Mazi, in Mumbai, is here to become Gen-Z’s favourite coffee spot

The coffee scene in India is thriving and evolving beyond traditional offerings. People are now seeking cafes that serve more niche beverages, venturing past the usual cold coffee or cappuccino. Think of a well-crafted iced latte, a mocha frappe, or even a boba-based coffee drink that Gen Z loves. Mazi, the latest hotspot in Juhu, caters to this demand with its exceptional coffee and remarkable food.

As you step into Mazi, you'll be captivated by its vibe. The beige walls, rich brown accents, and soothing lighting create an inviting atmosphere, and the coffee bar at the back signals that this will be your new favorite hangout spot. At the center of the café, a large community table invites people from different walks of life to interact. A cosy book corner stocked with classics completes the setup. These elements make it clear that Mazi is perfect for any occasion, whether you're alone, with friends, on a date, or just looking for a place to be on a Monday morning or a Friday night.

Mazi, the brainchild of Shashank Kadam, Shonali Kewalramani, and Gaurav Golechha, has turned out exactly as they envisioned. At the launch of the café-restaurant, the founders shared their vision of creating a place where people feel at home as soon as they step in. They want Mazi to be a welcoming retreat, a place where guests can relax, connect, and enjoy exceptional food and coffee. And we can attest, the place embodies all of this. You’ll sense it in the laughter of the people around you, the quiet tapping of laptop keys, the soft rustling of book pages and, of course, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and delicious food.
 

Their menu draws inspiration from global cuisines—you can expect everything from an absolutely juicy peri-peri burger and a flavorful Mediterranean mezze platter to classics like pasta. The coffee offerings here range from espressos to Americanos and also include unique options like Red Velvet Cappuccino, Coffee Blast Bobas, and Moonlight Lavender brew. The Coffee Blast Boba, in particular, is a must-try.

But if you're a tea enthusiast, fret not! Mazi has you covered with options like Earl Grey, Moroccan Mint, and more on its menu.

If we had to sum it up, Mazi is just like the iconic Central Perk from Friends, with better aesthetics and tastier food. And really, this should be all the convincing you need to give this place a try at least once.
