The brand introduces the first exclusive Espresso Martini Menu in India
Anjuna, March 24, 2025: Maverick & Farmer, India’s pioneering artisanal coffee brand, has arrived at Anjuna, bringing its signature blend of innovation and bold flavours to their first outlet in Goa. The new café introduces a fresh spin on coffee culture, with the launch of an Espresso Martini menu along with a coffee and an all-day dining menu that celebrates craft and creativity.
Born from a desire to challenge conventions, Maverick & Farmer has redefined India’s coffee landscape. From experiments with beans on their 140-acre estate in Coorg to developing cutting-edge brews, the brand has built a loyal following for its farm-to-cup philosophy and maverick approach to coffee.
A Coffee and Cocktail Experience
Maverick & Farmer has long been at the forefront of coffee experimentation, pushing the boundaries of brewing techniques and flavour pairings. In Goa, the spotlight is on coffee cocktails, with a standout menu that reinterprets the classic Espresso Martini with a burst of new flavours. Expect a line-up of drinks that highlight the depth and complexity of coffee combined with alcohol.
The menu traces personal anecdotes from the founders of the brand, each drink recounting a fond memory. Let’s Go to the Movies, a combination of sweet popcorn and black coffee, fills the palate with familiar notes of nostalgia from a matinee movie at the theatre. The whiff of crunchy popcorn greets you at every sip and the toffee garnish takes you back to the 80’s, as salted caramel and popcorn-infused vodka swirl in equal measure. A love letter to the iconic Espresso Martini, The First Love is a must for the coffee purists. It is a rich and smooth blend of espresso, Demerara sugar, Kahlua, coffee bean-infused gin, and Tonka bean, with a delicate milk puff. If you’re looking for a tropical twist, Carmona Zalor brings together coffee cherry extract, fresh pineapple, coconut, smoked rock salt, and pandan-infused Feni. The drink is an ode to (South) Goa with Feni and Bebinca as the star ingredients. The Bike Ride takes you on a trip to Melkodige Estate in Chikmagalur with a cold brew made from their beans, star anise, juniper-forward gin, candied ginger, and grated Parmesan – perfect after a long biking sojourn. Christmas Has Come Early, true to its name, serves your favourite treats with a dose of booze. Marshmallow-washed whiskey, Malabar vanilla liqueur, dark chocolate and espresso garnished with toasted marshmallow, come together to give you wintry day feels.
Ashish D’abreo, Q grader, Coffee Roaster and Co-Founder of Maverick & Farmer says, “With this new space, we’re excited to bring our love for coffee and cocktails together in a way that’s never been done before. In Goa, cocktails are a natural extension of our menu. It also allowed us to play with a multitude of flavours and ingredients, each exploring the depth and versatility of coffee. With this as the starting point, we aim to bring more of our maverick creations to Goa.”
Beyond cocktails, the coffee menu continues to showcase Maverick & Farmer’s signature and most-loved drinks. The Clarified Cappuccino, the world’s first nearly colourless cappuccino, is served on ice for a refreshingly smooth experience. The ‘Spresso Citron blends frozen espresso, orange, and chocolate for a bright, citrusy hit, while the Maverick Mazagran pairs coffee with lemonade and a few unexpected elements for an intriguingly complex drink.

The First Look
Spread over 3000 sq. ft. the Anjuna café is designed as a laid-back, welcoming space that invites slow mornings, creative afternoons, and lively evenings. Inspired by Goa’s relaxed energy, the sun-drenched interiors are warm, airy, and effortlessly stylish—making it the perfect spot to linger over a great cup of coffee or a well-crafted cocktail. As you enter the café you are greeted by a whiff of freshly ground coffee and dangling lampshades created from upcycled ceramic pour-over makers. A patterned wall, hand-painted by the staff of the café with leftover ground coffee, features Goan Azulejos artwork; while an outdoor section with boho, beachy vibes overlooks a charming sunset best paired with the Maverick Mazagran.
Speaking about the newest location, Sreeram G, Co-Founder and Partner at Maverick & Farmer, says, “Goa felt like the perfect place for us to take this next step. It has a deep appreciation for craft and community, and we wanted to create a space where people can slow down, experiment with new flavours, and experience coffee in a completely different way.”
Maverick & Farmer’s new café in Goa isn’t just another café—it’s a place where coffee, cocktails, and culinary creativity come together in a setting that feels like home.
