With Delhi NCR’s buzzing café culture, brunch here has become less of a meal and more of a weekend ritual
There’s something truly special about weekend brunch. Sure, the pancakes, eggs, and strong coffee are part of the charm, but it’s really about pressing pause on the week, slowing down, soaking in the moment, and letting conversations flow as easily as the hours slip by. With Delhi NCR’s buzzing café culture, brunch here has become less of a meal and more of a weekend ritual. If you’re planning a date that deserves more than just coffee, here are five spots that fit the vibe perfectly.
FES Café, Gurgaon, Greater Kailash
FES Café, a dessert-first brand bringing New York’s chunkiest cookies to India, has a charm that makes you want to stay longer than planned. With its vibrant interiors, cozy corners, and streams of natural sunlight, it’s the perfect backdrop for lazy weekend mornings or catch-ups that stretch into hours. The menu strikes just the right balance between indulgence and freshness, think melt-in-your-mouth cookies, perfectly brewed coffee, and decadent desserts that tempt you to skip lunch altogether. Add to that a vibe that’s effortlessly Instagram-worthy, and you’ll know why FES is a Gen Z favorite. It’s the kind of place where one coffee turns into two, brunch blends into afternoon, and you walk out already looking forward to your next visit.
Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters
For many Delhi dwellers, Blue Tokai is more than just a café; it’s a coffee ritual. Known for putting Indian-origin beans on the global map, their roasteries around the city are filled with the aroma of freshly ground coffee. Couple that with a simple but dependable brunch menu, eggs, sourdough toasts, and freshly baked bread—and you’ve got a place that feels comfortable yet never fails. Perfect if your brunch date starts (and ends) with excellent coffee.
Seven Seeds Café, Gurgaon
Seven Seeds is one of those hidden treasures that feels like a welcome break from Gurgaon’s madness. With its earthy interiors and laid-back ambiance, the café emphasizes comfort food at its best: fluffy pancakes, hearty sandwiches, and juices that taste like sunshine in a glass. It’s unpretentious, welcoming, and quietly lovely, ideal for couples who prefer real conversations over posing for Instagram.
Third Wave Coffee
If you’re looking to style your brunch with a touch of contemporary minimalism, Third Wave Coffee has you covered. Sleek interiors, soft lighting, and the aroma of freshly brewed cups set the tone. The menu offers both health-conscious options like grain bowls and sandwiches, as well as indulgent croissants and desserts. It’s welcoming, dependable, and perfectly casual for a laid-back date.
Elma’s Café, Hauz Khas Village
Walking into Elma’s feels like stepping into a storybook. The china is floral, the cakes are elegantly displayed on stands, and the air smells of sugar and nostalgia. Known for its English-inspired breakfasts, buttery scones, and famed red velvet cake, Elma’s is unabashedly old-fashioned in the most charming way. Cozy and romantic, it’s perfect for couples seeking a brunch with a touch of old-world romance.
