What people say, in short
Third Wave Coffee draws a split response from locals. Fans praise specific items like the Vietnamese Shakerato, pour overs, flavoured coffees, banofee pie and almond croissant, and several branches are called good for working, with the Koramangala outlet described as aesthetic and the Chandra Layout one quiet. Others are unimpressed: one calls the coffee mid, another prefers local filter coffee spots, one found an Americano sour at the airport outlet, and purists are advised to look elsewhere. It is also seen as pricey and hyped for ambience, and it gets crowded on weekends.
