Hidden in the mist-wrapped lanes of Dhankheti, Karak Chaa Café distills Meghalaya’s coffee renaissance into one clay cup: locally grown arabica slow-brewed with smoked bamboo shoot, ginger and wild honey, then pulled through sock filters until it foams like a winter cloud. Step off Shillong’s tourist trail, duck under prayer-flag awnings and taste how Khasi growers turned backyard beans into India’s most surprising brew.

What kind of coffee experience can I expect here?

Are there vegan or dairy-free choices on the menu?
Yes, the barista keeps oat and soy milk on standby, and you can swap out the traditional condensed milk for these options without losing the bold, spiced finish that defines their brew.
Is seating available, or is it purely takeaway?
