A Coffeeholic's Travel Tale: In the name of passion, I've risked disappointment.

If I'd had any way of knowing that the food here were - as my dad used to say - going to get a whole lot worse before they got worse, I'm not sure how far I would have kept a distance from this overrated shop which I mistakenly thought to be the cream of the crop. The fact is, I had become addicted to famous shops and restaurants which often hardly guarantee food with a good quality. Still, despite all this, exploring new food is the great true love of my life.

One fine morning, I was standing at this side lane with my two old folks, who are equally good at anticipating adventurous food trail, giving my second try on their highly-acclaimed toast and coffee. The conclusion of our experiment: Disappointment is always inevitable.
