"Pull up a chair. The coffee's hot, the vibes are warm — you belong here."

Where It Began

A Dream Brewed
in a Tiny Kitchen

DLC Coffee wasn't born in a boardroom — it was born at 5 AM, in a small kitchen in Faridabad, where founder Deepak Lal Choudhary brewed his first batch of single-origin beans sourced directly from a small farm in Coorg.

What started as a weekend ritual for friends became a calling. Deepak saw something missing in his city — a place that didn't just serve coffee, but created a moment. A pause. A breath. A conversation.

In 2009, he opened the first DLC outlet on a humble street corner with four tables, two staff members, and an espresso machine he'd saved two years to buy.

The Growth

Word Spread.
People Stayed.

Within six months, the four-table café couldn't seat everyone. Regulars became family. Strangers became regulars. The city had quietly found its coffee corner.

Today, DLC Coffee serves over 800 cups a day, sources beans from seven different origins, and bakes every pastry fresh each morning before 6 AM. But the spirit hasn't changed — we're still that small kitchen with big love.

We don't just want you to enjoy a coffee. We want you to feel something. That's the DLC promise. That's always been the DLC promise.

What We Stand For

The Soul Behind Every Cup

🌱
01
Farm to Cup Sourcing
We build direct relationships with farmers in Coorg, Chikmagalur, and beyond — paying fair prices, visiting every harvest season, and sharing their stories with you.
🔥
02
Roasted In-House, Daily
Our roasters start before dawn. Every batch is roasted in small quantities for peak freshness — because a coffee is only as good as the beans behind it.
🫶
03
Community First
DLC is a neighbourhood institution. We sponsor local events, hire local talent, and pour a portion of every sale into our city's welfare initiatives.
♻️
04
Sustainable Always
Compostable packaging, used grounds recycled as fertiliser, and energy-efficient equipment. We believe great coffee should leave no bad footprint behind.
05
Craft Without Compromise
No shortcuts. No flavour syrups masking poor extraction. Every technique is taught, practised, and perfected — because you deserve nothing less.
🏡
06
A Third Place
Home is the first place. Work is the second. DLC is your third — a space for thinking, creating, connecting, or simply sitting still and breathing.
