Compass Group India has teamed up with Coffee Island to introduce something exciting! Coffee Island, in collaboration with Vita Nova, has made its entrance into India with its first store at HQ27, Gurgaon, bringing an authentic European coffeehouse vibe to a nation.

To complement this handcrafted coffee experience, Compass Group India has curated a fresh, youthful, and clutter-breaking menu, designed to encourage socializing over coffee while staying true to India’s evolving taste preferences.

A Menu Crafted for the Modern Coffee Lover

The menu curated by Compass Group’s in-house celebrated chefs, brings together bold flavors, comfort classics, and innovative creations across three core categories:

  • Essentials – Café staples like buttery croissants, muffins, and dry cakes.
  • Assembled to Order – Freshly crafted, personalized dishes made in real-time.
  • Differentiators – Unique, trend-forward offerings like Banoffee with Nolen Gur, Seasonal Pastas, Broccomole (a creative broccoli stem dip), and the indulgent Rocky Road Muffin topped with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and cookie crumble.
