Places
1.Curious Life Coffee Roasters: BLUE, C Scheme
37 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/jaipur
Curious Life Coffee Roasters in C Scheme is frequently recommended, with several commenters calling it one of Jaipur's best coffee spots and praising its beans. Three commenters single out the Vietnamese brew, two diners like the sandwiches, and another likes the avocado toast but wishes it came on sourdough instead of multigrain. The caveats: one first-hand visitor found it merely mid; a few commenters find it noisy and crowded; one says a bad new menu has made it pricey; and one reports weak mobile signal and no WiFi, making it poor for work — though several say people do work and read there.
C Scheme
2.Half Light, C Scheme
36 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/jaipur, r/IndiaCoffee
Half Light in C Scheme is one of the most widely recommended coffee spots in Jaipur, with commenters repeatedly praising its coffee, including its cold brew, and several say it works well for sitting with a laptop for long hours. The honest caveat is that several commenters say it gets crowded and noisy, even on weekdays, and views on the food are mixed: one diner found the food mediocre and not fresh, while another loved the Nutella almond pancakes. Two commenters also call it average or the weakest of the city's coffee spots.
C Scheme
3.Coffee Sutra, C Scheme
33 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/jaipur

A few say it works well as a place to sit and work, and one diner praises the C Scheme branch's inner seating and the cookie served with coffee.

C Scheme
4.Town Coffee 2.0, C Scheme
30 people recommend, 8 warn against itvia r/jaipur
Town Coffee's C Scheme branch is a popular pick among locals, with many praising the food and several highlighting standout drinks like the Vietnamese coffee and coconut milk iced coffee. The biggest caveat is crowds: many commenters say it gets very noisy and packed, especially on weekends, so reservations are advised. A few diners find the food bland or inconsistent across branches, and a couple consider it overpriced, so it divides opinion despite an overall positive verdict.
C Scheme
5.Carbon Cafe, C Scheme
20 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/jaipur
Carbon Cafe in C Scheme is one of the most-recommended cafes in Jaipur, with commenters repeatedly suggesting it for coffee and a few naming specific items like the Citrus Cloud, a mocha cream cheese, and the cold brew. A couple of commenters say the food is good, and two note the coffee and ambience are nice but not budget-friendly. The criticism is blunt, though: one visitor says the coffee was among the worst they had, another was unimpressed after a tiny, pricey pasta serving, and one says their matcha was bad. Two diners who tried the cheesecake hated it, one calling the whole place mediocre, and a couple of commenters find it just okay overall.

Taffeta is a large cafe near the airport that divides opinion. Several commenters praise the ambience and space, with a few recommending it for coffee or working from, and some singling out the biscoff coffee, pizza and sandwiches.

C Scheme
10.Tapri, C Scheme
11 people recommendvia r/jaipur
Tapri Central draws breakfast and tea-cafe suggestions. One visitor calls it budget-friendly and returned for breakfast twice during a short trip; another liked the filter coffee on their first attempt. One commenter considers it among Jaipur's best cafes, while another calls it a familiar choice that still feels enjoyable. Crowds are the main reservation: two visitors describe queues or long waits, and one group left without eating. One commenter notes the range of tea flavours but says it was not the tea-centred experience they were seeking.
C Scheme
11.Camiano, C Scheme
11 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/jaipur
Camiano is a spot many people recommend, with one praising its cakes and another its desserts, and one diner who visited also found the coffee and food nice.

Views are mixed, though: a few who have tried it found it mediocre, and one commenter dislikes the macaroons and finds most of the sweets disappointing.

