Shinestar Cafe Private Limited

Our cafe is tucked away in Versova Layout, right near the CV Raman Nagar post office. It’s on 5th Cross, which isn't the easiest to find if you’re not from around this part of Bangalore. We’ve got the 106/2 spot. The neighborhood is mostly quiet, which we like, though the traffic near the main road can get a bit much during the rush hour. We opened Shinestar because we live nearby and wanted to run a business in our own area. It’s a simple place, really. We spend most of our mornings setting up the tables and making sure the kitchen is ready. The staff are mostly local guys who walk to work. We don't have a huge menu, just things we know how to make well. Sometimes the rain leaks a bit near the front door when it’s heavy, so we keep a mop handy. It’s not like those big chains you see in the malls. We know most of the people who stop by by their first names. We go through a lot of milk and sugar every day. There’s always someone sitting in the corner with a book or just staring at the street. We don’t do much advertising, people just sort of find us or hear about us from a neighbor. It’s a steady way to spend the day, keeping the place clean and making sure the coffee stays hot. We just take it one day at a time here.
