Third Wave Coffee Opens New Outlet at The Galleria Mall Bengaluru

Third Wave Coffee has expanded its presence in Bengaluru with the launch of a new café at The Galleria Mall in Yelahanka, further strengthening its footprint in North Bengaluru. The opening adds to the mall's food and beverage portfolio as retail destinations continue to focus on enhancing customer engagement through dining and café experiences.

Spread across more than 1,000 sq. ft. and offering seating for 44 guests, the café serves the brand's range of specialty coffees along with sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, salads, savouries, desserts and seasonal menu offerings.

The launch forms part of The Galleria Mall's ongoing strategy to strengthen its tenant mix and attract greater consumer footfall through a combination of retail and dining experiences. The mall serves a large residential and commercial catchment area in Yelahanka and North Bengaluru.

Nitin Bir, Vice President – Retail Leasing, Brookfield Properties, said, "At Brookfield Properties, our vision for The Galleria Mall is to create a vibrant neighbourhood lifestyle hub that seamlessly integrates convenience, curated retail, exceptional dining, and community-led experiences. The addition of Third Wave Coffee is a significant step in this journey, strengthening our evolving F&B portfolio while offering visitors another reason to spend quality time at the mall. As we continue to enhance the asset through a thoughtfully curated tenant mix, experience-led activations, and phased upgrades, our focus remains on serving the everyday lifestyle needs of the community.”

Founded in 2016, Third Wave Coffee currently operates more than 220 cafés across 21 cities and has continued to expand its presence in key urban markets through a café-led growth strategy.

Rajat Luthra, CEO, Third Wave Coffee, said, "Bengaluru has always been a key market for Third Wave Coffee, and we are delighted to further strengthen our presence in North Bengaluru with the launch of our café at The Galleria Mall. As we continue to expand our footprint across the country, our focus remains on creating spaces that bring people together over great coffee, delicious food and memorable experiences. This launch is another step towards making the Third Wave Coffee experience more accessible to our customers and becoming a part of their everyday rituals and moments of connection."

The opening reflects the growing importance of café brands in driving footfall and dwell time within shopping destinations. It also highlights the continued expansion of organised coffee chains as they target high-density residential and mixed-use developments across major Indian cities.