C Scheme
12.Zolocrust
10 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/jaipur
Zolocrust draws several bakery and cafe recommendations, often alongside Camiano. One commenter considers it among the best bakeries and another liked its matcha. The positive accounts are mostly short suggestions rather than detailed visits. Two visitors are less enthusiastic: one disliked it outright, while another agreed it was disappointing but valued it as an all-night option. Treat the late-night appeal as a visitor's report rather than a guarantee of current opening hours.
Zolocrust, Hotel, Clarks Amer, Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg, Lal Bahadur Nagar, Chandrakala Colony, Durgapura, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302018, India
13.Indian Coffee House, Jawahar Kala Kendra
9 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/jaipur
Indian Coffee House at Jawahar Kala Kendra draws recommendations for its old-school character and inexpensive food. This is the JKK outlet, not the separate Indian Coffee Factory or the MI Road coffee house. Several people suggest the south Indian dishes, including dosa, and one recommends idli. One visitor liked the vegetable uttappam and biryani but disliked the coffee and sandwiches; another recommends biryani too. Two visitors disliked the cutlet, one finding it too mustard-heavy. Work advice conflicts: one says it is not calm enough, while another suggests avoiding the evening rush and continuing to order.

8 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/jaipur
Cafe Quaint, tucked into the Jawahar Kala Kendra grounds, wins people over mainly for its quiet, cozy ambience and location, with several calling it a good spot for dates, unhurried conversation, or getting work done. Two commenters praise the hot chocolate, one calling it the best and another saying it is underrated, while one diner finds the desserts awesome and another says the sourdough bread is solid. The food itself draws mixed views, with a few diners calling it average or overpriced, and one also warns the cafe is understaffed with tiny tables; another warns the seating is uncomfortable, the cooling is poor, and there is no physical menu. One commenter wonders why the cafe is almost empty each time they visit.

15.The Farm, Vaishali Nagar
8 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/jaipur
The Farm in Vaishali Nagar draws more recommendations than warnings, with several commenters praising its coffee — one regular singles out the iced latte — along with the ambience and outdoor seating that make it a spot to linger with friends or on a date. The record is mixed, though: one diner calls the food average with high prices and poor service, another dislikes the orange cold brew, and one says the food only recently improved after a management change while the vibe has declined. Prices are described as on the higher side, though some find them acceptable for the area.
Vaishali Nagar
16.Anokhi Cafe
7 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/jaipur, r/IndiaCoffee

One longtime diner says a recent return visit still delivered. A commenter singles out its Kerala filter coffee, though they are unsure it is still on the menu, and another recommends its basque cheesecake. The caveats: one diner lists it among overrated spots with mediocre food, and another considers it the most classy option but warns the food can taste too European. One commenter finds the pricing reasonable compared with pricier options elsewhere.

One commenter also notes it stays busy and hyped despite the mixed opinions.

20.Rangoon Coffee Brewery, Ajmer Road
6 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/jaipur
Rangoon Coffee Brewery, with a branch on Ajmer Road, draws plenty of recommendations, with one saying the coffee is crazy good and another calling it worth the time and effort even for non-coffee drinkers. Views are mixed, though: one diner found it just okay and plans to revisit, while another was let down, feeling the setting was mediocre and the brew unpleasant enough to put them off the place entirely. One commenter also finds it too far from where they live.
Ajmer Road
21.Noir Coffee House, C Scheme
6 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/jaipur
Cafe Noir in C Scheme is mostly recommended as a late-night and early-morning hangout — two commenters say it stays open when almost everything else has closed, and one regular finds it very quiet in the small hours, good for a post-walk breakfast and a latte. Another commenter suggests it as a quiet spot for a small coffee meeting. The food gets mixed notes: one diner praises the pizza but calls the coffee average, and one first-hand visitor finds the prices high. One commenter also did not like the interior.
C Scheme
22.Friendly Beans, Mansarovar
6 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/jaipur
Friendly Beans in Mansarovar draws recommendations for affordable cold coffee. One visitor calls it the best cold coffee they had tasted in a long time, and two other commenters emphasise its value. The reservations matter: one former fan now finds it watery, another says their taste changed after trying bean-to-cup coffee, and a third considers it merely okay with too much ice. That is a split over taste and expectations, not evidence that every former customer reports declining quality.

One commenter ranks it first among the city's coffee spots, another says its cold coffee is the only one in Jaipur they enjoy, and a diner calls it a budget-friendly and good pick, singling out the hazelnut coffee. The main caveat: one commenter feels it is not the place for authentic coffee taste and says its popularity rests on thick frappes instead.
