Live in just 15% of Zepto’s expanding dark store network, Zepto Café has already hit a 160+ Crore annualised revenue run-rate with proven unit economics.

India’s fast-evolving appetite for convenience is about to get even more satisfying, as Zepto, the brand that pioneered 10-minute delivery in India, is gearing up to deliver food and beverages in 10 minutes by rolling out Zepto Café nationwide. With strong customer love and growing demand, Zepto Café has quickly become a game-changer, blending traditional flavours with modern technology to bring a café experience straight to people’s doorsteps. Now serving through 120+ Cafés at stores across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and soon Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune, Zepto Café is setting a new standard for quick-access, high-quality snacks, coffee, and chai.

 By scaling Café from 15% to 100% of Zepto’s dark stores, there is a clear path to building Café into a 1,000 Crore revenue business by next year. As such, Zepto is currently launching 100+ Cafés per month.

Aadit Palicha, CEO of Zepto, believes Zepto Café will usher in a new phase in Indian Quick Commerce. “We have cracked 10-minute delivery with high quality food preparation processes, which is why we are seeing strong customer love. Over the past year, our team has meticulously researched and sourced  state-of-the-art equipment for our Cafés, including coffee machines that employ handcrafted brewing techniques. This ensures every cup of coffee and every dish meets the highest standards of quality and consistency—on par with the finest offline café chains in India.”

“With Zepto Café, we’ve combined India’s favourite snacks and beverages with our 10-minute delivery model to create a service that resonates deeply with our customers. The response has been phenomenal, with Zepto Café now achieving an Annual Run Rate (ARR) GMV of ₹160 crore with just 15% of our expanding dark store network with proven unit economics. As we expand into new cities and launch 100+ new cafés every month, we are on track to achieve ARR of ₹1,000 crore by the next fiscal year,” he added.

Zepto Café offers a wide menu of over 148 items, ranging from freshly brewed chai and coffee to all-day breakfast options, pastries, and savoury snacks, catering to diverse tastes and preferences. Building on Zepto's success with its 10-minute delivery promise, the online café concept reimagines the experience of “grabbing a quick bite” for today’s fast-paced urban lifestyle.
