Coffee shops are ideal for first dates, or just catching up with friends after a hard day’s work. Even better are 24-hour coffee shops that are perfect for those cravings that creep post a club night, or extending a date night. The city is home to several such coffee haunts, and asklaila gives you the low-down of some of the many that dot the city.Enter the orange-looking environs of Barista (Khader Nawaz Khan Road). This delightfully cosy coffee-shop has magazines, board-games, and a guitar to strum along whilst indulging in some impromptu jam sessions, perhaps. Coupled with some tasty sandwiches, desserts and beverages make this a much sought-after place. Though, this doesn’t typically fall under the 24-hour range, it does shut shop at 1:00am.Similarly, Café Mocha (Khader Nawaz Khan Road), who has revolutionized the concept of coffee shops, has its doors open till the wee hours. A popular hangout for college students, and young professionals, this Café provides a perfect ambience to quench your thirst and whet your appetite. The Verandah, at Taj Connemara (Binny Road) is another popular destination to grab a midnight bite or two, as the pianist or the guitarist for the evening plays on in the background. Their sandwiches and desserts are scrumptious to say the very least. Other haunts include The Garden Café at The Radisson Hotel and The Right Place at The Residency. The vanilla smoothie is one of the signature items at The Right Place. Most 24-hour coffee shops can be found at 5-star hotels. Popular ones can be found at The Radha Park Inn, The Park , The Raintree, Le Royal Merdien and GRT Grand to name a few.So now you know where to head to, when you have those midnight cravings!
