Cafe Coffee Day, Abctcl

You can find us at House Number 3226, right in Gali School Wali in the Pahargunj area. If you know Pahargunj, you know it’s one of the busiest and most chaotic parts of Delhi-55. Our place, Cafe Coffee Day, Abctcl, is tucked away in these narrow lanes where there’s always something happening. It’s not like those shiny cafes you see in the big malls. We are a local spot where the walls have some marks and the tables are a bit worn out from years of use. We spend our days brewing coffee and talking to the people who wander in from the street. It’s a lot of noise outside, with rickshaws and vendors, but inside we just focus on the drinks. We don't have a corporate handbook for how to talk to people. We just say what’s on our minds and try to make a decent cup. Sometimes the milk delivery is late or the power goes off in the heat, but we just wait it out. Gali School Wali is a tight space, but it’s full of life. We’ve seen many travelers and locals come through our doors over the years. We aren't trying to be anything fancy. We are just here in the heart of Pahargunj, doing our thing and keeping the coffee going for whoever needs a break from the outside world. It’s a simple, honest way to spend the day. We stay open until the streets finally get quiet.
