As we all know Delhites taste buds are classically conditioned for everything soaked in oil and spices, hence the surge of mellow café culture is hard to imagine. Always having taken pride in its pungent mouth shaking flavours the city is now opening up for delicacies as different as its colors.

Though the tea stalls perched at every nook and corner cater a wide spectrum of people looking for a refreshing cup of tea and snacks but the glass walled cafes are making inroads to the young taste buds. One such café Coffee World is tucked in the busy lanes of the city’s busiest Lajpat Nagar market vouching for respite from the hustle bustle of its neighborhood.

At first it’s hard to locate the café as there is no directional signage, even the next lane folks sitting in their air conditioned shops are oblivion of this Swiss coffee parlor as it launched just few months back in the Capital region (sans effective branding), but once you enter the place the ambience is worthwhile all the efforts made. 

The minimalistic interiors with monochrome walls narrating the story of coffee beans through black and white images and linear cushiony furniture render a contemporary feel to the place while its East world aesthetic, adequate light and echoes of rock and roll can be delightful for hipsters looking to bide the quality time over coffee and scrumptious delicacies.

Like any other coffee café in Delhi it offers a range of frappes, cappuccino, smoothies and mojitos, along with salads, sandwiches and wraps to savor. Though the non-coffee caramel frappe with thick foam served with smoked chicken & pepper/veg fajita sandwich come as a perfect combo complementing the mutual flavors. The barbeque cottage cheese and chicken loaf either make for a lip-smacking offering.

The menu with desserts including ice cream sundaes and chocolate cakes has waffle as its tsar which is not much popular in Delhi, as only highbrow cafes of five stars and hippie food joints at Paharganj serve it in different versions. The luscious waffle with thick strawberry syrup, or the one served with chocolate ice cream is the must-have for everyone who have this psychedelic affair with their tongues.
