Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

We’re tucked into Gurudev Arcade, at number 105, out in Panvel. If you’re in the 410206 area, you’ve probably walked past us. The name is Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. It’s a regular spot where the smell of roasting beans is always in the air. We spend a lot of time cleaning the counters and making sure the machines are working right. It gets pretty busy in the mornings when everyone is rushing to work. We see the same faces every day, which is nice. You get to know how someone likes their drink without them even asking. The arcade can be a bit quiet in the middle of the day, but that’s when we catch up on restocking the shelves. We have a few tables where people sit with their laptops or just chat. It’s not a fancy place, just somewhere to get a drink and sit for a bit. We don’t do any big promotions or have a grand philosophy. We just make the coffee and the tea. Sometimes the milk delivery is late, or the grinder gets stuck, but we deal with it. It’s just a normal job in a normal shop. We like the neighborhood and the people who come in. Panvel is a good place for a shop like ours. We just keep the doors open and the pots brewing, trying to keep things simple for everyone who stops by.
