Christo's Coffee Corner

You always talk to friends about life, love, philosophy and politics over coffee. I'm a bit of an addict and a connoisseur. Take a coffee break, join me and let's talk about something, everything or nothing... How would you like your cuppa?

New find in Delhi

Discovered "COSTA 'Italian about coffee' since 1971" today in Delhi's Nehru Place Market. Not even the 'locals' know about this place as it is brand new and very evidently not open from 1971 but sometime last week... The 34 year lineage however count for something as it is 'a cut above the rest'!

The focaccia, paninis (I had a mushroom & cheese one) and 'wedges' (sandwiches) are great but the REAL treat is their coffee. My Doppio Espresso was perfect and although I missed some music (there was a large sub-woofer installed next to our table, which my companion used as a handy storage area for his cellphone, 'BB' and wallet) the 3 beautiful (and most helpful) 'baristas' wholly made up for it!

Any coffee shop would have to go a LONG way to turn the tables on either Barista or Cafe Coffee Day. Both have strong brands and a loyal following here in India. If anyone can do it, COSTA can!

Branches can also be found in CP, GKII, GreenPark, Pitampura, Noida (x3!), Rohini, Alaknanada, Dwarka and Ghaziabad.

In the words of Arnie (from Terminator) "I'll be back"!

Werk wag vir niemand (en dis veral waar as jy 'n 'start-up' besigheid bedryf "OMG, I've created a monster!")
Daar is altyd weer 'n geleentheid!
