This study explores the Indian Coffee House, potentially the world's first coffee house chain, through a blend of oral history, fiction, and Coffee Board records. It provides a critical analysis of adda—informal gatherings—among the educated middle class in cities like Allahabad, Calcutta, and Delhi, highlighting the cultural and social dynamics of these spaces. The work delves into the significance of these coffee houses as sites of intellectual exchange and community interaction.
