The Coffee House at College Street

Since it's inception in 1942, this famous branch of the Indian Coffee Workers Co-operative at College Street has been frequented by the likes of Rabindranath Tagore, Subhas Chandra Bose, Satyajit Ray, Amartya Sen, Aparna Sen and others. The place exudes character—it is established in Albert Hall, a building dating from 1876, in a first-floor hall with over-hanging balconies and high ceiling fans, ochre coloured wall at one end and white liveried waiters serving interesting people.
