Where to Brunch
Whether you’re catching up with your college gang, celebrating with your work besties, or planning a leisurely Sunday brunch, these are our favorite Friendship Day picks around Noida.
📸 Best for Instagram Moments
Habidade (Sector 104) is one of Noida’s most photographed cafes, with earthy interiors and spacious seating for groups. Roastery Coffee House (Sector 144) has industrial-chic decor with excellent natural light for morning visits. Café Caffeinated (Sector 144) pairs specialty coffee with bright interiors and generous breakfast plates. The Haven, Say Fontina and Ka Eclairs & Kafe are also worth a look for ambience.
Choose these if half the fun is filling your camera roll.
- Habidade (Sector 104) – Stylish interiors, plenty of natural light, and spacious seating for groups.
- Roastery Coffee House (Sector 144) – Great coffee, industrial-chic décor, and one of Noida’s most photogenic café spaces.
👥 Best for Large Groups
The Punjab Club (Sector 142) suits North Indian comfort food in a spacious setting, while The Patiala Kitchen (Sector 18) works well for family-style Punjabi sharing plates. Habidade’s indoor and outdoor seating also handles bigger gatherings comfortably. Book ahead as weekends are the busiest slot.
Skip the cramped cafés if you’re meeting with six or more friends.
- The Punjab Club (Sector 142) – Comfortable seating and generous North Indian sharing platters.
- The Patiala Kkitchen (Sector 18) – Ideal for family-style Punjabi meals.
- Habidade also works well for larger gatherings thanks to its indoor and outdoor seating.
Noida Diary Tip: Reserve your table in advance if you’re visiting between 11am and 2pm on Sunday.
☕ Best Coffee & Conversations
If your idea of Friendship Day is slowing down over great coffee, these cafés won’t disappoint.
- Café Caffeinated (Sector 144) – Excellent coffee and all-day breakfast.
- Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters – Consistently good brews in a relaxed setting for long conversations.
💸 Great Food Without Spending Big
Good food doesn’t have to come with a hefty bill.
- The Black Coffee Café (Sector 62) – Budget-friendly and open 24×7.
- The Cafe Artist (Sector 18) – Perfect if you’re already exploring the Sector 18 market.
Order sharing platters or split desserts to keep the bill affordable for everyone.
Noida Diary Tip: Most Sector 104 cafes are a short walk from one another. If your first choice has a wait, turn it into a cafe hop instead.
Friendship Day Ideas Beyond Cafés
Brunch is great, but if your gang would rather compete than just catch up over coffee, Noida has plenty of ways to make Friendship Day memorable.
🍺Brewery Hopping
Swap coffee for craft beer and spend the evening brewery hopping. Noidawery has locations in Sector 90, Sector 63 and Greater Noida, each worth a stop if your gang prefers a pint over a party. 2nd August is not a dry day in the region, so breweries and pubs operate as usual.
Friends who bond over craft beer rather than coffee have plenty of options.
- Noidawery (Sector 90, Sector 63 & Greater Noida)
- The Irish House, Gardens Galleria
- Ministry of Daru, Gardens Galleria
Noida Diary Tip: Friendship Day falls on a Sunday, so expect breweries to be busiest after 6pm. Reserve a table if you’re visiting with a group.
🔐 Escape Rooms
Mystery Rooms (Sector 41) and The Hidden Hour are solid picks if your friend group runs on puzzles rather than dance floors. You’ll have around 60 minutes to crack clues, solve mysteries and escape before time runs out.
Perfect for groups who enjoy solving puzzles together rather than sitting around a table.
- Mystery Rooms, Sector 41
- The Hidden Hour, Noida
🎯 Battle It Out – Paintball, Laser Tag & Gaming
Turn Friendship Day into a friendly competition. Lazer Crazer has two branches: Sector 32 (Wave City Centre) and Sector 141 (near Sector 142 school). Gods Paintball at Spectrum Metro, Sector 75, is built for a squad that wants a proper battlefield reel. Glued Supercharged (Sector 96) rounds it out with bowling, VR and arcade gaming for groups who want a bit of everything under one roof.
Ideal for large groups looking for something more active than brunch.
- Gods Paintball, Spectrum Metro, Sector 75
- Lazer Crazer, Wave City Centre (Sector 32) & Sector 141
- Glued Supercharged, Sector 96 for bowling, VR, arcade games and more.
🛍️ Keep It Simple
Sometimes the best plan is the easiest one.
Meet for brunch, browse your favourite mall, catch a movie, enjoy dessert, or simply spend the afternoon wandering through DLF Mall of India, Gardens Galleria, or Gulshan One29. Friendship Day doesn’t need an elaborate itinerary—good company is usually enough.
Noida Diary’s Take: If you’re planning the whole day, pair one activity with a meal. For example, brunch followed by an escape room, or paintball followed by dinner at a nearby brewery. It keeps the day relaxed without trying to squeeze in too much.
Whether you’re catching up over brunch, competing in an escape room, dancing at a Friendship Day party, or simply sharing coffee with your oldest friend, Noida has plenty of ways to celebrate Friendship Day 2026. We’ll keep updating this guide as more events are announced, so bookmark this page and check back before the weekend.
