Third Wave Coffee, among India’s fastest-advancing specialty coffee chains, has made its debut in Ahmedabad with the opening of two cafés in the bustling localities of CG Road and Prahlad Nagar. The expansion strengthens the brand’s presence in the western region, complementing its existing outlet at Ahmedabad airport and its established base across Mumbai and Pune.
With more than 195 cafés operating across 12 cities, the brand’s move into Ahmedabad marks a key step in deepening its footprint beyond major metros and strengthening its presence in high-growth urban markets. At the launch, Rajat Luthra, CEO of Third Wave Coffee, said, “We’re delighted to introduce Third Wave Coffee to Gujarat. Ahmedabad’s vibrant culture, warmth, and growing love for premium coffee perfectly align with our brand values. We’re excited to become part of this city’s thriving café landscape and hope to earn the same loyalty we’ve received in other regions.”
True to its coffee-centric approach, Third Wave Coffee brings its signature brews crafted from responsibly sourced beans. To complement the experience, the brand has introduced a Gujarat-exclusive, fully vegetarian food menu tailored for the city’s preferences. The spread includes favourites like Bun Maska, classic puffs, indulgent desserts such as Shrikhand Cheesecake, Biscoff Brownie, pastries, mousse cups, and a wide selection of artisanal vegetarian wraps, pizzas, sandwiches, quesadillas, and croissant creations. Smoothie bowls, soft gelato, and a diverse waffle range round out the offerings.
Both cafés have been designed as warm, contemporary spaces with more than 50 seats each—ideal for work sessions, relaxed gatherings, or casual conversations. Mr Luthra added, “As we continue our nationwide expansion, our purpose remains the same—bringing exceptional coffee closer to consumers, whether in our cafés or through home-brewing. Expansion is not just about presence; it’s about understanding local tastes, deepening relationships, and creating inviting spaces where people can slow down and enjoy their coffee. Ahmedabad marks another important step in that journey.”
Ahmedabad’s evolving café culture—shaped by a young demographic, strong community spirit, and rising appetite for premium, experience-driven spaces—makes it a significant market in India’s growing coffee scene. With its entry into the city, Third Wave Coffee strengthens its mission to offer high-quality, community-focused café experiences to coffee enthusiasts across the country.
