There’s almost nothing as decadent as the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting out of a café. In a fairly unlikely location, amid government quarters and an unglamorous little market in New Delhi, this decadence has been a hallmark at Devan’s, a store that has been selling ground coffee since 1962. Surrounded by small tailoring shops and grocery stores, Devan’s stands like a white oasis in messy New Khanna Market.
