Some of the most beautiful food haunts of Mumbai masquerade as quaint coffee shops. Sweet and cute little places, unfazed by the super-duper hustle of everyday life right outside their doors, serving delicious coffees and knick-knacks throughout the day. Makes it easy for dreamers to congregate and relax for hours altogether... Easy Cappuccino in Bandra is one such place for dreamers and coffee lovers.
A small place on Pali Hill, can accommodate around 12-15 people on a good day, with super-fast service and excellent staff. Compact menu with hot coffee, green coffee, cold coffee, innovative shakes, mini pancakes, pizzas, and croissants. Everything reasonably priced, considering that this is located in Bandra, the queen of over-priced suburbs (or is that Juhu..well, we can focus on Mumbai's geographical economy later), suffice to say that Bandra is one heck of an overpriced place and to get a cup of steaming hot coffee in less than Rs. 200 here is nothing short of a miracle.
So here we were, my mother and I, relaxing on a Wednesday evening, contemplating the moods of nature (will it rain during this Diwali or not!) and helping ourselves to some amazing offerings of Easy Cappuccino.
-HOT CHOCOLATE- Good. Did not taste completely like Bournvita like many other places, had appropriate balance of sweetness and density, and served steaming hot. If you are a child like me who tends to burn tongue while drinking scalding hot beverages, remember the Indian sudki your parents took when drinking their morning tea. #SaveTheTongue #IssuedInPublicInterest
-IRISH COFFEE- Brilliant. Bitter and satisfying for a true Irish Coffee lover. Topped with whipped cream and caramel that brought that interplay of sweet and bitter profiles. LOVED.
-MOCHA with added Caramel on top- Me loves caramel so me puts caramel in every coffee me has. That is me trying to explain my caramel love to a 3 year old. Even if you don't love caramel as much as I do, you will like Mocha. A shot of espresso, a shot of chocolate syrup, some milk..what's not to love!
-TIRAMISU CROISSANT- Buttery flaky croissant, among the best I have ever had. But I thought the tiramisu flavor would be more ingrained from inside-out. Turns out it was normal butter croissant with some added tiramisu flavor along the sides and whipped cream served alongside. Just okay.
-PERI PERI PANEER PIZZA- Simple pizza with some paneer, peri peri sauce base, some condiments, and lotttttttts of cheese. Mini in size, just enough as a filling snack for a medium-eater. A hippo like me would need 3 such pizzas for lunch. Delicious, but mind you, this is no gourmet pizza. If there was a pizza school, this is the pizza the pretentious pizzas won't share their lunch table with, but hey we love our cheesy pizzas, right? LOVED it, because I am not pretentious :P
CINNAMON & CARAMEL PANCAKE CASSETTES- Little, and I mean, really little versions of pancakes, easily the most delicious items on the menu, but got over too fast. Beautiful balance of cinnamon, mon amour caramel, honey in a melt-in-mouth version. Would be back here for these...but I want moooooooore in one serving :D
Oh, also love how they serve little sides such as a dairy milk bar with hot chocolate and a pair of cookies with Mocha. Easy Cappuccino is heartily recommended by this happy hippo :)
Sajway is the leading restaurant that serves the best pizza in Abu Dhabi (أفضل بيتزا في أبو ظبي) to make your day great.
