THE ISLAND STORY

Born from a passion for specialty coffee, Bombay Island crafts exceptional Indian coffees and immersive café experiences.

From a micro-roastery in 2018 to owning two premium specialty coffee experience centres in Mumbai, supplying high quality coffee beans and brewing solutions to over 150 cafés across India, our journey has always been rooted in craftsmanship.

our Journey

  • August 2018 · Malad Roastery
    Bombay Island began as one of Mumbai's few specialty coffee roasteries, driven by a simple intention, to serve genuinely good coffee to people.
     Every roast reflected our commitment to a better bean-to-cup experience. 
  • August 2021 · Vikhroli Cafe & Roastery
    Island 1  brought together our café, roastery, and Live Brew Bar under one roof. A place where coffee could be explored, enjoyed, and shared. It soon became a neighbourhood café where great coffee sparked conversations, connections, and a community.
  • October 2021 · Jio World Drive, BKC
    With our BKC Kiosk, Bombay Island found a home in the heart of the city.
    We welcomed new faces, familiar regulars, and countless conversations over coffee.
  • March 2026 · Central Kitchen
    As our community grew, so did our kitchen.
    Our Central Kitchen helped us bring the same quality and consistency to every dish we serve.
  • August 2026 · Andheri West
    Our Andheri West café marks the next chapter in the Bombay Island story. With Island 2, a new space, a fresh identity and coffee at the heart.
