The Story Behind The Dish
In Vienna, the Melange is not just coffee — it is a way of life. Served with a glass of water and a newspaper, it marks the beginning of a slow, thoughtful morning. At Cafe Courtyard, we bring that Viennese ritual to Kolkata.
Origin: Vienna, Austria
Ingredients

Chef's Notes
“We use beans from a small roaster who understands the continental roast profile — darker than third-wave, lighter than commercial. The milk is steamed to exactly 65 degrees Celsius. The foam should be silky, not stiff.”
— Meera Banerjee
