16th August 2025 , Agra, India: The Hazelnut Factory, a rapidly expanding speciality coffee, artisanal sweets and café brand rooted in Lucknow, now proudly unveils its 15th outlet in the heart of Agra, inviting guests to experience a unique fusion of artisanal mithai, coffee and cultural heritage.
The launch of THF was made even more special by the presence of our esteemed Chief Guest, Smt. Hemlata Diwakar, Hon’ble Mayor of Agra Municipal Corporation, who inaugurated the outlet on August 12th, 2025, with a ceremonial ribbon cutting & she was welcomed by Mr. Ankit Sahni (Founder & CEO of The Hazelnut Factory) & Mr. Badal Sahni (Co-founder & COO of The Hazelnut Factory)
THF’s aesthetic inspiration lies in the charm of European cafés, brought to life with a distinctly Indian sensibility. The iconic blue interiors exude warmth, creating an inviting space that resonates with the brand’s ethos: The Joy of Crafting the Best. Every product at THF reflects this philosophy—whether it’s their single-estate coffee sourced from Chikmagalur, the signature artisanal mithai like the trademarked Labon™, or their indulgent pastries that marry global techniques with local flavours.
This edition focuses on Baklava, a reimagined dessert rooted with regional flavours, crafted to complement The Hazelnut Factory’s finest coffee blends. It’s a sensory celebration—where taste, texture, and tradition converge.
As part of its latest cultural campaign, THF playfully imagines Emperor Shahjahan stepping into the café. The message? Even Shahjahan would’ve loved our coffee. It’s royal drama meets contemporary charm—an invitation to experience Agra’s legacy through a modern lens.
“With every new outlet, we aim to deepen our connection with the city’s soul. Agra’s legacy deserves more than admiration—it deserves participation. Through Contemporary interiors and our cultural campaign, we’re inviting people to not just drink coffee, but to experience heritage.”— Ankit Sahni, Founder & CEO, The Hazelnut Factory

From casual coffee dates to celebratory moments, THF offers a menu that bridges tradition and modernity.
