Square Cafe

Square Cafe is over in Kothrud, specifically at Shop No 8 inside Rohan Chamber on Karve Road. Karve Road is always buzzing with students and people heading into the city, so there’s never a quiet moment outside our window. We spend a lot of our time making coffee and trying to keep the tables clear of empty cups. The cafe isn't very big, so things can feel a bit tight when more than a few people are inside at once. We’ve got some simple wooden chairs and a counter that’s seen better days, but it serves its purpose. We don’t have a big menu with a hundred things on it. We just stick to what we know how to do behind the counter. The light inside Rohan Chamber can be a bit dim depending on the time of day, so we keep the shop lights on even when it’s sunny out. Being at Shop No 8 means we share the hallway with a few other businesses, so we’re always nodding hello to the other shop owners. It’s a regular routine of grinding beans, steaming milk, and washing up the same spoons over and over. We don’t try to be anything other than a local spot where you can sit for a few minutes. The noise from the traffic on Karve Road is just something we’ve learned to ignore while we work. It’s just a normal cafe run by normal people.
