While Gilmore Girls is my comfort show, one of the many reasons I enjoy watching it is for the number of coffee references made by Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. Lorelai once said, “If it was physically possible to make love to a hot beverage, this would be the one.” And I couldn’t agree more.
For many of us, coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a daily ritual, a saviour before Monday morning meetings, or the perfect pick-me-up when you’re having a bad day. And everyone has that go-to spot whose coffee they swear by. While we usually are the ones to share our recommendations, this time we thought why not pass the baton? This International Coffee Day, we asked our ELLE viewers to share their favourite places to grab coffee in their city. Whether you’re away from your hometown or simply visiting another city for a business trip, our audience has made sure you get your caffeine dose everywhere. When you don’t know where to go, turn to this list of the must-visit coffee spots in India.
