Sri A Padma Coffee Shop

You can find us at 63/97-5 in Manjunath Nagar, which is part of the Rajajinagar area. It’s a small space, really, and we don't have much room for anything other than the essentials. We’ve been here for a bit now, just doing our thing with the coffee every day. Every morning, the first thing I do is get the grinder going, and that loud sound pretty much fills the whole street for a while. It’s a bit noisy, but it’s just how we start things off. We keep the shop open quite late because people around here seem to want their coffee at odd hours of the night. The walls are a bit plain, maybe they need a fresh coat of paint soon, but for now, they do the job just fine. We have some sacks of raw beans sitting in the back corner because there isn't much storage space left. If you walk in, you’ll probably see me or one of the guys just weighing out portions on the old scale we’ve had for years. It’s not a fancy cafe with couches and music playing. It’s more of a place where you stand and wait for your bag or have a quick cup before catching the bus down the road. Sometimes the rain leaks a little near the front shutter when it’s heavy, so we have to keep a mop nearby. It’s just a normal, everyday business for us. Most of our regulars have been coming for a long time.
