Third Wave Coffee opens 11 cafes in one day
This brings the coffee chain to 165 cafes across 12 cities.
Third Wave Coffee announced the launch of 11 new cafes across Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai and Mysuru, all launched on a single day.
With these additions, the brand now operates 165 cafes across 12 cities. This expansion pushes the brand past the 150-store milestone achieved in FY2025.
According to the brand, the new cafes reflect Third Wave Coffee’s growing traction in established markets like Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad, whilst also strengthening its presence in emerging hubs such as Chennai and Mysuru, where the brand made its debut last year.
These cafes are strategically located in high-footfall urban neighbourhoods as well as key transit zones, marking Third Wave Coffee’s foray into mobility-led locations with its newest café on the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway.
“Last year, we also commissioned a new roastery with 8× automation capability, significantly enhancing our capacity to support up to 700 stores. These efforts have led to stronger store-level ROI and a more disciplined, scalable growth model,” Rajat Luthra, CEO at Third Wave Coffee, said.
The expansion is part of the group’s plans to open 100 new cafes.
