Come here for the coffee and the buzz. "A lot can happen over coffee" is the tagline at these gleaming white-floored cafes throbbing with loud music, with oversized movie posters plastered on the walls and a mix of bright colourful sofas as well as relaxed cane furniture all around. Sandwiches, snacks and coffee for the young and young at heart. When you visit, stick to the coffee please - it's grown on 6,000 acres and each location serves an array of international coffees (Aztec, Ethiopian and more) in hot (Espresso, Irish Coffee and more) and cold (Iced Eskimo, Kappi Nirvana to name a couple) options. Rich and frothy Devil's Own and Caffe Frappe are popular. Pastries are strictly average and food (parathas, idlis, dosas and biryanis at some outlets along with the usual pastas, sandwiches, burgers in non-veg and veg options at all outlets) inconsistent - undercooked pasta and dry sandwiches. Quality has taken a bit of a hit as the number of cafes keeps mushrooming (100 and counting). But there's a touch of thoughtfulness in the menu - Vegan Shakes (creamy cold coffee on ice without milk), eggless pastries, Jain-friendly fare and even a couple of Vegan options. Hardcore CCD fans will delight in the array of goodies on the glass-shelves - everything from a tin of coffee powder (try Arabica) and cookies (Choco-Chip or Oatmeal 'n' Honey) to mugs and Espresso Makers. Wherever you are in the city, there's always a CCD near you.

There is something unique about this small outlet of ccd, right in the center of the bustling linking road area, provides a quiet and cool place to take a break after the shopping and sweating on linking road, a place for great conversations and spending hours, listening to the decent music played by their own dj, this CCD is the place to go on any weekday or weekend, late in the night and simply shut out the world, relax and sip the n'th cappuchino!!
