Bengaluru-based Cafe Coffee Day operates a chain of coffee houses across India. The chain also has international footprint, with a presence in Nepal, Malaysia, Czech Republic, Austria, and Egypt.

Cafe Coffee Day is a vertically integrated business. It grows its own coffee in its own estates. It also makes its restaurant furniture.

The chain opened its first outlet in 1996 in Bengaluru. It grew rapidly in the following years, surpassing 1,000 stores by 2011.

At some point, Cafe Coffee Day operated more than 1,750 outlets before a wave of store closings began. The chain’s store count dropped sharply to below 1,000 following the closings. However, Cafe Coffee Day is opening more outlets and it now has nearly 1,400 locations.
