Cafe Mailoo

You can find us over in Vile Parle East, right on the 12th Main Road at Pratik Avenue. We're pretty close to Nehru Road, so it's a busy corner of the neighborhood with people always walking past. The shop isn't very large, but we've got a few tables where people can sit and have their coffee or a quick bite. We start early to get everything set up before the morning rush starts. It can be a bit chaotic when everyone wants their drink at the exact same time, but we usually get through it without much trouble. The window looks out onto the street, so there's always something to see while we work. We spend a lot of time cleaning up crumbs and wiping down the counters after people leave. It’s just us running the place, so things are kept pretty casual. Sometimes we play the radio in the background if the shop gets too quiet in the late afternoon. We get a mix of students from nearby and people living in the apartments coming in. Most people know us for being that small spot near the Nehru Road intersection. We don't go in for anything too complicated, just food and drinks that people in the area seem to like. The neighborhood has changed quite a bit since we first opened, but we’re still here doing our thing. It’s a lot of work keeping the kitchen going and the supplies stocked, but we enjoy the company of our regulars. Just a normal cafe where you can sit for a bit and relax.
