Gayatri Cold Drink Center

If you know S V Road in Santacruz West, you’ve probably walked past us at Plot No 1. Gayatri Cold Drink Center is just a small spot where people stop when the sun gets too hot. We started out just wanting to have a place where someone could grab a quick, cold beverage without any fuss. It’s mostly just fridges and a few crates stacked up in the corner. We get all kinds of people coming in—students from the nearby colleges, people waiting for the bus, or just locals out for a walk. Some days are so busy we can barely keep the bottles cold enough, but we try our best. We don't really do advertising or anything fancy. The sign outside is a bit old, but it does the job. Usually, it’s just one or two of us behind the counter. We’ve seen the traffic on S V Road get worse every year, but our little corner in Block C/3 stays pretty much the same. It’s not a big fancy cafe with seating; it’s more of a grab-and-go kind of place. We keep a variety of sodas, juices, and water. Sometimes people just stop by to ask for directions or chat for a minute while they finish their drink. It’s a simple life running a cold drink stall. We just want to make sure everyone leaves a little less thirsty than they came in.
