#BlueTokaiCommunityStories Continuing our series celebrating stories close to home, this one belongs to Mohit and Seema. 🌟 In 1978, their father, Prem Ji, cycled through the lanes of Hauz Khas with nothing but a basket of cauliflowers balanced on the back of his bicycle. That basket grew into what is now known as Prem Vegetable Stand, a familiar corner that has fed the neighbourhood for nearly five decades. Nothing here ever goes to waste; unsold greens find their way into the hands of friends or the compost pit at home. The scraps return to the soil, becoming fertiliser for the trees that shade the very street they sit on. So, the next time you’re at our Hauz Khas café, follow the scent of fresh produce and say hi to them. P.S. Got a neighbourhood story you love? DM us a photo and tell us what makes it special.💙 #BlueTokaiCommunityStories

This Children’s Day, we asked our café community about what they miss most about being a child, and the parts of themselves they had to give up to be who they are. We really appreciate the vulnerability that everyone we spoke to shared with us. Those conversations were a reminder for us too, to check in more with our inner child, and to give our adult selves more credit. What would your younger self think if they saw you today? Tell us in the comments. P.S. Happy Children’s Day! 💙 #bluetokaicommunity #childrensday #conversationsovercoffee #bluetokaicoffeeroasters #bluetokaicommunity #childrensday #conversationsovercoffee #bluetokaicoffeeroasters
Meet lot 3 from Nano-X ‘25, Garigekhan Estate - Cat 129. 💙 Our first release from Garigekhan Estate, this lot is special in more ways than one. It marks the estate’s first specialty crop with a new Arabica varietal, and showcases what close collaboration between roasters and producers can achieve. A vibrant cup lush with fruity layers, it brews best as a Pour Over, or using an AeroPress. We only have 40 packs of this rare coffee. Click the link in our bio to order yours.👀 P.S. Like all our rare coffees, you’ll find the resting period our roasters recommend for this coffee on our website.🙌 #nanolot3 #bluetokaicoffeeroasters #nanocoffeelaunch #nanolot3 #bluetokaicoffeeroasters #nanocoffeelaunch
With Children’s Day around the corner, we’ve been thinking about the joy of finding stories that still speak to us, no matter how old we get. We’ve always believed children’s books are for everyone — little worlds you can step into again and again, each time seeing something new. Sharing a few of our favourite stories that rhyme and sing, make you laugh, pause, and remember, in collaboration with @champacabooks 💫 And if you have a book that’s stayed with you since you were a child (or one you’ve discovered recently), share it in the comments — we’d love to hear about the stories that shaped your world. 💙✨ #childrensday #btbookclub #bookrecsofinstagram #childrensday #btbookclub #bookrecsofinstagram
As part of our series celebrating stories close to home, we’re proud to introduce you to Naeem. 💙 He’s the heart and hands behind Shamim & Sons, a fixture that’s been part of Defence Colony for over forty years. His father, Shamim Ji, opened the shop in 1983 after years of going door to door with just a sewing kit. Naeem was twelve then, and he’s been here ever since, keeping his father’s dream alive. Over the years, they’ve stitched for everyone, from presidents to Bollywood stars, but for Naeem, it’s the neighbourhood families that mean the most. Next time you’re at our Defence Colony café, take a short walk to meet him. 🥰 P.S. Have a neighbourhood landmark you love? DM us a photo and tell us what makes it special. ✨ #bluetokaicommunitystories #neighbourhoodstories #bluetokaibrews #bluetokaicommunitystories #neighbourhoodstories #bluetokaibrews
