The company also focuses on innovation in its offerings, regularly updating its menu to include new beverages and food items.

In recent years, Café Coffee Day has faced several challenges, including increased competition from international coffee chains and financial difficulties. The sudden demise of its founder, V. G. Siddhartha, in 2019, also impacted the company. Despite these challenges, CCD continues to be a popular destination for coffee lovers.
