who we are

alag is a small backyard coffee shop built for those who seek stillness in a busy world. Surrounded by coconut trees, birds, and grainy walls that carry stories, our space invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and feel more. We’re here for artists, readers, thinkers, and wanderers; people building quietly, honestly, and with care.

why we exist

We created alag to carve out a space for quiet minds in a noisy world. A place that feels like home, but also like a discovery. Here, we believe in the power of small rituals, morning brews, ambient soundtracks, shared silences, progressive conversations to stir something deep and lasting.

women at the heart

alag is a women-led space, with over 90% of our team made up of women who lead, craft, and care with intention. We believe that when women take the lead, something shifts, there’s a warmth, a finesse, and a quiet strength that reflects in everything, from the coffee you sip to the feeling you carry when you leave.

coffee from our homeland

We brew coffees with roots, bringing you beans from the remote, lesser-known lands of Northeast India, where we come from. It’s a region rich in beauty, rhythm, and untold stories. Our coffees carry those stories forward, connecting people to the land and its quiet power.

We bake and brew coffee with care and curiosity. Our playlists are journeys. Our spaces are designed to host not just people, but storytellers. Our space is imperfect, and that’s the point. We want it to feel lived in like something you’re part of, not just passing through.

our practice

a slow, intentional community

alag isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. We’re building something slow, exclusive, and deeply resonant. Not to exclude, but to preserve intimacy and meaning. This is for people who don’t need to be loud to be heard. If that feels like you, you already belong.
