Barista - Cafe in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

Barista once used to be the Starbucks of India when Starbucks were not in India. Always following the luxury of Starbucks, they were crazy expensive at that time and it's still same. I'm not very fond of coffee so whenever I go to a cafe I try their pasta, sandwich and shakes. I went to this New Market outlet and I must say the ambiance is quite nice and cosy. I ordered their popular Junglee Chicken Sandwich and Mango Affair from their signature collection. The Sandwich bread was bit too toasty and seemed bit too crispy than my liking. Some leafy green vegetables-based staffing with ample chicken tasted bit odd. Some might or might not like it. But Mango Affair was amazing, fabulous drink to try. Don't get me wrong their quality is good but it's overpriced. Whatever you order you'll feel you're paying way too much than it's worth. There are cafes give much better experience than them at lot cheaper price. As they're expensive I took a deal from Nearbuy but they hesitate to take it at first but later they accepted it. Per person cost is around Rs.600-700.

Horrible experience, no redeeming qualities at all. Overpriced food, terrible taste and quantities. The Tiramisu Shake was sickeningly sweet, the Barista Frappe was unpleasantly bitter with no depth or warmth of coffee. The cookies were dry and crumbly with no flavour at all. The Junglee Chicken Sandwich had little to no filling and was definitely not a sandwich worth Rs. 230. Only the Cheesy Chicken Mushroom Toastie was somewhat edible, but again the topping was sparse and no mushrooms were present. I definitely do not recommend this place to anyone.

It's located on the busy street of the new market area, just opposite to the shreeram market. Though it has both on the ground floor and first floor sitting arrangements still it's a small joint and good for a quick bite. Half of the menu was not available on a busy day like in the afternoon and evening time, that's another drawback. Still it's a nice, photogenic place. Ordered two cups of coffee and chatted for more than an hour as two cups of coffee cost around 500/- rs so it was mostly not a place where anybody would go randomly.

A bit expensive but good place for coffee dates and is also an escape from the crowded market area. The service here is also impressive.

Nice place. Fast service, food quality is delicious but price is high. Perfect cafe for hangout.

One of the good cafe at Esplanade. Good ambience, clean and well maintained. Staff were professional and well mannered. Food taste was as good as ambience. If you are in Esplanade area, you must visit this place. Taste : 4/5 Ambience : 4/5 Hospitality : 4.5/5

Recently I visited this cafe . It was well maintained and nice ambiance. Stuff behaviour is also good

One of the affordable and beautiful cafe. It is located near my college. Their ambience are very good. Food is worth the price. They have lots of games do visit with your friends or family.
