The Chocolate Room

We are located at Shop No 18-19 inside the Elite Premio Mall. It's right there at Dasra Chowk in Baner. The mornings usually start with the sound of the shutters rolling up. It’s a heavy sound that echoes a bit in the mall corridor before the other shops open. We spend a lot of time just moving things around to make sure there's enough room to walk. The mall can get pretty crowded on the weekends, but during the week it’s mostly just people from the nearby offices or apartments. We’ve got these two units combined, which gives us a bit more space than the smaller stalls. The floor is that standard mall tile that we have to mop pretty often because of the footprints. Dasra Chowk is always busy, so there’s a constant hum of traffic coming from outside. Sometimes we stand near the glass and just watch the cars go by when things are slow. We keep a few basic chairs out for people. The walls have some marks here and there from when we moved the counters in, but we haven't gotten around to painting over them yet. It feels like a real workplace, messy at times but functional. We focus on keeping the shelves stocked and the counters clean. It’s not a fancy setup, just a regular spot in Baner where we do our work every day from morning until the mall lights dim down. We are here every day.
