes together — the coffee, the craft, the community, the partners. It’s not just a larger cafe; it’s a space to slow down, try something new, and reconnect with what you love about coffee, alongside the warmth of a live bakery and an artisanally crafted menu with locally sourced ingredients. Every detail, from the brewing bar to the live bakery, has been designed to deepen the experience of connection and flavour,” said Shivam Shahi, Co-founder, Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters.
Inside Blue Tokai Origins Spread across 2,000 square feet, Origins is designed as a sensorial, layered space that deepens Blue Tokai’s promise of craft and transparency. Guests will find experiences curated to highlight the process and people behind every offering.
Set apart from the main coffee counter where espresso-based drinks are served, Origins features a dedicated manual brewing station called the Play Bar. With the most extensive selection of manual brewing techniques ever introduced in a Blue Tokai space, coffee lovers can now taste their way through seven distinct methods, including the Chemex, Syphon, Slow Drip, and more. Each method brings out unique facets of coffee, from the body to the acidity, and is explained by trained baristas.
Adding to this experience is the Nitro Cold Brew tap, serving chilled, nitrogen-infused single-origin cold brew, crafted using the Baby Hardtank, a patented technology that extracts a wider range of flavour compounds.
At the Play Bar, some of Blue Tokai’s rarest lots, frozen at peak flavour, are preserved in a temperature-controlled space called The Coffee Cellar. The selection includes some of Blue Tokai’s highest-scoring coffees, including lots that are shared as part of their coveted Producer Series. These are brewed exclusively as Pour Overs using tailored recipes to bring out their best.
Live Bakery by Suchali’s Artisan Bakehouse A standout part of the Origins experience is the live, glass-walled bakery, run by Suchali’s Artisan Bakehouse. From smell to sight, the bakery adds a warm, sensory layer to the space. Here, visitors can witness the process of craft baking, unfolding live. Hand-shaped sourdough loaves, twice-baked croissants, cookies, and beyond are crafted here from scratch.
The artisanal breads baked here are slow fermented using natural cultures. They are also available for customers to take home, fresh off the rack.
