    The coffee Museum is good to visit. The coffee Museum and Tribal Museum are next to each other. The people who love coffee can enjoy this museum much better. In this Museum we can find the different cultural people and how the coffee has been from ancient civilization. Here we can find different types of coffee, different type of choclates made from coffee and spices.

    It's a must visit area if you want to visit Araku specially for the coffee lovers. There are lots of models & pictures with description about history of discovery of coffee drinking, plantation, preparation & how coffee seeds transported to India & cultivation started- no doubt an amazing experience. There are various types of coffees with different flavor and taste are available for drinking. Besides, various types of chocolates, coffee powder with different flavors & tastes, ice creams, cakes are available for purchase at reasonable prices. It's a heaven for coffee lovers to take taste & flavor in such a descent ambiance.

    Coffee Museum Overview One of the places to visit in Araku Valley is the Coffee Museum. In 1930, a migrant by name Prakash Rao had set up a catering service for tourists to highlight the uniqueness of the Arabica Coffee. In 1954, he started a Coffee house, which catered to foreign delegates and coffee traders. However, it is now open to all. The museum manned by educated tribal staff showcase a series of pictures detailing the origin and history of coffee. They market 60 varieties of coffees and an array of 600 coffee-chocolates. Visitors can satiate their hunger and appease their craving by indulging in delicacies such as chocolates, sandwiches, brownies, mousses, tarts, etc and savor stimulating coffees. Location: Visakhapatnam Road, Araku, Andhra Pradesh. Price: Entry Fee is Rs. 10 per person. Timing: Monday-Sunday from 09:00 a.m. to 08:00 p.m.

    A must visit if you are in Araku Valley. This place smells of coffee and it felt very divine for a coffee lover like me. The museum shows us the local history of the coffee plantation and the shop is filled with different treats made from coffee and of course coffee itself. The cafe there also serves a variety of both hot and cold coffees.

    Araku Valley is a hidden gem that exceeded my expectations. The lush green landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and the rich cultural experience made it a memorable trip. Katiki and Chaparai Waterfalls were breathtaking, offering a serene escape into nature. The culinary highlight was undoubtedly the Bamboo Chicken – a unique and flavorful dish that shouldn't be missed. The Tribal Museum provided valuable insights into the indigenous culture. Araku Valley's charm lies in its simplicity and the warmth of its people. I left with a sense of rejuvenation and a deep appreciation for this offbeat destination. Highly recommended for nature lovers and those seeking an authentic cultural experience.

    The place illustrates every detail about origin an development of Coffee in the world. There are excellent images and details regarding it. There is aura of coffee all around. They have a cafe too and offer almost all varieties of coffee as a beverage. Apart form that the place is a bit overpriced the entry fee itself if ₹80/- per person which is too much with regards to what this place offers. The beverages in the cafe taste good.

    This museum is located behind the bus station and is also walkable distance from Tribal Museum. Entry ticket as of this writing is 20/adult; 10/Child. There is also ample parking near the museum for free. I am not much impressed with this museum compared to Tribal Museum. Very few things to offer and nothing exciting. You can visit if you have time, or else make it as optional

    Coffee Museum is another place one has to visit if you have ever been to Araku. One can enjoy and get some knowledge on how coffee is processed. One can enjoy coffee and snacks as well as buy coffee beans and coffee powder. Buy handy craft items, which would obviously be little bit costly. Enjoy by playing games like Bull Riding, cricket, play drums, archery, gun shooting and many more Overall experience would be exciting and kids would really enjoy a visit to this place.

    Very unique experience in the coffee museum. If you visit with your children it can be a full day fiesta as the museum has archery, bull riding, cricket. Also, we can get a multitude of cuisines like Pizza, Burgers here. But the winner in all this is of course the different coffees which you can try here. Multiple varieties of coffees which is a heaven for a coffee lover. The icing on the cake is that you can buy coffee chocolates along with many varieties of coffees.

    The Coffee Museum in Araku Valley, Odisha is a great place to visit for coffee lovers. You can sip on a refreshing local filter coffee and grab a sandwich or chocolates while learning about the history of coffee. The museum is small but informative. Overall, it's a nice place to stop by while exploring the beautiful Araku Valley. I must recommend you to visit this place. Get familiar with the history of coffee and buy some expensive coffees also 🫣

    Very nicely made. Entry ticket is 20rs per person. Kept Araku coffee story with miniatures which is very attractive. Inside the museum you can shop araku coffee seeds, different coffee flavor powder. Hand made chocolates can be stored at room temperature. Handcraft shopping area is there. Small food court. Little gaming area like gun shooting, bow n arrow etc are there.

    COFFEE STORE is a more apt name for this visitor stop. Unsure why it’s called a museum 🤔 when we have no history or exhibits. There’s a large store with a wide variety of coffee chocolates and coffee powder. One can get a bit of education on types of coffee.

  • 2/5 Crazy T. 5 months ago on Google • 223 reviews
    There is nothing like a museum it's just a collective group of shops. Mainly they sell coffee , chocolates and spices.Pure coffee beans and powder you can buy from here.Entery Ticket is 20 rs . There is a small cafe which sells most of popular types of coffee ☕.

    It is an okish coffee museum. Not maintained well. Has decent info about history of coffee. Very poorly maintained portraits, lights and other things. Two small rooms with some exhibits. You won't miss much if you skip it.

