Premium Indian coffee brand Toffee Coffee Roasters has secured Rs 5 crore in a Pre-Series A funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, with participation from 66 Bridge Partners, Abhijit Vemuganti, and Invesst. The funding marks a significant step for the brand as it seeks to scale operations amid growing demand for at-home specialty coffee.
According to the company, roughly 60 percent of the capital will be used as working capital to support operational expansion. The remainder will fund roastery upgrades, revamp packaging, and launch new products, aimed at enhancing both quality and consumer experience. Toffee Coffee Roasters currently produces over five tonnes of coffee monthly and aims to scale output to 50 tonnes, reflecting a tenfold increase to meet rising market demand.
The brand, which gained national visibility following its appearance on Shark Tank India, currently holds an estimated 1–2 percent share of the domestic coffee market and ranks among the top five online coffee platforms in terms of digital traction. Its growth trajectory underscores the increasing preference among Indian consumers for premium, at-home coffee experiences, moving beyond traditional café consumption.
Inflection Point Ventures, which has deployed over Rs 800 crore across 250 startups, highlighted that Toffee Coffee Roasters is tapping into a rapidly expanding segment. Analysts note that India’s specialty coffee market has been growing steadily, driven by urban consumers seeking quality, convenience, and curated coffee offerings at home.
Co-founder and CEO of Toffee Coffee Roasters said the funding will allow the brand to strengthen supply chains, improve roasting precision, and enhance product visibility across both digital and offline channels. By upgrading its roastery and diversifying product lines, the company aims to consolidate its position as a premium coffee brand while capturing a larger share of the growing at-home specialty coffee market in India.
With this capital infusion, Toffee Coffee Roasters is poised to accelerate its expansion and meet evolving consumer expectations for high-quality, curated coffee experiences.
