Forget The Usual Cappuccino And Try These Creative, Offbeat Coffee Places Across Delhi NCR

Let’s be honest, most of us treat coffee like fuel. Grab, sip, repeat. However, Delhi’s café scene has outgrown the basic cappuccino and now serves coffee that’s playful, artsy, and downright unpredictable. From strawberry-cheese lattes to brews tucked inside design museums, these 10 offbeat coffee spots are not your regular coffee haunts. They’re the kind of spots that make you pause, Instagram your cup, and maybe even rethink what coffee can be.

1. Joie 

Walk into Joie, and it’s like your coffee just threw a surprise party. Their Strawberry Cheese Latte is an iced latte swirled with strawberry purée and crowned with cheeky cheese foam. It’s a dessert pretending to be a caffeinated companion, and your taste buds are not ready. It’s fruity, creamy, salty in all the right ways.
