Mocha....The Cafe with a difference

In a city ruled by the Cafe Coffee Day's and Barista's, Cafe Mocha surely has created a niche for itself when it comes to wooing the famed the coffee drinker. Many a Cafe have sprung up in the recent past, but nothing compares to the grandeur and vividity of Mocha.
Bengaluru, a cosmopolitan IT hub famous for it numerous watering holes and discotheques has never really catered to the Coffee drinking crowd with the versatility and resplendence usually associated with coffee bars across the globe. Mocha, most definitely has created a brand which is surely to make waves or rather is already making waves.
So what makes Mocha what it is???....Hmmm...from the outside is just like any another Coffee Bar. But, the moment you step in is where the scene changes. Unlike the usual commotion and noise quite reminiscent of a cafe, you feel really soothing the moment you step in. Mocha, as Italian it may sound it quite unlike it. Everything about Mocha in every sense of the word is much Arabian.The walls are painted in shades of Red, Blue and Green with perfectly set lighting to add to the ambiance. If you thought this place was littered with usual tables and chairs, you sure are in for a surprise. This place comprises of neatly set couches with round cylindrical cushions with bright golden wraps giving that touch of Royalty. Also, there is conventional Table Chair setting, but the chairs and tables are such that you would be settling into one that is nothing less than a throne. For those who need a quite evening you have the separate enclosed couch with blinds....hmmm..naughty.
On look at the ceiling and the walls, you would feel this is setting straight out of an Arabian night fable. The Ceiling is draped with a beautiful silky cloth material in a very astounding pattern with the Chandelier or "Jhoomer" as it is called dangling from bang in the center. The colour of the cloth is in accordance with wall colours (If you have watched Jodha Akbar, perhaps you could imagine what looks like).To add to the Arabian feel is the waiter's attire, a long flowing robe (if I may say so)with a long hat (again a Jodha Akbar reference, the song Kwaja mere...). Very unique indeed. Above all the music, a mix of Sufi, Classical and instrumentals make for a very relaxing experience.
Now for the most important aspect, FOOD.....well, Mocha has everything to offer you that a normal Cafe would and much more. Priced a little on the higher side, the crowd primarily comprises of working class youngsters rather college goers. Well, A premium always comes at a price.
Located in Kormangala and Lavelle Road, this place is a must have in your hot spots to visit list. Go on give it a try, worth every penny and makes for that perfect evening you were looking for.



CAFE MOCHA....a coffee revolution has begun....

P.S : BE sure to try the Cold Coffee (the only one available)..it's heavenly.For those in need for some breathing exercises there is the Sheesha's (The famed Hookah).
