When Travis Braganza set out to open a neighbourhood café in Bandra, he wasn't looking to build just another coffee shop. He wanted to create a place people would keep coming back to not only for the coffee, but for the experience. That vision took shape with the launch of bokka coffee in 2023.

Instead of sticking to the usual café menu, Travis introduced concepts that helped the brand stand out.
