Cafe Lounge

This cafe is over in the Optionz Building, right on the Main Road in Andheri East. We are in units B-8 and B-9. It is a decent-sized space but it feels smaller when the lunch rush hits. Most of our customers are people who work in the offices upstairs or in the buildings nearby like Naha. They come in looking tired and just want a place to sit for twenty minutes. We keep the lights a bit low because it feels better than those bright office lights they have to look at all day. The espresso machine makes a lot of noise, and sometimes I think it is going to give up on us, but it keeps going. We spend a lot of time wiping down the tables and making sure the sugar jars are full. There is a lot of glass at the front, so you can watch the cars go by on the main road while you drink your tea or coffee. It is not a quiet library or anything; people are always talking about work or their bosses. We don't try to be one of those fancy chains. We just have some chairs and basic food that fills you up. Sometimes we play music, but usually, the hum of the air conditioner is the main sound you hear. It is just a regular spot for a break in the middle of a long day in Andheri.
