Cafe Coffee Day

It's great fun! I buy a Rs 5 coupon, then go to the brightly-painted hi-tech juke box. Choose from Hindi, English, Pop Music and type it into the computer. Also type in the name of the person I'm dedicating the song to. Voila! That amazing jukebox announces the name and my request song Everything I do, I do it for you fills the bright and cheerful CCD with its signature red and violet hues. Waiters in yellow and purple add to the colour. I buy coffee powder Arabica and even a large Coffee Times Cup. They have their own branded sugar-free mints too. Cafe Coffee Day serves hot and cold brews, from the coffee it grows on its 5,000 acres of coffee estates. From the array of exotic international coffees, I try the chilled, large Devils Own, eat the Chocolate Fantasy, which is a bit too sweet and shoot the breeze on those cane and aluminium chairs. The desserts and pastries are okay (they have introduced eggless cakes too) but the coffees are good. The place is open through the day and packed to the seams with a young crowd. Some of the older customers tell me they prefer Barista. I must be really young (atleast, at heart) because I definitely enjoy the buzz here
