Annai Velankanni Coffee Bar

Annai Velankanni Coffee Bar is situated at 002/Sh3235 in Sidhapudur, Alagapuram. It is a spot that stays busy because of where it is located. We do not have a lot of space, but we make it work with what we have. Most of our day is spent behind the counter. The air is always thick with the smell of what we are making. People from the offices nearby in Alagapuram come in during their breaks, and they are usually in a hurry. We try to keep up with them, but sometimes there is a wait. It gets hot in here, especially in the middle of the day when the sun is directly overhead. We have a small radio that plays in the background, mostly just the news or some local songs. The tile floor is old and has some cracks, but it gets the job done. We have been part of Sidhapudur for a long time, so we know most of the people who live on this street. They stop by to say hello even if they are not buying anything. We do not use fancy words to describe what we do. We just open the shutters in the morning and close them at night. It is a simple routine that we have followed for years. Sometimes the traffic on the main road gets backed up and the horns are all you can hear. We just keep working through it.
