A popular coffee joint since its very beginning, Barista indeed served everything good except what it was expected to – Coffee. I have had countless breakfast, lunch and snacks at various Barista outlets all across Delhi and North India, but could not get a single cup of well made cappuccino.  Keeping my tastes and disgust with Barista coffee aside, the outlet chain was probably the first one to teach the masses difference between cappuccino and latte. The chain served excellent sandwiches especially the chicken tikka ones and quite decent panini. Nonetheless, I knew Lavazza was making a move after seeing a faint red logo on Barista menu labelled as ‘premium’ coffees. So with a big shout to Starbucks, I hope there is some more international coffee brand presence in India. Probably Starbucks can buy out Café Coffee day and start off.

Going further he decides to write about Max Brenner where I personally added quite a few pounds to my growing belly by virtue of the excellent Danish hot chocolate.
