Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters | Indiranagar, Domlur — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Well the newest coffee shop/ coffee roasters in town and so I paid a visit today 😁. This place can be good for both a friendly catchup or a business proposal discussion. A family can come here comfortably (the management has very gently asked customers to be mindful about other guests at the coffee shop and not play music or have conversations on loud speakers). They have an approachable staff, warm and courteous if I may say. Beautiful interiors with a very Indian feel to it. Tokai means the tail of a peacock in the Malabari language (source: Google). The pictures are uploaded to articulate my thoughts in a better way. The menu offers most items that other coffee shops offer to its customers- varieties of coffee, starters, all day breakfast options, main course.... but each coffee shop also has its unique taste to offer 😉 so you should certainly give it a shot. The portion size is large, two people can comfortably share a dish and it's better to do so in order to avoid wastage. You might end up spending 800 to 1000 for two which includes food and beverage. If only beverage then let's say it would be around 500 to 600. All their prices are inclusive of taxes. Parking at your own risk. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available. Vegan items are included as well...

A very cute place with good ambience. The music playing was also really good. The Baristas were really helpful and suggested to try the 'Chocolate and Salted Caramel Croissant.' They were very kind and were worried if the coffee was bad because I didn't sip on it for a while. They also have a variety of coffee beans/powders for sale along with filters papers and presses. The coffee cups they provided were very nice. Really liked holding them while drinking the Hot Chocolate.

What I ordered: • Chocolate and Salted Caramel Croissant. • Korean Bun. • Hot Chocolate (VEGAN). • Cold Brew with Milk.

The Chocolate and Salted Caramel Croissant was really flaky, soft and sweet. Would recommend trying this out. The almonds on top added to the taste. The Korean Bun sort of reminded me of the Garlic Breads from Pizza Hut. They were really soft and the filling inside tasted good. The Hot chocolate was thick and lacked a bit of sugar but they do provide sugar water in the side which can be added for taste. The cup they served the hot chocolate was very nice. The Cold Brew with Milk, is just something else, it was quite refreshing with generous amounts of coffee and milk. Hoping to have more...

I used to love Blue Tokai and was a regular. The Indiranagar branch, however, has turned me off the whole brand.

The staff are slow, negligent and bad at their jobs.

I asked for coffee beans to be ground for Aeropress while I was eating my breakfast. I was in a rush after, and paid and left with the coffee quickly, only to realize that they had given me whole beans, and had forgotten to grind them.

The food quality has slipped terribly. The mushroom scrambled eggs used to be one of my favourites. They're supposed to be soft, fluffy, curd-like, with enough cheese.

The eggs were hard, flavorless and there was negligible cheese.

When you charge the prices you do, both the service and food should be worth that.

Given the incredible cafés on that very road that offer excellent coffee and service, Blue Tokai should be upping its game. The staff is the biggest albatross here. Other than that, the space itself is uninspiring. The location is amazing, but the space feels cramped and soulless. Unlike the Koramangala branch, where the space is lovely, and the...
