Type Specialty Coffee Cafe
Location Gurgaon
Client Half Light Coffee Roasters


From farm to cup, in a room built on soft light.

Half Light Coffee Roasters brings its Jaipur-roasted, direct-trade Indian Arabica to Gurgaon in a calm, light-filled cafe of warm oak, textured plaster, and quiet neutrals — a space that lets the coffee do the talking.

A crisp white fluted fascia carries the Half Light sunrise emblem across a corner storefront, with full-height, oak-framed glazing that opens the cafe to the mall concourse and puts the warm glow of the interior on display. A dedicated service bay with a glass pastry counter and digital menu boards sits alongside, framed in black steel grid glazing.

Inside, textured off-white plaster walls and an exposed black ceiling with track spotlights set a relaxed backdrop for a range of seating: long taupe banquettes with round terrazzo-look tables, a window-side lounge of barrel armchairs and sofas, oak bar ledges with high stools, and communal tables for longer stays. Open oak shelving holds beans, brew gear, books, and curated art, bringing the roaster's craft-first personality into the room.

Design Strategy

Identity A white fluted storefront with the Half Light sunrise emblem and oak-framed glazing gives the brand a calm, premium presence in a busy mall setting
Materials Warm oak joinery, textured plaster, terrazzo-look tabletops, and taupe and charcoal upholstery play against an exposed black ceiling and grey stone-look flooring
Flow A front service bay keeps quick orders moving, while banquettes, a window lounge, bar ledges, and communal tables zone the floor for grab-and-go, work sessions, and long catch-ups

Frequently Asked Questions

What design elements define the Half Light Coffee Roasters interior?

Half Light's Gurgaon cafe pairs warm oak joinery and timber-framed glazing with textured off-white plaster walls, taupe upholstered seating, and an exposed black ceiling with ducting and track spotlights — a calm, understated palette that keeps the focus on the coffee.

Highlights include a crisp white fluted storefront with the Half Light sunrise emblem, full-height glazing that opens the cafe to the mall concourse, a window-side lounge with barrel armchairs, an oak bar ledge with high stools, long banquette runs with round terrazzo-look tables, and an open-shelf oak display wall for beans and brew gear.

The cafe follows a warm minimalist style — soft neutrals, natural oak, and textured plaster balanced against an industrial exposed ceiling, creating a quiet, light-led space suited to specialty coffee and slow brewing.

The interior is designed by SprintCo, India's F&B design-build studio, which delivered Half Light's Gurgaon outlet to carry the Jaipur roaster's calm, craft-first identity into a high-footfall mall location.

Half Light is a Jaipur-based specialty coffee roaster that sources Indian specialty Arabica directly from farms in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, roasting it in-house and serving it alongside brewing gear such as the French Press, AeroPress, and Hario V60.
