?
If
you're one who believes that good things come in small packages,
Coffee? is just the place for you. A quaint little café,
located outside Music College, hardly a year old, this joint
with its small green lawn and white fencing, is an extremely popular
unwind zone for Chennai-ites.
Conceived and created by Nirav (a cinematographer) and Renuka
(an interior designer), the café offers its customers 33 exotic
variants of coffee. And all of them are Coffee?'s genuine
recipes. Irish, Italian, Thai, Turkish, Hawaiian, and our very own
South Indian filter coffee. The other categories of coffee - Haute
Coffee, Lazy Floats, and Cold Classics. Coffees are priced
at Rs. 30/- and floats at Rs. 40/-. You can also bite into some
short eats between sips of your coffee.
But then, this was never just a café. Coffee? houses a
mini gallery, reserved for Chennai's budding artists. The paintings
and photographs keep changing on a monthly basis. In addition to
this, you can leaf through one of the many books on sale. If you're
not an avid reader, pick up a pen and play a game of Noughts
and Crosses (Tic-Tac-Toe) on specially printed tablemats. And
if you thought that was innovative, check out the menu…on a cardboard
dice!
That's not all. Coffee? also hosts one-act plays and reading
sessions. The café is also a favourite with filmstars like Revathy.
And if you needed something more to remember this joint by, hand
in your photograph, and get your own Coffee? mug, with your
picture for just around Rs. 260/-.
Coffee? - Just about anybody's cup of coffee!
