Indian Coffee House with 60 years of excellence
August 7, 2010
Many restaurants and coffee shops are owned or managed by the owners or partners but there is only one place where the ownership is with the Employees and that is none other than the Indian Coffee House. Starting from the 50′s itself they are making the keralites enjoy with the unblended rich coffee and food served by amiable waiters clad in stiffly – starched uniform in a unique classical ambiance.Over the years, the society has sticked on to the traditional values of good taste, courteous service and unmatched quality.These values were and still are what makes Indian Coffee House the biggest restaurant chain in Kerala. The society now has a chain with over 51 outlets and associate canteens operating in all major towns from Thrissur to Thiruvananthapuram. They proudly upholds the traditions of our pioneers that have earned us the love and loyalty of hundreds of customers. The society has received appreciation and support from Govt and public which is gratefully remembered.
With the name of “COFFEE BOARD” when started in 1940′s and during the time of British rule due to several reasons the board was subjected to close down and so many lost there jobs but with the courage and support of a strong and well known Communist Leader com. A.K.G ( Ayillyath Kuttiari Gopalan Nambiar ) took over the leadership of the said employees and organized Societies all over India in different states.That is “INDIA COFFEE BOARD WORKER’S CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY” . Later the Coffee Board came to be known as the “INDIAN COFFEE HOUSE”.
The jurisdiction of Indian Coffee House extends from Thrissur to Thiruvananthapuram.50 Indian Coffee Houses are running across Kerala from Thrissur to Trivandrum under the control of India Coffee Board Worker’s Co-operative Society Ltd. No.4227, Thrissur. The Society registered with District Industries Center, Thrissur. It is very cheerful to inform that its branches is functioning in Kerala Govt. Secretariat, M.L.A. Hostel, Legislature Secretariat, Govt. Medical Colleges, Cochin University Campus, N.T.P.C. and some other Pvt. Medical colleges, and institutions etc. With regard to Kerala this coffee house is considered as a big Restaurant chain.
The Indian Coffee House has got prestige and proud not only in Kerala but also in different parts of India.The first Indian Coffee House was opened in New Delhi on 27 October 1957. Gradually, the Indian Coffee House chain expanded across the country, with branches in Pondicherry, Thrissur, Lucknow, Nagpur, Jabalpur, Mumbai, Kolkata, Tellicherry and Pune by the end of 1958.But the Society was registered in Thrissur so the head office of Indian Coffee House is at Thrissur. Still with many support from the Employees the Indian Coffee House is running to achieve its pride and excellence and there support is there customers.
I have heard stories of the previous generations going to the ICH for their discussions over coffee and all that…but these days, its worse than a normal tea shop with unkempt uniforms and bad food.

on August 10th, 2010today by 9 pm i visited indian coffee house with my wife in medical college , the waiter which attented was just horrible, we ordered chappathy and khorma his name was vineeth, after taking the order this guy wandered for one hour and send an other guy to take order, when coming with family for reputed hotels like urs , such guys will spoil the reputation . So be careful while appointing such beggars
