Cafe Coffee Day

This Cafe Coffee Day is right on the Main Road in Chittaranjan Park. It’s a small space, but we manage. We get a lot of students coming in with their laptops and older folks who just want to sit and talk for an hour. The AC works pretty well, which is good because it gets really hot out on the street. We make the usual coffees and some snacks like those samosas and sandwiches. Sometimes we run out of a certain cake, but we usually have something else in the fridge. The staff here has changed a bit over the last year, but a few of us have been here a long time. It can get a bit noisy when the blender is going, especially during the afternoon rush. We have a few tables outside, but people mostly want to sit inside away from the dust. The floor gets a bit scuffed up from all the walking, and we mop it whenever there’s a quiet minute. It’s just a place to grab a drink and sit down. Nothing too complicated about it. We see the same people every morning around ten. It's nice to recognize faces. If the coffee isn't hot enough, we just make it again. We try to keep the sugar packets filled up and the napkins stocked. That's pretty much what our day looks like here in CR Park. We stay open late most nights too, so people can stop in after dinner for a quick caffeine fix.
