This thriving, upwardly mobile neighborhood perfectly captures the spirit of our brand—refined yet approachable, contemporary yet community driven. This opening is not just about coffee; it’s about creating meaningful moments, one neighborhood at a time. Bringing a taste of Europe to India, one cup at a time.”

Pratyush Sureka, Founder, Vita Nova, added, “Coffee Island is not just about coffee, it’s about fostering lifestyle experiences. Golf Course Extension Road is at the heart of Gurugram’s high-street renaissance, and with AIPL Joy Central’s dynamic mix of retail, food, and culture, this location aligns perfectly with our vision of shaping how modern India engages with the café format.”

The brand also features a diverse range of retail products, including Cold Brews, Proffees (Protein Coffee), Iced Tea, Pour Overs, Ready to Eat and Craft Chocolates in its café with eco-conscious architecture to minimize environmental impact. With its growing global presence and purpose-driven mission, Coffee Island is not just brewing coffee, it’s brewing change.
