This was literally our go to place for a snack during office. They have amazing sandwiches. Do try the cheese sandwich here
This is my go to place if I'm feeling blue. Typically order tea and malai toast with a cigarette. Service is good, but wouldn't recommend if you're particular about hygiene because it's a roadside chai dukan. No proper arrangements except plastic stools in car park.
But I love their tea!

Kona dukan has been my go to place for breakfast forever here in Kolkata. It is just the best and just my favourite place to be early in the morning. It serves you the best chai and also do try the chilli cheese sandwich. It isn’t a very fancy place with crazy ambiance or something. It’s preferable to go there with your own car and park it somewhere nearby, the people at the store will come and take orders from your car as well and serve you there as well. But surely, you’re gonna love it after you have breakfast there, i can bet.

The best time to catch this place is between 3.30 to 5 when after a good or a bad day u get a refreshments and a full chit chat session over a cup of tea they have some real sandwich varieties
The go to place for all hungry hogs around 4 am - 10 am if what I felt about this place. There would be many small eateries around serving almost same food and taste as others. Hence the reason one should go here is to get the feeling of being served fresh food at 4 am. I love the malai toast here.
Visited this place on 12th Jan 2020.
Location:
As the name suggests its located right at the corner and beside the stock exchange building.
As it's a road side joint, they will get you chairs and stools to sit beside the road.
Lets talk food now:
1. The Kesari chai is a must try.
2. The taste of Malai toast was just out of this world.(i loved it very much)
3. Was speechless after tasting the mushroom sandwich.
4. They serve samosa too.(which was over by the time we reached)
Staffs:
Got a very warm welcome from the staffs. They were fast and the food was also prepared and served in a jiffy.
Verdict:
Overall this place is a perfect chai and adda spot and not much known by today's generation.
P.S.: Visit on a Sunday evening if you and your friends want to enjoy a calm weekend evening tea and snacks.
I wanted to taste famous malai toast for a long time.So finally this sunday evening we visited kona dukan.We ordered malai toast,mushroom toast,kesar chai.

Will surely visit again.Staffs were polite and welcoming.sandwiches were served really quick

The perfect adda for today's generation kids. If you haven't visited to this place then you should must. The malai toast and big tea is the perfect combination of breakfast and snacks. It's my hangout place as well.
An evergreen breakfast scene at Kolkata’s Stock Exchange where a cup of chai in a mud pot and a slice of malai toast is a must. Their popularity makes them a common choice for destination weddings, and I was lucky to find one at a party in ITC Grand Bharat, Gurgaon. ⠀

This place was on my wishlist from so long. We went on a Sunday morning for a good breakfast. We had chai, schezwen dosa, laasi, corn cheese & capsicum sandwich. Good place for breakfast definitely.
Food quality is good.
Service is nice and fast..
Place is usually crowded but you don't have to wait for your seat.
The seating method is unique and cool.
Best place to chill with friends, family and friends for breakfast and evening snacks.
Parking facility is available and free.
Food quality is very good. Staffs are well behaved. Malai toast is the showstopper along with Cheese Corn sandwich. Appropriate for breakfast.
A must try for all.
its a small tea shop (dukan) in a corner (kona) of a street beside calcutta stock exchange and writers building and hence the name kona dukan.
the place has an awesome atmosphere in the morning, buzzing mainly with morning walkers and also college students. The place opens fairly early by 5AM and by 10, almost all the crowd is gone.
i tried the club kachori and malai toast... and both of them were quite good. bread was topped with sugar and club kachori sabji was also good.
Overall a good experience.
The moment one enters the lane leading to Lalbazar, there are a bunch of shops on both sides of the street, all eager to serve customers. But one can't miss the guys from Kona dokan who are dressed in red tees with the name of their shop proudly occupying the backside of the tee. They lead you to the end of the land which is where this iconic outlet is located. The malai sandwich here tastes heavenly since both the bread and malai is fresh. I tried out their chili cheese toast, which they customized for me without capsicum. The cheese was tasty and the sandwich that came with ketchup and chilli sauce almost melted in my mouth. They hardly take 5-8 minutes to serve though every item is freshly prepared. I couldn't stop myself from trying out their singaras which tasted heavenly. Saw a few people eat club kachoris and a man order dosa too. They serve kesar tea, which tasted fab. There are a number of chairs for customers to seat in front of the shop and around it. I sat inside the car parked beside the shop and savored the food. However, the prices are slightly on the higher side compared to other iconic outlets in similar settings.
Good place for breakfast... I tried lassi, cheese veg sandwich, butter toast, and milk tea. It was fine. But they charged 185 rupi for all these.. That feels a bit expensive in a street shop in Kolkata.
One of the best place to have sunday breakfast . Had great experience with service & atmosphere. From Aston Martins to altos , every level people are having the same food there . Food is also good .
No trip to kolkata is complete without a chai-toast from a street joint and no place does it better than Kona Dukan
Lived the place
Service is superb
Each and every item was good
Malai toast is the best
Idli was too good
Dosa was also good
Aloo sandwich with cheese was very tasty
Its very inexpensive
We went at 10 it was all empty
Weather was pleasant
Specially the service is very good.
Amazing foodings I loved it this is one of the best place for having breakfast👌🏻 Loved the vibe here crowd is amazing and everything they serve here is super good in taste staff behaviour is also good must visit place for early morning breakfast or brunch
Sandwich with malai and sugar. The loaf of bread was so good, mind-boggling it was, totally fresh, reminded me of the freshness from my younger years
There was a person from the shop who served us right from when we took a turn into the street till we left
Tea with kesar, real kesar, fantastic aroma in an earthen pot
I have tried these two, and it is a must visit place if you want to experience the old Kolkata
Of course there was the kolkota stock exchange which is now defunct, but it was reminiscent of the old days
