Ahmedabad’s café scene just got a headline-making arrival. KOMO by Kaffa, the new luxury concept from the team behind Kaffa Coffee Roasters, launched in Bodakdev is being billed as Gujarat’s largest café. Expect dramatic high ceilings, large open-plan seating, signature Kaffa brews, and an Instagram-friendly aesthetic that’s already drawing crowds and coverage.
Quick Facts (At-A-Glance)
- Name: KOMO by Kaffa.
- Location: Rajpath Rangoli Rd, behind Rajpath Club, Bodakdev, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380054.
- Claimed size: reported around ~25,000–26,000 sq ft, positioning it as the biggest café space in Gujarat.
- Timings: typically listed as 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM.
- Average cost for two: ~INR 1,400–1,600.
Location & How To Get There
KOMO is located in Bodakdev, behind the well-known Rajpath Club, on Rajpath Rangoli Road – a convenient part of west Ahmedabad with good road connectivity and parking options nearby. If you’re coming from central Ahmedabad or the CG Road / Vastrapur area, a 15–20 minute drive (depending on traffic) should get you there.
Ambiance: “Most Aesthetic” With High Ceilings And Open Space
KOMO’s design is a big part of the conversation. Think vaulted ceilings, large arched windows, sweeping pillars, and layered lighting – a scale and polish more commonly associated with hotel restaurants than neighbourhood cafés. That theatrical architecture, combined with curated seating clusters, makes it ideal for photoshoots and café-hopping content creation. Local lifestyle and food outlets are calling it among the most aesthetic cafés in Ahmedabad, emphasizing the tall ceilings and open areas for groups and events.
Why photographers and influencers like it
- Expansive interiors provide varied backdrops (arched windows, statement tables, sculptural lighting).
- Large groups can be photographed without feeling crowded. Because of this, KOMO is already being recommended as one of the largest café venues in Ahmedabad for photoshoots and events.
Menu, Signature Kaffa Brews
KOMO is an offshoot of Kaffa Coffee Roasters, so coffee is front and centre. Expect:
- Signature Kaffa brews (cold brews, single-origin filters, espresso-based classics), curated by Kaffa’s roastery team.
- A café menu of pastries and brunch items (croissant toast, avocado-based plates), comfort mains (pastas, pizzas), and shareable plates (parmesan/truffle fries, mezze-style options).
- Non-coffee options include mocktails, fresh juices, and desserts.
The average cost for two is around INR 1,400–1,600. If you’re ordering multiple mains, desserts, and specialty coffees, expect the bill to be a little higher.
Must-try
- Signature Kaffa espresso drinks
- Nutella croissant or avocado croissant
- Parmesan truffle fries and mezze platter – popular sharables
Ambience & Practicality: Is KOMO Work-Friendly?
Yes and no – here’s a balanced take:
- Positive for work: very large seating capacity, many table types (communal and solo), and a design that encourages lingering; outlets and Wi-Fi are expected at a café of this scale (Kaffa’s other outlets typically provide Wi-Fi and seating geared to longer stays).
- Possible downsides: because KOMO is marketed as a luxury, social and photo-friendly destination, peak times may be noisy or crowded (not ideal if you need quiet, uninterrupted focus). Weekday mornings/afternoons are likelier to be calmer.
If your priority is laptop time and a quiet corner, pick off-peak hours or call ahead to check quieter seating areas.
KOMO by Kaffa vs The Project Cafe Ahmedabad
Both cafés are popular but serve different needs:
KOMO by Kaffa
- Scale & spectacle: very large, luxury-focused, dramatic interiors – built as an experience.
- Price: higher average spend (INR 1,400–1,600).
- Best for: groups, photoshoots, celebrations, and premium coffee experiences.
The Project Cafe (Ambavadi)
- Scale & vibe: boutique, design/art-led café housed in a refurbished bungalow with a cosy indoor/outdoor feel. It’s known for its artistic curation and vegetarian-forward menu.
- Price: ~INR 950 for two. Generally more mid-range and neighbourhood-friendly.
- Best for: creative meetups, quieter laptop work sessions, relaxed meals, and art lovers.
In short: choose KOMO when you want grandeur and a statement space; choose Project Cafe for a cosy, artful, quieter café experience.
Practical Tips Before You Go
- Reserve: if you’re visiting with a group or for a photoshoot, check if KOMO accepts reservations for larger parties. Social posts suggest it’s being used for events.
- Parking: Bodakdev / Rajpath Club area usually has paid parking nearby – consider a drop-off if you’re tight on time.
- Peak times: evenings and weekend afternoons are busiest; weekday afternoons are calmer.
Summing Up
KOMO by Kaffa is a step-change in Ahmedabad’s café landscape: a luxury, large-scale café experience built around Kaffa Coffee Roasters’ signature brews and a dramatic interior that’s tailor-made for photos, celebrations, and larger groups. It’s not a quiet neighbourhood coffee nook – it’s an experience venue. For a more intimate, art-led café time, The Project Cafe remains a great alternative in Ambavadi. If you plan to visit KOMO, expect elevated pricing and a visual feast – come for the coffee, stay for the interiors, and bring a camera.
