Sip, snack, and vibe at the cafés and bars the 20-somethings frequent. Don’t take our word for it, this is how the kids do it

If there’s one thing Gen Z slays, it’s curating the perfect vibe—whether it’s iced Americanos at artsy cafes, screaming Numb by Linkin Park at karaoke, downing shots with the crew, snuggling up with cocoa at a Pinterest-worthy resto-bar, or finding that Insta-perfect nook to hustle in style. Mumbai is the OG playground—fast, chaotic, and always serving up something new. To save you the scroll, Sunday mid-day’s Gen Z squad has crafted the ultimate guide to eat, drink, and vibe like a true city insider. Let’s go!
Some cafes are for coffee, some for conversation—but Ink and Brew is for those who like a little edge with their espresso. Rock music hums in the background, books line the walls, and instead of regular chairs, there are swings. It’s the kind of place where you can sip on a latte while debating your next tattoo. Yes, really! Get inked or pierced right here, mid-coffee break. It’s intimate but electric, the kind of spot where first-timers nervously flip through tattoo designs while regulars sip on Brazilian Mocha Cola like it’s their usual. The menu leans into indulgence—think creamy cheesecakes, strong brews, and unique blends you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you walk out with fresh ink or just a caffeine high, one thing’s certain—you’ll be back.
