The intimate 200 sq. ft. café pairs specialty coffee, freshly prepared desserts and an easygoing setting for everyday coffee-and-dessert rituals.
In a city where cafés are increasingly becoming part of the everyday social landscape, OCAD is taking a more intimate approach. Founded by Raag Dhawan, the independently owned neighbourhood café has opened its doors in Shivalik with a simple proposition: bring together a genuinely good cup of coffee and a great dessert in one approachable setting.
Located within a compact 200 sq. ft. space at the DDA Complex on Shivalik Road, OCAD has been designed around the idea of an everyday neighbourhood stop rather than an elaborate café experience. The space features casual indoor seating alongside a small patio-style outdoor area, offering customers the option to linger over coffee, pick up a dessert or make a quick visit part of their daily routine.

Coffee, Cookies & Contemporary Desserts
OCAD’s menu keeps its focus firmly on specialty coffee and contemporary desserts. The coffee selection includes cold brews, cold foam coffees and the OCAD Signature Iced Coffee, positioned as the café’s hero beverage.
On the dessert side, the menu features freshly prepared favourites including cookies, cookie tubs and bomboloni, alongside other contemporary sweet offerings.
The idea is deliberately uncomplicated: quality coffee, fresh desserts and flavours that can work equally well for a casual catch-up, an afternoon pick-me-up or a quick takeaway.
A Vegetarian, Eggless Menu
OCAD follows an entirely vegetarian format, with all its desserts being 100% eggless. The approach reflects the brand’s emphasis on ingredient-conscious preparation while making its menu accessible to a wider range of customers.
Rather than building an expansive menu from the outset, the café has chosen to keep its offering focused, allowing the brand to understand what its neighbourhood customers return for and gradually evolve from there.
Starting Small, Growing Organically
For the coming quarter, OCAD’s priority is brand discovery and product awareness, particularly among customers looking for quality coffee and desserts that can seamlessly become part of their everyday routines.
The brand is intentionally not working towards a rigid expansion roadmap at this stage. Instead, its immediate focus remains on its first location, understanding customer preferences and allowing the concept to develop organically.
At its core, OCAD is built around a simple neighbourhood ritual — coffee, something sweet and a reason to come back.
