Cafe Coffee Day

We've been here in Andheri West for a while now. Most mornings start pretty early when the shutters go up and the machines get warmed. It gets a bit loud with the traffic outside but inside it's mostly just the sound of people talking or someone typing away on a laptop. We see the same faces every day, people stopping by before they catch the train or head into work. Sometimes the milk delivery is late or the internet acts up, but we just deal with it as it comes. It's not a fancy place. We have some chairs that might be a little worn and the tables get sticky sometimes if we don't catch it quick enough. People come here to kill time or meet a friend. There's a lot of noise from the street, but you get used to it after ten minutes. Our staff mostly lives nearby, so we know the shortcuts and which days the rain is going to be a problem. We keep the lights on until late because that's when the college kids show up. It's just a spot to sit down for a bit. Nothing more to it. We don't have some big philosophy about it. We just make sure there's enough sugar and the floor is swept before the evening rush hits us hard. It's just how things go here in this part of town. We're right there on the corner if you're ever walking past and need a seat.
