What makes Kolkata the destination of food fashionistas of India, and the world over? A large concentration of eager and ever-appreciative foodies? Experiments with new salads and dips, curries and cookies, chai and coffee, has been on the roll for decades in the city of joy. Yet it seems like the process begins everyday anew. A never-ending craving for self-discovery, by embracing the new while cherishing the traditional, is what makes Kolkata the chosen ground for aspiring entrepreneurs in the fields of food and beverages. To that list, the latest addition is Cafe Coffee Kotha, a cozy nook for coffee and snack lovers to hang out over literature, poetry, music, cinema, travel, adda. And of course, what they collectively embody, as the co-owner Mou puts it summarily, life in search of life. Of course, we offer a unique blend of latte and lassi, hand-crafted burgers and sandwiches, exclusive croissants and samosas, rolls and dim sum. Call it West Meets East? Or West Is East? But that is insubstantial really. Here, we help you realize how every sunset is different, each breeze is a wish renewed, fallen leaf is adda, rain is latte, noise of the city is a quiet table in fading daylight. This is how Kolkata has always been. Come, let's believe it together again? What's more, to us Cafe Coffee Kota is walking an opportunity, as the other co-owner Sri says, To share quality moments with hundreds of unknown friends in the city, who otherwise would have never met. Besides, we also open up this venue to aspiring authors for their book launch programmes; new musicians to announce themselves; artists and film-makers to engage in constructive dialogues about life and livelihoods. Let’s make cappuccino and cream brulee excuses to meet up. Know others. Know yourself. Lose it. Find again.
