INDIAN COFFEE HOUSE


Hi friends .welcome to our new section in this blog. WARNING (you have to be a food freak for this) we will try to explore some uncharted food destination in town.So here it goes.I really had a big list about such places but lets start with one of the oldest hangout places in city “THE INDIAN COFFEE HOUSE”…..we have three such places in town. at coffeehouse square near smriti cinema. One atWHC road and one at government medical college. This place has really got something special in it .when u enter there u r welcome by the waiters in their white uniform. The whole atmosphere is really enticing. That white long caps of waiter .those old fans, some add frames placed there. That typical old style cups. The copper plates where u get the bills. it really take u back to past and make you think about those olden days. Indian coffee house was started by the brithishers to promote coffee in Indian; there are n numbers of such coffee house in India. But after independence nobody was there to look after it and it went through the financial crises. But all the workers reunited and from the co-operative society named Indian coffee worker co-operative society. so lets discuss our main topic that what’s the specialty of the place. As the name suggest the coffee is damn good here, if u like a really like dark and strong coffee it’s the best place to get it. Apart from that south Indian snacks and north Indian snacks also available here. the taste is ok I will not say it very awesome .but this is the first place in town where you could get French toast ,bread and butter jam all that stuff. why not yaar it was started by British after all. but I guess we are not so much fortunate to get those original filter coffee here. they got some original British made bean roaster and grinder. But due to increasing competition and lack of promotion the business aspect is not so good so they have stopped using it, I happen to see those machines and felt really bad about it. I am giving some pics of it. Even the people really feel bad about it and want to start it again. Its not just a business for them its a tradition which they have cherished from years. Its all about the respect they give it to the customer its about the culture. Almighty knows when they those glorious days of ICH will come back and when we can have that traditional filter coffee again. But still I suggest you to try one cup coffee here. so see u there on some Sunday evening.LOCATION: coffee house square, whc rd, medical college campus.
