Eight drinks, ₹219 to ₹299, hot and iced. The useful question is not which is best — it is which one goes with what you are about to eat.
A pastry is a two-minute decision. A coffee is an hour. That difference is most of what separates a bakery counter from a café, and it is the reason the mezzanine upstairs exists at all.
It is also why we stay open late. On Fridays and Saturdays the counter runs to midnight, and by then most of Galleria has shut. A savoury scroll and a Spanish latte at eleven is a genuinely small club to be in.
Two of the eight are iced by design, two more can go either way, and the matcha is made with powder rather than syrup — which is why it tastes grassy instead of merely sweet.
Something bitter next to something sweet. Something plain next to something rich. One exception, at the bottom, that matches instead — and earns it.
Hot or iced where marked. Prices inclusive of GST.
Grata Bakehouse serves coffee until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and until 10pm the rest of the week, at Shop SF-098, First Floor, DLF Galleria. Most bakeries and cafés in the area close by 8pm, so the late window is genuinely limited — a savoury scroll and a Spanish latte at eleven on a Friday is a real option.
Yes. The Cappuccino and Latte are both available hot or iced, and three drinks are iced by design — the Classic Frappe at ₹259, the Salted Caramel Frappe at ₹299 and the Vietnamese Iced Coffee at ₹279. The Monsoon Mocha and Spanish Latte are served hot only.
It depends what you are eating, which is the point of the pairings on this page. On its own, the Vietnamese Iced Coffee at ₹279 is the most interesting drink on the menu — slow-brewed dark roast over ice with condensed milk, sweet on top and bitter underneath. If you want something plain to sit with, the Latte at ₹219 is the one.
The mezzanine upstairs is the quieter half of the room and the better place to sit for an hour. It gets busier in the evening and at weekends, so early afternoon on a weekday is the calmer window. Reserve a table if you want to be sure of a spot.
The Matcha Latte at ₹269 is made with matcha powder rather than a sweetened syrup base, which is why it reads grassy and slightly astringent rather than simply sweet — and why it works so well against the pistachio scroll.
