Bokka Coffee Bandra Review: The Ultimate Breakfast Spot & Celebrity Hotspot
If you’re on the hunt for a cozy café with a unique menu, look no further than Bokka Coffee. Nestled in the heart of Bandra, this café has been making waves for its exceptional coffee blends and innovative food options. It’s also a known celebrity hotspot! During my visit, I spotted actor Nakuul Mehta and his wife Jankee, casually enjoying their coffee, which added an exciting touch to the experience.
Last Saturday, I finally got a chance to visit Bokka Coffee, and while I had to wait 30 minutes to get a seat, the experience was more than worth it. The servers and the barista were absolutely amazing, making the wait feel like part of the experience rather than an inconvenience.
During my wait, I struck up a conversation with the barista, who suggested I try their signature coffee, ‘Top G.’ The name might sound quirky, but trust me, the taste is nothing short of extraordinary. As someone who isn’t a big coffee drinker, I was skeptical, but after just one sip, Bokka Coffee completely won me over.
Top G: A Coffee Like No Other
The Top G coffee at Bokka Coffee is an absolute game-changer. Imagine a blend of sugarcane juice, lemon, a strong espresso shot, and lemon zest—sounds unusual, right? But trust me, this combination works like magic. The natural sweetness of the sugarcane juice perfectly balances the bold espresso, while the lemon zest adds a refreshing zing. Every sip felt like a burst of flavors, making it one of the most unique coffees I’ve ever had.

Bokka Smash: A Must-Try Avocado Toast
Avocado toasts are everywhere in Mumbai, but the Bokka Smash at Bokka Coffee stands out from the crowd. Served on incredibly fresh and juicy sourdough bread, this dish is a delight for the taste buds. The toast is topped with fresh cherries, creamy mozzarella cheese, and a mix of seeds that add a delightful crunch. To elevate the flavor profile, the dish is drizzled with barbecue sauce, which gives it a sweet and tangy touch.
Alongside the toast, they serve a side salad, which was just okay—it didn’t quite match up to the vibrancy of the toast itself. However, the toast alone makes this dish a must-try for anyone visiting Bokka Coffee.

Greener Dosa: A Unique Take on a South Indian Classic
I was pleasantly surprised to find dosas on the menu at Bokka Coffee. They offer unique variations, including ‘Caprese’ and ‘Greener.’ Since I had already ordered an avocado toast, I opted for the Greener Dosa. This dish was an interesting fusion of South Indian and Mediterranean flavors. The dosa had a base of hummus and was topped with a mix of spinach and amaranth (rajgira), giving it an earthy, wholesome taste.
While the dosa itself was decent, the real highlight was the red chutney served alongside. It was bursting with flavor, adding the perfect kick to the dish. If you’re someone who enjoys healthy, experimental food, this dosa is worth a try.

Is Bokka Coffee Worth the Hype?
Absolutely! Bokka Coffee is not just a café; it’s an experience. From their innovative coffee blends to their carefully curated food menu, everything feels thoughtfully designed to give visitors a memorable time. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot to hang out with friends or even enjoy some quiet me-time.
However, if you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend avoiding weekends, as the café tends to get quite crowded. The waiting time can be a bit long, but if you go on a weekday, you’ll have a much more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
