Cafe Hopping Made Easy! Check Out Cafes That Are Just A Walk Away From Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line!

We all love a good cafe-hopping adventure, but let’s be real, nothing kills the vibe faster than juggling multiple modes of transport. First, you’re hopping on the metro, then switching lines, and finally haggling with an auto-rickshaw driver to get you to your destination. Oh, and don’t get us started on the expensive cabs and maddening Delhi traffic. What if we told you there’s a way to cafe-hop with just one ride on the metro? Yep, you heard that right! Say hello to the Yellow Line, secretly known as Delhi’s favourite metro line and its gem-like cafes that are just a short stroll away from the stations. No, we are not just talking about Rajiv Chowk as that isn’t the only metro stop with cafes a few steps away. Turns out, Delhi’s full of metro stations serving great food just a short walk (under 1 km of distance to be specific) out of the gate. Ready for a smooth, traffic-free cafe crawl? Let’s dive in!
