Anyone for Coffee?

Carefully hidden. Amazingly calm. Blissfully green. Thankfully quite. Testimonial to cups and cups of Hot South Indian Coffee, Coffee? is closing down!!! The first ever coffee shop in Chennai, Coffee has withstood the test of time and given us a taste of coffee that we measure up to wherever we go. Who would’ve thought that this small shop with countable seating capacity will grow to be the one of the major hangout spots for South Chennai’s crowd! Secluded amidst one of the very few places in Chennai which can boast of being quite and peaceful, Coffee? has been serving coffee enthusiasts their very exclusive traditional South Indian Fare time and again. The melt in the mouth Cheese pizzas, Panner Balls, crunchy Popcorn, chilled out Frappe, silent breeze and the smell of freshly brewed coffee.... nothing beats the combination. Add the sounds of you and your friends laughing for inane things. And that’s when you already start missing Coffee?

On a personal note, Coffee? has seen me and a very few very close friends of mine in various states. Happy, sad, angry, bloody angry, bored, jobless, tired, enthusiastic, crazy, bitchy,... what not?!? Coffee? has seen us cry, it has seen us being plain crazy, and it has seen us laugh till we could laugh no more and now we’re going to see it go. Coffee? was the first choice after a tired day’s work and the last choice during any unscheduled meet up. Coffee? was what consoled us we found the world against us. Coffee? was the place for reunions and the place for separations. The extended home that we grew to love. And even though no other place will come even remotely close to the ambiance and warmth that comes with coffee, we shall have to start scouting for another joint.

This is a tribute to the place which has carried us through thick and thin. The place of thousand memories. Memories which will remain so richly etched in our minds. Forever....

Now the hunt begins.....
