Devan’s – Unmatched Premium Indian Coffee

Devans Khanna Market Coffee Experience Review

Devans is a nice cosy cafe in New Khanna Market, Lodhi Road. They have been Delhi’s coffee roasters since 1962. So, backed by a great coffee heritage.

They source coffee from the best growing regions across the world, coffees that are widely acknowledged and demanded. They are coffee roasters so the roasting process is inhouse.

On this visit, I had the Vietnamese Coffee with milk and thought it was a excellent brew. It was a tad cold though for my liking initially.

But the microwave came in handy. On the other hand, my friend who made me tag along had a cold brew which was equally splendid.

The owner present at the counter knew his coffee. He helped choose my to-go-home blend according to my palette.

The clincher on this visit was feeling nostalgic. Having delicious coffee, soothing ambiance, and friendly vibes from the baristas were a bonus.

The History

Devan’s at Lodhi have been coffee roasters for three generations. They were established in 1962. They are the only craft antique company in the coffee industry.

I remember visiting them during my childhood often. But, on moving to Gurgaon the visits became seldom and then stopped.

The shop that they have converted into the cafe used to be one of the only places to get your snagged transformers rewound in New Delhi.

Dad used to go to Khanna Market for this salvage with mom and me in tow. And, that too on a two-wheeler. That’s how I got acquainted with Devan’s Coffee.

It came back home with us many times. Though, I met their brilliant cafe on this particular visit after many many years. The coffee bar serves 20 different coffees and customers can find something new every time they visit Devan’s.

Today, you can buy various kinds of fresh coffee blends as well as beans at Devan’s. Tea connoisseurs can get their hand on tea leaves too. They also stock coffee accessories and products.

These include French presses and an Italian Moka pots and dainty looking coffee cups.

The legacy continues. Devan’s is still THE place to source rich, authentic coffee that satiates your coffee cravings. 

The Ambience at Devan’s at Lodhi

The store is warm and inviting with the owners at the helm. Its divided into two parts – the store and the cafe. It’s reliably clean and the staff is attentive and if you want “indulging” too.

The cafe is lined up with well appointed machines and tools that create the signature coffee magic for you.
