Cafe Coffee Day

You can find us at Flat No-006, B-17 in the Aparna Apartment-1 complex. We are right there in Shalimar Garden, Extension-2 in Sahibabad. It is a bit unusual to have a cafe in an apartment building, but it makes us feel like part of the family here. We spend our days grinding beans and steaming milk. The smell of coffee hits you as soon as you walk down the hallway. We have a few small tables, but most people just grab their drink and head out to work. The floor is a bit worn out from all the walking, and the chairs don't all match perfectly. We don't mind. It gives the place some character. My brother helps me behind the counter during the lunch rush when the office workers come in. We have an old radio that plays local music in the background. Sometimes the espresso machine gets a bit temperamental and we have to coax it to work, but it still makes a good cup. We’ve seen kids grow up in this building while their parents come in for their daily fix. It is a small operation, nothing like the big fancy shops in the malls. We just try to make sure the coffee is hot and the conversation is easy. It’s a nice way to spend the day. There is always someone coming in or going out.
