Barista Cofee

You can find us over in the Doddanna Industrial Estate, right on 1st Main Road in Sector 11. It’s a busy part of the city with a lot of trucks and vans moving through all day long. Our shop is just a small space squeezed between a couple of bigger warehouses. It gets pretty noisy outside with all the heavy machinery running, but inside it’s a bit more peaceful. We spend a lot of time just keeping the place organized. There’s not much room for clutter here. We have a few stools for people to sit on, though most of our customers are in a hurry and don't stay long. The floor is concrete and it’s a bit stained from years of use, but we scrub it every night before we lock up. We don't have a big corporate office or anyone telling us what to do. It’s just us. My friend Ravi helps out on the weekends when it gets extra busy. We buy our supplies from the market nearby. Sometimes they don't have what we need, so we have to make do with what's available. We don't make a big deal out of things. If the coffee machine is acting up, we fix it ourselves. It’s a practical way to live. We’re just here to serve the folks who work in the industrial estate. It's a tough area, but the people are good. There’s a small leak in the roof when it rains heavily, so we keep a bucket handy just in case.
