Umber Speciality Coffee, co-founded by Divya Minocha, Aditya Bhutani, and Vivek Vashishth, is making waves in Chennai's coffee scene with its stylish packaging and innovative brews. Divya, who currently resides in Sweden, envisioned Umber as an accessible, grab-and-go coffee option for busy professionals and weekend adventurers. Eschewing the traditional café culture that serves food, Umber focuses solely on delivering high-quality coffee beverages. Their menu features classics like hot and iced cappuccinos, South Indian filter coffee, and iced americano, alongside creative innovations such as a coconut creme latte and a milo mocha. The company emphasizes health-conscious choices, avoiding processed sugars and sourcing organic, fair-trade beans from Chikmagalur. Despite some hits and misses, like the overly sweet iced americano, Umber is carving out a niche, particularly with bulk orders from workplaces. For those looking to try, Umber’s coffees are available for takeaway and delivery through Zomato, with prices starting at ₹150.
