Third Wave Coffee (the Indian specialty‑coffee café chain) does not publicly release a clean “statewise branch count,” but the latest available reports say it operates around 200 cafés across 12 cities as of late 2025–early 2026, with a stated plan to add another ~100 stores in 2026.

Quick numbers from recent reports

  • ~165 cafés across 12 cities as of June 2025 (Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Mysuru, Bengaluru, etc.).
  • 200th outlet launched in Chembur (Mumbai) in December 2025, confirming the brand had crossed 200 Cafés by then.
  • Plans announced in late 2025 to open about 100 new stores in 2026 , targeting new markets like Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, Kochi, and Lucknow, while deepening presence in existing cities.

So the current best estimate is:
~200 branches total, spread over 12 cities , not officially broken down by state.

Why there’s no official statewise table

Third Wave Coffee’s public communications (press releases, interviews with CEO Rajat Luthra, and media coverage) focus on:

  • City counts (12 cities) rather than state counts.
  • Milestones (165, then 200 outlets) rather than per‑state breakdowns.
  • Expansion plans (e.g., “add 100 stores in FY26,” “enter Kolkata and East India”).

Because the company does not publish a statewise store list, any precise “branches per state” table would require manually scraping every outlet from their website or app and inferring states from addresses – something that is not reflected in any official public source.

What we can infer about state presence

From the cities mentioned in reports, Third Wave Coffee is active in at least these states/regions (exact branch counts per state unknown):

  • Karnataka – Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangalore (strong cluster, likely the highest number of outlets)
  • Tamil Nadu – Chennai, possibly other southern cities
  • Telangana – Hyderabad
  • Delhi & Haryana – Delhi, Gurgaon
  • Maharashtra – Mumbai (including Chembur), possibly other cities in the state
  • Andhra Pradesh – planned expansion to Visakhapatnam
  • West Bengal – planned entry to Kolkata
  • Gujarat – Ahmedabad (already opened, with localized menu)
  • Uttar Pradesh – planned entry to Lucknow
  • Kerala – planned expansion to Kochi

These are the states where the brand either already operates or has explicitly said it will expand. The exact number of branches in each state is not disclosed.

How the brand is evolving

  • The company doubled its size in about one year: from ~100 outlets to 200 outlets by late 2025.
  • It runs a large roastery in Bengaluru that can support 700–800 cafés , indicating a long runway for growth.
  • Strategy focuses on clustered expansion (to keep logistics and operations efficient) and ensuring every outlet is EBITDA‑positive.

If you need a practical statewise estimate (for planning, market research, etc.), the only reliable approach is to:

  1. Go to Third Wave Coffee’s official website or app.
  2. Use the “Find a Café” / store locator.
  3. List each outlet with its city and infer the state.
  4. Aggregate counts per state.

That would give you a custom, up‑to‑date statewise breakdown, but it’s not something Third Wave has published officially. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
