A coffee shop is not just a place to drink coffee and leave. It’s an experience. There are stories, emotions, laughter, friendships and so much more that goes into creating the ambience and vibes of a coffee shop. And if you get that perfect brew in a mug, you get the feeling, “everything is going to be alright.”
Catch up with friends, hang out with family, sort out our cravings, or have a romantic date with partner; a visit to a coffee shop is all it takes.
For so many reasons, sipping a hot cup of coffee on the weekend in a café is inevitable. If you are a Hyderabadi, you are fortunate to have outstanding cafes. So if you’re visiting the city of Nizams, you must know about the top coffee shops there. So, we made a list of the 12 best coffee shops in Hyderabad that you simply can’t afford to miss.
1. The Hole In The Wall Cafe
It was 8 in the morning when my sister was craving English breakfast and coffee. I was like, “who opens the café so early in the morning!” But, you know how sisters are; they never give up. That’s when we found this beautiful café which opens at 8:30 AM.
The Hole In The Wall Cafe, located in Jubilee Hills, has outdoor and indoor seating with gorgeous art walls. My favourite part of the cafe are the swing chairs, where you can spend hours without getting bored. Also, the cafe has fun games and books to kill your time because they take quite some time to serve the food.
Now let’s talk about food. After all, we are here to satisfy our cravings. We ordered English breakfast, triple chocolate pancakes, waffles with Nutella, and watermelon cooler, which were pretty good. This is one of the best coffee shops in Hyderabad that serves an amazing American breakfast.
If you’re planning to visit the cafe on Mondays, please don’t. Just like you and me, they hate Mondays too. If you are looking for a cozy place to hang out with your friends while having brunch, this place is a must-try.
Location: Rina Rd, Road, 45 8-2-293/82/A/1355/F, Rd Number 45, Jubilee Hills
Average cost for two people: Rs.700
2. Hummingbird Cafe
Sometimes people visit cafes just for the sake of pictures, and I won’t lie; I am one of them too. What about you?
Hummingbird Cafe in Madhapur is one the most popular coffee shops in Hyderabad that gives you ample content for your Instagram post. The cafe welcomes you with white walls and pastel elements. The soothing music makes the whole vibe so cozy. They also have board games and books keep you entertained. What I like the most about this cafe is it has a boutique next door. So it’s like an icing on the cake, isn’t it?
If you don’t interrupt, I can talk about shopping for hours. But, let’s just put shopping aside and come to food. I must say, the food here is really tasty and affordable. We had ordered broccoli cheese omelet, chicken soup, and smoky sizzler, which are super delicious. So, why not visit the place, enjoy some mouth-watering food, and click some amazing pictures. Your Instagram feed is sorted for the next two days.

3. Autumn Leaf Cafe
If you want to spend your winter evening in the lap of nature with dim lights, music, a hot cup of coffee, and delicious food, Autumn Leaf Cafe in Jubilee Hills is the perfect place for you. The ambiance is to die for! If you are often guilty of leaving your pet at home while you are enjoying being outside – then I have good news! The cafe is pet-friendly.
We went there on a rainy winter evening, and it was the best cafe experience I’ve ever had. We had chicken piccata, frittata, and red velvet pancakes which impressed my taste-buds. If you are a nature lover, you probably may not find a better coffee shop in Hyderabad than this.

4. The Roastery Coffee House
Work from home is the need of the hour, but working from a coffee shop is what we love. The Roastery Coffee House, as the name tells, is a house that has turned into a coffee shop. The plant decorations and peaceful atmosphere over the cafe and, of course, the coffee breaks in between will boost your productivity, pushing you to work faster and more effectively.
If not for work, evening would be the perfect time to hang out with your friends and family. The inviting aroma of coffee will just leave you with a “wow” feeling! You have a plethora of food options to choose from, and my personal favourites are chicken wings and garlic bread.
The Roastery Coffee House adds to the list of most homely coffee shops in Hyderabad. Visit this wonderful place in Banjara Hills once, and you’ll be amazed.

5. Chit Chat Chai
Not everyone is a coffee lover. Some like to sip on a hot cup of masala chai. I know, finding the best coffee shops in Hyderabad that serve spicy chai is not so easy. But, your search ends here. Chit Chat Chai, located in Jubilee Hills, has a splendid range of teas from ice tea, lemon tea to ginger tea, mango ice tea, and plenty of food options. This coffee shop has indoor, outdoor, and rooftop seating. Obviously the latter is my favourite.
The bad part about higher education is we stay away from our homes. This cute little cafe has been my go-to comfy place whenever I miss my home. You should try their Maggi and sandwiches.
