8th Day Cafe & Bakery: If you are in or around Mullick Bazar, Hindustan Park or Salt Lake, and if you love espresso and ice cream, the much-loved 8th Day has a regular Affogato at Rs. 249 and a Brownie Sundae Affogato at Rs. 289. We suggest starting with a Tree-Layer Tortilla with some good ol’ Chicken Caesar Salad, and ending with one of the affogato picks

WayPoint: The classic Italian dessert is quite popular at Waypoint on Sarat Bose Road. At Rs. 200, it’s perfect to dig into after some Durga Puja shopping. Binge on all things sweet, starting with Affogato and moving on to their lemony Cheesecake and redeem all the calories you lost making it through the (in)famous shopping ‘bheed’

Abar Baithak: The popular Jodhpur Park cafe has its very own version of this coffee-and-ice-cream pick. At Abar Baithak, the viral dessert comes for Rs. 220, and with some chocolate toppings. If you are a Ray or Feluda fan, this cafe is worth a stop. Have the trending dessert after a plate of Grilled Pork Chops and you have a happy tummy and IG feed

Calcutta 64: When in Salt Lake, stop by Calcutta 64, or C64 as it is affectionately called, and try out their take on affogato, which is close to the traditional with a shot of espresso poured over some ice cream. Team it up with their Cajun Potato, Grilled Chicken Steak, Fish Meuniere or Funghi Pizza. The C64 version of affogato will cost you Rs. 160

If you are at their Elgin Road or Salt Lake location, definitely try the pizzas and burrata. Pocket pinch for the affogato is Rs. 350
