No matter what time of the day it is, sipping a freshly-brewed delicious cup of coffee is always refreshing. If it’s made right, the best coffee gives you a heady sense of satisfaction. A whiff of roasted beans is thoroughly refreshing and meant to be savored and lingered over! This one’s for our fellow caffeine junkies who, like us, jealously guard their prime brew and are always on the prowl for the best coffee joints in town. Here are some of our favourite haunts to enjoy this sinful cup of beverage, be it any part of Delhi.
