What people say, in short
Blue Tokai is a specialty coffee chain that people across Kolkata widely recommend, and its Park Street branch, attached to the Bahrisons bookstore, comes up again and again. Croissants are the standout: diners single out the pistachio raspberry, caramel chocolate and almond versions, and one calls the Croissant Madame flaky and underrated. Many also praise it as a place to sit for long hours or work, with one commenter noting the Park Street second floor works like a co-working space. The caveats: some find the outlets cramped, one says the food is weak, one diner found an iced mocha watery, and another says the Park Street space is too small for working.
