Café Coffee Day — Restaurant in Assam

Ethiopia's Coffee Origin Myth The most popular legend of coffee in Ethiopia usually goes something like this:

One day in a highland area near an Abyssinian monastery, a goat herder from Kaffa named Kaldi was herding his goats. The goats began to jump around—almost dancing—and bleat loudly, which was strange behavior for his herd. Kaldi found that a small shrub (or a cluster of shrubs, according to some legends) was the source of the excitement. Deciding to try the bright red berries for himself, Kaldi also felt the coffee cherries' energizing effects.

Amazed at this discovery, the goat herder filled his pockets and rushed home to tell his wife. Calling the find "heaven sent," she advised Kaldi to share the berries with the monks.

Kaldi did not receive the warmest of welcomes at the monastery. One monk referred to his coffee beans as "the Devil's work" and tossed them into the fire. According to the legend, the aroma that wafted up from the roasting beans caught the monks' attention. After removing the beans from the fire and crushing them to extinguish the embers, they attempted to preserve them in an ewer filled with hot water. This newly brewed coffee had an aroma that attracted even more monks. After trying it, they experienced the uplifting effects for themselves.

CCD Experience Exceeded Expectations

Today, I made the spontaneous decision to visit CCD, conveniently located just down the road and the experience surpassed even my highest expectations. I indulged in their delectable chicken sandwiches and savored a delightful cappuccino, both of which were unparalleled in taste and quality.

Despite the slightly higher prices, I am already eagerly anticipating my next visit, as the overall experience left me thoroughly captivated.

The seating area at CCD deserves special mention, as it exudes an aura of utmost comfort. I was able to unwind and enjoy my meal in a serene environment, adding to the overall sense of satisfaction.

What truly stood out, however, was the outstanding staff. Their friendliness and impeccable manners were truly commendable. Their warmth and attentiveness added an extra layer of enjoyment to my visit. I left CCD with a deep sense of satisfaction, appreciating not only the delectable food and cozy ambiance but also the remarkable friendliness of the staff.

I recently visited Cafe Coffee Day, near Zoo Tiniali and unfortunately had a terrible experience. Not only was the service slow and unresponsive, but I was also charged extra for a product that I didn't even want. When I brought it up with the staff, they were dismissive and unapologetic, making me feel like my concerns didn't matter.

To make matters worse, the food I ordered was undercooked and tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. When I tried to return it, I was met with resistance from the staff and was told that it was "just how it's made." Overall, my experience at Cafe Coffee Day was extremely disappointing and left me feeling unsatisfied and frustrated.

I would not recommend this cafe to anyone, as the poor service, overcharging, and subpar food quality are not worth the price. There are plenty of other cafes in the area that offer better service and higher-quality products.

P.S. Definitely check your receipts as they try to charge for unwanted items...
