What could be better than sipping on a hot cup of coffee and reading your favourite author? And what if you get a peaceful space where you could just relax and rejuvenate over a cup of coffee or even exotic delicacies with some real good books? When Café Turtle opened in 1999, it was Delhi’s first and most charming café, set up to compliment Full Circle Book Stores. May other book cafes soon sprung up seeing the success and demand for such a space.
As they say, the secret to a well-balanced life is a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other.
Book cafes are fast evolving in India. In fact, it is a dream come true for the millennial reader with every kind of book on display — be it fiction or a comic, providing a comfortable couch where one can satiate one’s appetite for both good coffee and books.
Today one of the most popular cafés — Cha Bar has almost created its own unique identity by serving more than 200 varieties of teas with its amazing food in a cozy ambience.
You can choose from exotic flavors like Moroccan mint, South African Rooibos, or the healthier options like herbal, green or Ayurvedic teas. In case you are looking for something simple, the ever-popular cutting chai never disappoints.
Another café, Spell and Bound, with its greens, goldens and a Victorian-panache is again a home to a variety of books on various genres creating an immaculate, cozy spot for booklovers. More such cafes like Kunzum café, Ivy and Bean make one’s evening a peaceful and beautiful one.
Amid the hustle bustle of the city and digital clutter where one has no time to stop and stare at the crisp pages of a book and let worries float away in the world of fantasy, fiction or reality.
Imagine a space far away from the daily rush, a quiet and personal spot meant for just you and your reading pleasure. So grab your coffee, make yourself comfortable.
