A few nice coffee cafe images I found:

On MG Road, coffee is homeless

Cutting chai was a no-no, by-two coffee was allowed at the manager’s discretion. Before the Cafe Coffee Days and Baristas made coffee drinking hip, before the one-minute darshini coffees-on-the-go had slunk in and of vogue, before omelettes showing a fondness for the waiter’s cuffs became a reason to walk out in a huff, there was India Coffee House. And here – sans mocha, latte, frappe or espresso – we enjoyed our filter coffee like Bangaloreans do. Artists or musicians, writers or wankers, lovers or losers, here at 78, MG Road, we met, made up, made out, loved, lost, ogled, won, read, ate, died, passed out, sobered up…
Now, it’s curtains for India Coffee House. Like all things, this too must pass. Into the history we are prone to forget. Into the homogeneity we are loath to welcome.
