’’Barista’’ is a new coffee shop that has opened in B’lore on commercial street, right next to Coffee Day. ’’Barista ’’ (which means ’’bartender’’ in english) is an Italian coffee chain shop , now ventured into India , and I heard is already present in Bombay ’n Delhi. So it has brought along with it some new fresh attitude , to the way in which u sip coffee .
This new jazzy place , where bright Orange is the colour code of all the decor here , has truely a style ’n friendly ambience of its own .This place invites u to spend time here, rather than the usual attitude of ’’okay , the bill is paid ’n u ’ve had ur share of grub so now get out ’’.It has lots of board games for u to indulge in , like chess , word scramblers , a guitar to pluck some chords , ’n importantly nobody to disturb ur gang of friends ......feels something like a sophisticated college canteen.
Coming to the blends, oh , there r lots of new names for me to remember , all these days I could ’ve blindly ordered the chilling cold coffee’s (capuchillos, mochachillos .....) whenever I entered coffee day which is another fav of mine , but here there r plenty of ’em to try out apart from the usual ones like cappuchinos.Some of ’em I recall r the cool Americanos , milkshakes , tropical Granitas like blue carucuo, green ice , ....plus varieties of sandwiches, pastries , patties , rolls, tikkas , cookies ....all in all lots to try out .
This is a self service wing , after which u can, choose where u want to be seated either on one of those cozy sitouts on the sofa , or near the glass enclosure overlooking commercial street, or a simple table for an engrossing game of chess(dont u think there r lotz of ’’pretty distractions’’ around especially at commercials to settle for a game of chess ????) or just near a TV. Also while leaving dont forget to stick a message on the message board ’n read some whacky ones out there.
