I usually refrain from criticizing food or beverages, but I felt compelled to share my experience this time so that others aren't fooled. Yesterday I had an Iced Mocha at the Café Coffee Day outlet in DN Regalia Mall, Bhubaneswar and I must say, it was a serious letdown.

They were knowledgeable about the menu and willingly provided recommendations when asked. It's always a pleasure to be greeted with warm smiles and receive...

We requested our drinks to be without ice for which she told i will serve you guys half glass of the drinks! Is this the standard ? Totally unacceptable.
They did not accept credit card also the upi that they gave us was personal upi. And said system is down.
