Have you ever had an experience of “oh-my-God-this-is-gonna-be-bad” to “oh-my-God-I-was-so-wrong”? Well, if you can relate, such was my experience visiting Roastery Coffee House, Dwarka, Delhi. Stuck in a location that dropped all hopes for the place, I was not impressed after witnessing the neighbourhood of the established Coffee House’s Dwarka outlet. The cafe stands out with its remarkable architecture, sitting between an empty plot with broken stones on the right and a property dealer office on the left. The cafe has neat and cute outdoor seating, however, I was in no mood to see the traffic view when I sipped my coffee. As I entered, my ears were met with the chitter-chatter ambient sound, one fails to hear nowadays at fancy restaurants or trendy cafes with English music playing in the background.
While settling in my chair, I witnessed the robust coffee station where the magic of brewing happened. My eyes also soaked in the simple yet chic modern-Indian interior design. I was impressed with the natural lighting seeping in while the sun was still out, entering through a skylight and the huge glasses in the windows and entry door.
Beverages I Tried At The Roastery Coffee House:
1. Peanut Butter Blend

My first order was an indulgent treat for cold coffee lovers. This milky coffee goodness had double shot expresso blended with ice cream and peanut butter. Despite the milkshake style of the beverage, I was happy to get a good flavour of the rich coffee.
2. Pourover Coffee

From the manual blend section of the coffee menu, I tried the pour-over coffee (hot), which is prepared with the cool-looking brewing technique in which hot water is poured through coffee grounds placed in a filter. The black coffee with no sugar was super smooth with an intense aftertaste.
3. Cranberry Coffee

I was excited and sceptical to try this unique blend of expresso with cranberry juice and soda. The verdict? It looked gorgeous and tasted fabulous! A must-try chilled coffee when you visit this place.
4. 72% Hot Chocolate With Marshmallow

This has got to be the thickest hot chocolate I have ever had. The beverage was flavourful and tasty, though it was a bit too heavy for me.
Food At The Roastery Coffee House:
1. Roastery Signature Zucchini Fries

I am a big fan of Zucchini Fries and was happy to try Roastery’s version of them. The fries were coated with a delicious peri-peri marinade and paired well with a refreshing sprouts-pomegranate-onion salad.
2. Spaghetti Mutton Bulognaise

This delicious Spaghetti was like a hug from the inside. The flavours were perfectly balanced. Go for this dish if you are looking for something comforting and filling.
3. Peri Peri Chicken Pizza

If you like baked cheesecakes, then you will like this Burn Cheese Cake slice which is dense, flavourful, and melt-in-mouth. It comes with a piece of rich dark chocolate on top.
2. Strawberry Cake Slice

One thing I loved about the desserts here was that there was no whipped cream taking over the entire cake. Further, there was no sugar overload so I could get a nice flavour of each cake slice. Prepared using what seemed like fresh strawberry compote in between the layers and vanilla frosting on top, this is a yummy pick for strawberry fans.
3. Carrot Cake Slice

This has got to be the cutest cake slice on the menu, featuring a tiny ‘cake carrot’ on top. The flavour was dreamy and the cake was sprinkled with a citrus peel zest, which added a charming note to the otherwise humble cake.
