Customer Finds Cockroach in Iced Latte at L'Opéra's Khan Market Outlet: 'Thought It Was A Coffee Bean'

A customer visited L’Opéra’s Khan Market outlet in Delhi on October 4 and ordered an iced latte along with a salted caramel coffee for takeaway. However, when they sat in their car to enjoy their iced latte, they were horrified. What initially seemed like a coffee bean was, in fact, a cockroach floating in the iced latte. The customer soon returned to the outlet to show them the dead cockroach floating in their iced tea. Although the staff apologised for the foreign particle, the customer said that they showed “no real concern at all”.

“I visited L’Opéra today in Khan Market and ordered an iced latte to go. When I opened the drink, I thought I saw a coffee bean floating around, but when I flipped it over, it was a freaking cockroach,” wrote the customer who goes by “WaltzSimple6037” on Reddit.

They added, “I’m seriously questioning how clean this place is now. What made it worse was how the staff handled it—they were so nonchalant and just kept saying sorry like robots, no real concern at all. If hygiene is this bad at such a well-known cafe, I can’t even imagine what it’s like at other places in India.”

“Anyone else had similar issues here or at other cafes? This was such a letdown,” the Redditor further asked.

“It’s not a bug, it’s a feature,” joked an individual.

Another added, “There are no food standards in India, even when you pay such a high price for a drink. Post it on X and tag their account.”

“That’s a special ingredient,” yet another punny comment read.

A fourth sarcastically said, “How considerate of them to add protein to the latte.”

“You can complain about it on the FSSAI website and also opt for consumer complaint for the problem,” suggested a fifth.

The Redditor stated that they have lodged a complaint with the FSSAI and also filed a legal complaint.
