Saphire

Saphire is located over on Wheeler's Road Extension in Cooke Town. If you know Bangalore at all, you know this part of town has a lot of old trees and a bit of a slower pace than the rest of the city. Our place is at number 100. It is a simple setup, nothing too grand or over the top. We have been around this neighborhood for a while now, and we have seen the streets change quite a bit as new buildings go up. It is mostly locals who drop by. We do our daily business without much fuss or noise. The building itself is just like the others on the street. We do not spend much on advertising or big signs. Usually, people just hear about us from their neighbors or friends. It is a nice spot to work in because the area is not as loud as the city center. Cooke Town has that old Bangalore feel that is getting harder to find these days. We keep things pretty informal here. You might find us sitting out front or just busy inside with whatever needs doing that day. Karnataka is a big state, but for us, it is just this little corner of 560005. We are not trying to be the biggest or the most famous place in the world. We just want to do our job and be a part of the local community. It is a steady life, and we like it that way.