    Woww coffee museum 😍😍 here u can buy coffee n local made chocolate n sweet which is made from coffee. Price is average regarding coffee n sweet.

  • 5/5 Ajey K. 3 years ago on Google
    The Coffee shop and the store are excellent. The chocolates are packaged well(some of them anyway). The aroma of coffee in this place is very inviting. This easily justified the ₹10 entrance fee. The museum is what it is... Milage depends on your internet. The place also gets very crowded, very quickly, so social distancing is not really a thing.

    The coffee museum is very informative and interesting. The coffee is too good. Though there are many places in Vizag that sell Aaraku coffee, they lack that coffee smell. There's a recreation park with a few stalls. Only drawback are the mosquitoes. Also there is a place that sells handcrafted high priced items.

    Coffee museum is a fun place to be. It’s lively with tribal dances. Wide variety of coffee. Ethnic coffee was my favourite. Peaberry was too dark but worth a try. Chocolate coffee truffle with orange was great! They’d cute tribal chairs. Entry fee is only 10 per person. It closes at 8pm. There are a lot of rides if you want to try. They also show the entire coffee journey, how and where coffee came from. All in all good place to spend 1-2 hrs.

    👍You will get very good varieties of coffee here to drink or buy. Place is decorated nicely with everything handcrafted. 👎But it's not worth unless you're hardcore coffee lover. 👍A small exhibition of different coffee origins and history is shown inside which is interesting. Rest are all shops for coffee and some food. 👎Sandwich and pizza stall was worst. Very bad pizza. 👍There are some activities available for kids, a small park, trampoline, archery, bull ride, net cricket etc.

    The museum showcases various aspects of coffee production, from plantation to brewing, and educates visitors about the cultural significance of coffee in the area. the Araku Coffee House was set up by Prakash Rao, a migrant to the area. While the coffee house was first established as a catering business, it eventually expanded into a small museum tracing the history of coffee in the Araku Valley. The museum features tableaus with dolls depicting the processes involved in making coffee and the Sampoorna Coffee Gallery exhibits dioramas about the history of the bean. The murals also illustrate the journey of coffee from being berries to being ground and roasted and brewed in a cup. Established in 2006, the museum is now maintained by Rao’s sons Naresh Amelia, Santosh Kumar and Gopal Rao. The Valley, which is located in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh, approximately 130 km away from the city of Visakhapatnam, was introduced to coffee plantations in 1898 by the British civil servant N.S. Brodie. Since this colonial genesis of the plantations in Andhra Pradesh, the Araku tribal coffee farmers have been engaged in the art of cultivating coffee.The interactive exhibits and demonstrations make it an engaging visit for coffee enthusiasts. Additionally, the museum often offers tastings of locally grown coffee, allowing visitors to savor the distinct flavors of Araku coffee. Overall, it's a fascinating stop to delve into the world of coffee amidst the picturesque setting of Araku Valley.The museum shows us the local history of the coffee plantation and the shop is filled with different treats made from coffee and of course coffee itself. The cafe there also serves a variety of both hot and cold coffees.This area near araku bus stand All veriety s of coffee evailable Inside the coffee musium chocolate musium different types of chocklets evailable Entry ticket 20 ₹ Here One can experience the evolution : How the coffee came to india and farmers started producing coffee plantations and made coffee out of it. Apart from that, this museum also have wide varieties of authentic original coffee made out of beans write in front of us and served, small stall for coffee chocolates and lollipops (additional cost), sitting option (tables for sit and eat) Tip : Try Arabic coffee & Ethinic Coffee lucikily when i Visited there was a small band team played music for 15 mins, i don't know it'll be all the time.Must try the chocolates made by coffee and also must try the work famous Araku coffee here. Also visit the hand made gifting items. Which are affordable in cost. Parking is available - enough parking no cost Best' place Must visit everyone

    Okay, this museum is pretty small and wasn't in the best shape, but we had fun and the coffee was great! I had arabica coffee, while my younger cousins tried the hot chocolate and the classic cold coffee - everybody was happy with their orders. The hot coffees come with separate sugar, so I was happy to mix it exactly how I like it.

  • 4/5 Sri V. 3 years ago on Google
    Visited here twice... The ambience is the best, the tribal dance exhibit is also good but the thing is it is q commercial expo/museum or whatever they want to call it. U dont get to experience the verities here properly, the sales executives are tired as hell all day and dint respond well. Being a coffee museum is all for the show. They just sell the coffee grown there at a very high but reasonable price which can 9nly be bought and tried after taking it from there. The in house coffee shop doesnt provide samples or any info even if u pay. Yet if u are a coffe lover like me , u must visit this place once, put everything i said aside and try stuff your way and yourself. Thankyou for your time

    Concept wise this is really great musium which depicts complete history of coffee since invention. Detailed information with relevant statues is organised in descent way. Many old utensils from historic era as well as the coffee machines are kept in the museum. Only hitch is that no APTDC officer seems bothered about maintenance of the museum. Many lights are not working... Good film showing complete coffee is displayed on low resolution TV set!!! When HDTV is available for as low as 15K not sure who selected such cheap quality set Garden is also left on its own and dirty... Inspite of said problems this place scores 4 stars by TrekBook India See video coverage of the review on YouTube channel of TrekBook India

    Not worth a visit. If you have too much money & free time you can visit. It’s just a hype & pricy. Went with my family. - it’s just a snap & toys to understand how coffee is prepared. - coffee power was expensive - eatables are of low quality
