The Tea Toast Co.® is India’s first premium vegetarian café brand, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Belgaum, Karnataka. Established by four passionate entrepreneurs—Akshay Kulkarni, Akshay Kathariya, Rahul Kednurkar, and Suhas Chandak—we combine culinary artistry with a vision to create curated café spaces that foster community and connection. Our mission is to craft an ecosystem where tea and coffee lovers come together to savor exceptional beverages and vegetarian cuisine in vibrant, welcoming environments.

With 10 stores across Tier-2 cities like Belgaum, Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, and Hubballi, our cafés are beloved by Millennials, Gen Z, and travelers seeking high-quality, health-conscious meals and drinks. We’ve achieved EBITDA positivity in 2024-25 and are set to expand into North Karnataka, Goa, and South Maharashtra through company-owned and franchise models, alongside a D2C retail line of premium packaged tea, coffee, and ready-to-eat products.
