Milk Coffee, Black Coffee or Cold Coffee? A Simple Guide

Chiya Table · 9 Oct 2026

Coffee menus can feel complicated. Ours is deliberately simple: four coffees, each for a different mood.

Milk Coffee (Rs. 50)

Hot coffee with milk, smooth and gentle. It's the easiest coffee to enjoy if you're used to milk tea, because milk softens the bitterness.

Best for: your first coffee of the day, or anyone new to coffee.

Black Coffee (Rs. 40)

Hot coffee without milk. It's lighter in body but sharper in flavour, and you taste the coffee itself rather than the milk.

Best for: people who like a clean, strong taste, or who skip dairy.

Cold Coffee (Rs. 70)

Chilled coffee with milk, creamy and refreshing. It's one of the most popular drinks on warm afternoons.

Best for: hot days, long chats and anyone who wants coffee that feels like a treat.

Cold Black Coffee (Rs. 50)

Chilled coffee without milk, crisp and refreshing.

Best for: summer afternoons when you want energy without heaviness.

Coffee or chiya?

Can't decide? Many of our regulars start with a chiya in the morning and switch to cold coffee in the afternoon. There's no wrong answer.
