Travis Braganza | Founder, bokka coffee
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. From the now-popular "bokka bangers" and its signature dark roast to canned coffee and the café's much-loved bokka dosas, every offering was designed to give customers something different. More importantly, he focused on building a strong community around the brand, turning first-time visitors into regulars.
Three years on, bokka continues to evolve. Its new Pali outlet features India's first coffee-on-tap setup, reflecting Travis's belief that innovation and technology can elevate everyday café experiences. As the brand prepares to expand with more outlets across Mumbai, Travis's journey is a reminder that steady growth often comes from understanding your customers, staying original, and never losing sight of the experience you're trying to create.
