coffee @ minus24 anyone??

One of my favourite hangout point in Aluva is undoubtedly Gopu’s tea shop.But you cant possibly take a girl for cup of cofee there.
So the gallan goes out to find a place to woo a woman. MINUS 24 is the location for you. With the ambiance that would keep you at peace and the temperature closer to comfort this is indeed a perfect place.They usually play soft music.But when we talk too loud they turn the volume level up.Minus 24 is also at Convent junction Ernakulam.Perfect spot for couples minus …

Kaloor Coffee House

Location: Near to International stadium, Kaloor, Opposite to TVS motors.

Another good contribution to the city from the BTH group. Good place that serves dosas, vada,etc along with nice tea and coffee.Small place with a seating capacity of almost 20.

The perfect family place.Well couples can also find this place interesting at times.But best place for a group of friends who would like to spend not too much of their valuable time over coffee and food.There are no couch ,just chairs and tables.It is self service.

Rating: 4/5 if you are in search of a small and calm veg eating place.

Pricing : Abit costly,obvious as it is BTH owned but not that expensive if you need to have a nice family place.
