Our Story

Built on legacy, brewed with purpose.

From specialized coffee machinery to a 24/7 hospital kiosk, to six cafés across two cities — the Coffee Dude story is one of quality, comfort, and connection.

The Beginning

Rooted in legacy,
driven by Kartik Misra

Coffee Dude is rooted in the vision and values of Late Mr. Kaushal Misra, who built a foundation in specialized coffee machinery and premium bean retail. His son, Mr. Kartik Misra, carried that expertise forward and founded Coffee Dude — transitioning the family's deep technical knowledge of coffee into a café experience for the modern Indian consumer.

The brand's defining milestone came early: a landmark 24/7, 100% vegetarian kiosk at a major government hospital — a decision that set the tone for everything that followed. It wasn't about chasing footfall in the easiest places; it was about being there, with comfort and quality, when it was needed most.

Fuelled by a passion for meaningful social connections, Coffee Dude flourished across Lucknow, becoming one of the city's most trusted coffee destinations before expanding into Noida — and now, towards Delhi.
