SECTION – COVER STORY

Java City keeps itself in the news with frequent activities luring citizens into the cafe. Art sales, literary events and more bring in the savvy people, while the strong aroma of coffee and choice snacks makes sure they succumb to temptation. Says Raj Madnani, the MD of Java City, "After staying for 20 years in the US, I wanted to have a place with an international ambience. We achieved it by blending the European cafe culture with the feel of American Espresso bars."

Aimed at the 20-40 age group, Java City offers nearly 80 different types of coffees. Each cup is priced between Rs 25 and Rs 40 and has at least 10 gms of pure coffee in it making sure these coffees are the strongest in the city. There are three Java City cafes in the city. "We believe in the age-old formula for success - good food, good service, good ambience," says Madnani alluding to the taste-fully done interiors and the American, European and Indian snacks on the counter. A zip around town with its mushrooming coffee bars shows clearly that owners are not shy to spend good amounts on interior decor.
