Indian Coffee House

The Indian Coffee Workers Cooperative Society set up hundreds of cafés across India in the 1950s. They remain places for a hit of nostalgia with old world prices. Enter through a gate on MI Rd, past the courtyard full of two wheelers (motorbikes). The café is a series of rooms adorned with old India Coffee Board posters and neon menus. The chairs reveal its history, beginning with the original wooden and cane ones, the later orange vinyl and then the new grey plastic chairs. The clientele ranges from college students to old friends catching up over endless coffee. Best at breakfast is a masala dosa (crispy crèpe with spicy mashed potato filling). There are several other branches in town.
