About us Kumkat — Indian coffee and spicy desserts with soul

About us Kumkat — Indian coffee

Kumkat is the result of love for coffee, respect for the traditions of Indian cuisine and a passion for culinary experiments. The name of our coffee shop reflects the exoticism and rarity of the flavor combinations that you will find in every cup and every piece of dessert. We work directly with local farmers who hand-select berries to obtain the highest quality beans. Based on them, our baristas and pastry chefs create signature drinks and sweets that can surprise even the most sophisticated gourmets.

Our story

The idea of the Kumkat coffee shop was born from a simple but deep love for Indian coffee and the culture that surrounds it. It all started with a small family farm in the mountains of Karnataka, where ripe coffee berries were once hand-picked under the canopy of tropical forests. Their taste and aroma have forever remained in the memory of our founder - he grew up among these plantations and from childhood absorbed respect for the land, the work of farmers and the harmony that nature gives to man.

Years later, having left his native land and seen the world, he returned with the desire to convey to people the magic of Indian coffee and spicy sweets. This is how Kumkat appeared - a coffee shop that combines traditions, the experience of farming communities and modern culinary ideas. We started by searching for the perfect beans, working directly with farmers to support local communities, preserve the environment and guarantee first-class quality. Then we added experiments with pastries and desserts inspired by the spices, fruits and aromas of India.

Gradually, our coffee shop turned into a place where every cup is a memory of warm sunrises on high-mountain plantations, and every dessert is a hint of colorful bazaars and festivals of hometowns. We strive not only to give delicious coffee and treats, but also to create a cultural bridge between the far corners of India and our guests.

Today, Kumkat is a team of enthusiasts: baristas, pastry chefs, sommeliers, interior designers and event organizers. We are united by a common goal: to share with you inspiration, heritage and hospitality. This is the story - the path from a tropical farm to a cozy coffee shop - in every cup, every dessert, every moment spent together.

Our coffee

Indian coffee is a soft richness with shades of chocolate and spices, as well as a refined fruity sourness. We use different varieties and degrees of roasting to provide a variety of tastes: from velvety espresso to delicate filter coffee with subtle floral notes. We prepare each grain blend in small batches to preserve the freshness of the aroma and the richness of the bouquet. Our baristas will help you find the perfect drink — be it a classic cappuccino or a signature masala latte with cardamom.

Menu variety

We strive to satisfy the taste preferences of a wide variety of guests, so our menu combines both familiar world classics and signature items with a bright Indian character.

Coffee drinks: From traditional espresso, latte or cappuccino to Indian filter coffee, rich and velvety, reminiscent of tropical forests and the light sweetness of local sugar cane plantations.

Signature spice lattes: We offer original options, where the creamy softness of milk meets spicy notes of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger or saffron. Masala latte, cardamom raf or spicy "tea-coffee" with a hint of citrus - all this expands the boundaries of familiar coffee flavors.

Desserts with Indian flavor: Eclairs with cardamom cream, chocolate brownies with a hint of masala, tartlets with mango coulis and pistachios - each delicacy reflects the richness of local traditions. Spicy accents in pastries remind us of the fragrant markets of India, and fruit and nut combinations give a new gastronomic experience.

Light pastries and hearty treats: In addition to desserts, we prepare delicate muffins with saffron and cardamom, airy buns with rose water and sesame, as well as samosas with nuts and dried fruits for those who prefer less sweet, but still aromatic snacks. Each of these options perfectly complements your drink, creating harmonious flavor pairs.

Together, this creates a menu in which it is easy to find “your” taste – be it a classic espresso without additives or an unexpected dessert with a spicy accent, surprising with new combinations and textures.

Selected raw materials

It is important for us that each guest, trying drinks and desserts, feels the true taste and purity of the ingredients. That is why we establish direct contacts with farmers who treat the cultivation of coffee trees with care and attention, carefully monitor the collection and processing of berries. We choose regions with ideal conditions for the development of coffee plantations - high mountain slopes, rich soils, suitable climate and abundant rains, allowing the beans to ripen evenly and acquire deep flavor nuances.

We also select raw materials for desserts with special care. Farms and trusted suppliers supply us with spices, fruits, nuts and dairy products of the highest quality. Each batch of ingredients undergoes careful control and sorting so that only the freshest and best products reach the kitchen.

This philosophy of working with raw materials allows us to guarantee a stable and high quality standard. As a result, every sip of our coffee, every treat from the pastry chef is an accurate reflection of the richness of nature, the labor invested and the desire for perfection at every stage of production.

Individual recommendations

Our goal is to make every guest feel that their taste preferences are important and heard. To achieve this, we pay special attention to dialogue: our baristas, sommeliers and pastry chefs are ready to help you make an informed choice, guided by your preferences. Do you like a rich espresso or prefer a softer and creamier latte with added spices? Do you want to try a new dessert with fruity notes or stay true to the classic taste of chocolate?

The Kumkat coffee shop staff does not just list the items from the menu - they ask leading questions, clarify which flavors, levels of sweetness or strength you prefer, whether there are special requests for ingredients or dietary restrictions. They then suggest options that best suit your needs. Perhaps you will be recommended a masala latte with subtle spicy tones, highlighted by an airy eclair with cardamom cream. Or, if you are looking for something refreshing, a fruit tart with seasonal berries, paired with a light filter coffee with floral notes.

In this way, each visit becomes a small gastronomic discovery – we strive to create for you the perfect “drink + dessert” pairing, in which each element emphasizes the merits of the other and reflects your personal taste and mood.
