Latin Quarter. Best Indian coffee brand
“We source from a single estate so that the taste does not differ. We blend the single light roast with robusta, giving a nice aromatic flavour, which in our experience suits the Indian palette the best. We have two variants of medium to dark roast and one light roast as well.”
Carlos Noronha Jr., CEO, Latin Quarter
Client Testimonials
Parth Mehta
Lovely cafe in a heritage building. We had brunch here and had such a great time that we revisited it for cakes later in the day. The staff is very polite and helpful. They even remembered the coffee I had in the morning and made a recommendation when we returned. The lady who owns this place is equally lovely and gave us good suggestions for spots to visit. Overall brilliant experience. And when they say "We serve one of the best coffees in India" they are absolutely correct. A must-visit if you are in Panjim.
Firangi Halwai
Caravela Cafe is truly a hidden gem of Goa serving probably the best coffee ever! A quaint little place tucked away in the 31st January road in Goa. Do try the Ham and Cheese Sandwich and Eggs Benedict here, along with multiple doses of your favourite coffee variant. The Kitchen Team is stupendous, spearheaded by the beautiful Fabiola who makes us feel at home. Don't miss this place for a good brunch if you are in Goa!
Shivani Oza
Such a beautiful place to chill amidst the busy market streets of Panjim. It's an aesthetic cafe with a spacious seating arrangement. Their menu is quite versatile & surely had the best picks for your taste buds with generous pricing. I loved their service & the quality of food was commendable! Do visit it once & enjoy their delicacies. It's also open for takeaway & online orders.
Ketki Pande
The owner of this restaurant is so warm and welcoming. Felt absolutely amazing talking to him. Everything you order here is so delicious and has the best cold coffees, pancakes and sandwiches in India. We went here every day for breakfast!

They serve their own brand of Coffee! Roasted, blended and packaged in-house. To complement their own coffee beans which have been skillfully roasted by their owner Carlos, their high-pressure coffee machine does the beans justice. To accompany that brilliant coffee, you have an array of European pastries to select from which keep changing every now and then to keep it interesting. Also, if you’re hungry for a meal... they do that too. Breakfast, lunch and Supper. Serving up some yummy sandwiches, pasta, Pizza and some Goan specialties too. The place is a bit tight, but that just adds to the cozy feel of the place.

One of the best places in Panjim, it is run by a family and has been for about seven years now. Really cool people and the food was exceptional. Favourites include the Ross Omelette, Chicken Xacuti, and Prawn Curry with Poie. Really warm and friendly people, definitely try talking to them to learn more about the place and Panjim.
