Tucked away in the lively heart of South 24 Parganas, 8th Day Café & Bakery is fast becoming the region’s most talked-about hideout for coffee devotees and pastry hunters. Housed in a sun-washed corner lot, the café marries the comforting aroma of single-estate Indian arabica with the buttery perfume of oven-fresh croissants, drawing students, artists and remote-workers into its mosaic-tiled interior. From slow-dripped Coorg pourovers to Kolkata-inspired mishti croissant hybrids, every plate and cup tells a story of local terroir meeting global technique.

Tucked away on Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose Road in Elgin, 8th Day Café & Bakery brings a quiet, European-style charm to Kolkata’s coffee scene: exposed brick, warm filament bulbs and the steady hum of an Italian espresso machine set the mood for single-origin pour-overs, flaky almond croissants and small plates like pesto-chicken panini that taste fresher than most hotel cafés. The 4.3-star buzz is deserved—baristas know their beans, vegan desserts are house-made daily, and the free Wi-Fi is actually fast enough for a working lunch; snag a window seat, order a flat white and a slice of the baked New York cheesecake, and you’ll see why locals treat this 06-shopfront as their weekday living room.

More information
Where exactly is 8th Day Café & Bakery located in Kolkata?
The café sits at Arcadia, 6 Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose Road in the Elgin neighbourhood of central Kolkata, West Bengal 700017, India, a leafy stretch that’s minutes from Victoria Memorial and the metro, making it easy to find on foot, by cab or via the +91 84209 99544 helpline if you need last-minute directions.
Does 8th Day Café roast its own coffee, and what beans are used?
We partner with Indian estate farms in the Bababudangiri and Coorg hills, bring the green beans to Kolkata, and small-batch roast them in-house every week so that every espresso, pour-over or cold brew carries the seasonal terroir of the Western Ghats rather than a generic import.
Is the bakery menu fully vegetarian, and are eggless options available?
While we serve free-range egg pastries, roughly 60 % of the display case is vegetarian and clearly tagged, and custom eggless cakes can be pre-ordered 24 h in advance through the site or a quick call to +91 84209 99544.
What are the opening hours, and do I need a reservation on weekends?
Doors open 8 a.m.–10 p.m. daily, and although walk-ins are welcome, brunch slots on Saturday & Sunday fill fast; securing a table through 8thdaycafe.com or WhatsApp is recommended if you want to guarantee a cosy corner amid the 4.3-star weekend buzz.
