Bastian Hospitality Unveils Blondie in Mumbai: A New Cafe Where Coffee, Matcha & Community Converge

Bastian Hospitality unveils Blondie, a thoughtfully designed café in Khar, Mumbai, marking the group’s entry into the specialty coffee space. Led by Natasha Hemani and Chef Shreya Aggarwal, Blondie brings a refined yet approachable take on coffee, matcha, and all-day dining, with a focus on ingredients, consistency, and a deep sense of community.

At its core, Blondie is about coffee done right. The menu moves beyond the expected, featuring everything from a classic cortado to more inventive offerings that will be highlighted on their monthly specials menu like Mango Sticky Rice Latte, The Blondie Sunrise and Vietnamese Coconut Coffee.

The Slow Bar caters to purists, offering hand-brewed V60, French Press, and AeroPress options, with beans sourced from Chikmagalur, including Cask-Aged Whiskey Barrel Brew and Fruit Funk Anaerobic Naturals, alongside standout single origins from Ethiopia and Costa Rica.

Equally considered is Blondie’s dedicated matcha bar—the first of its kind in Mumbai—sourcing ceremonial-grade matcha from Kagoshima, Japan. Guests can opt for a traditional Matcha Latte or explore bolder interpretations like the Dreamy S’mores Matcha, layered with house-made chocolate and marshmallow cream, or the Mango Matcha Latte, a seasonal and refreshing nod to local flavors.

The food menu, crafted by Chef Shreya Aggarwal, balances comfort and creativity. The gluten-free Benne Dosas come with unexpected pairings like bacon & sunny-side-up eggs or prawn thecha, while all-day breakfast classics—Eggs Kejriwal, Akuri, and Carbonara Scramble— thoughtfully crafted with bold and balanced flavours.

The pastry case highlights a modern take on French techniques, while desserts range from vegan tiramisu to an indulgent eggless tres leches.

“Blondie is about bringing people together over exceptional coffee, bold flavors, and a space that feels both aspirational and welcoming,” says Ranjit Bindra, Founder & CEO, Bastian Hospitality.

The space itself—bathed in natural light and softened with warm blue tones and textured finishes—is designed to transition seamlessly from a quiet morning retreat to a lively evening hangout. Beyond the café experience, Blondie will host an evolving lineup of events celebrating music, art, and wellness, reinforcing its role as a community-driven space. The place is pet-friendly.

More than just a café, Blondie is built on a deeper ethos: championing women across the coffee supply chain, honoring matcha’s rich heritage, and creating a space where coffee culture and creativity thrive.
