If you want to experience the true feeling of nostalgia, step into the iconic Koshy’s located at St Marks Road. A cafe where you travel back in time to find a different class of people talking animatedly with each other and not on their phones. What started as a humble bakery in 1940 is now a quintessential spot for several patrons of the city to reminisce their youthful days and perhaps a simpler time of their lives.
As you enter, you will notice that the place is filled with simplicity itself with old wooden chairs and tables. Several black and white pictures capturing the historical moments of the city are hung across the wall. What is so interesting is the kind of people who visit this cafe. Most of the customers are old patrons who often come here to catch up with their friends over a beer. It was and probably still is a place where artists, writers, and creative people get together to have a real conversation. The staff continue to wear traditional white livery and are very polite. Though the place is almost 80 years old, they have not compromised in the taste or the service. If you ever visit this place, do order the special coffee and enjoy the nostalgia
