Green hills and forest at dawn in coffee country

Our coffee

Sourced from the hills of India.

We buy green coffee straight from small estates in Araku Valley, Baba Budangiri and the Khasi hills of Meghalaya, and roast it ourselves in small batches every Monday. Arabica for the pour-overs, a little Robusta in the house blend for the kick Kolkata likes in its milk coffee.

Every bag on the shelf says the estate, the altitude and the week it was roasted. If it is older than a month, it doesn't go in your cup.

Bakehouse

Baked fresh, every single morning.

Our bakers are in before sunrise, which is where the name comes from: bhor means dawn. Laminated croissants, slow sourdough and a few Kolkata ideas we couldn't resist, like a nolen gur cinnamon bun in winter and a mishti doi cheesecake all year.

Small batches, and most days the trays are empty by noon. Order ahead if you want the last pain au chocolat.

“The Araku pour-over is the best cup I've had in Kolkata. I order on the way and it's on the counter when I walk in.”

Ishita R., Ballygunge

“Croissant that actually shatters. The nolen gur bun sells out by eleven, so I order it the night before.”

Sayan B., weekend regular

“Good plugs, good Wi-Fi, nobody rushes you. My Wednesday office.”

Before you come

Good to know.

How does ordering ahead work?

Choose your items and a pickup time, then send the order. We reply on WhatsApp to confirm and call your name at the pickup counter when it's ready.

How do I pay?

At the counter when you collect, by UPI, card or cash. Nothing is charged online.

Do you have plant milk?

Yes, oat milk for any milk drink for ₹40 extra. Pick it on the menu.

Can I order a whole cake or a big box?

For cakes, or orders of more than 10 coffees, message us a day ahead so the bakehouse can plan.

Do you deliver?

Not yet. We'd rather you get your coffee hot, so it's pickup or dine-in only.
