Lazy Sunday..

Yesterday I went to Cafe Reggio with a friend after lunch at Chola.
Here are the links to both places:

When I first came to Cafe Reggio in the village two years ago, I didn't know that it had the first espresso machine in the United States. I was drawn to it, like I am drawn to many quaint cafes that have a cozy look from the outside until you discover there is some story to it. Cafe's and restaurants have a lot to do with ambiance and I have always felt that the ambiance adds to the taste. I have noticed that in some cultures in India or the Middle East, there is less focus on restaurant ambiance and more on the food and taste. That is fine too, but I always like the added touch of an exceptional service or a nice decor with an eclectic touch and maybe a window that overlooks a small garden and ivy covered walls.
