Tucked into the pine-scented hills of Meghalaya, Suburb is less a café than a slow-breathing pocket of calm where Shillong’s coffee culture quietly resets its compass. Inside the slate-roofed cottage, local growers’ beans meet small-batch roasts, turning every cup into a low-hum conversation between terroir and technique. Mist presses against the windows, guitars lean in corners, and the scent of baker’s butter drifts over hand-thrown mugs—proof that India’s third-wave coffee movement has slipped out of the metros and found a hillside home.
