Field notes
The page gives daily hours of 11 am to 9 pm and describes a menu spanning espresso, pour-over, matcha, ube, tea, hot chocolate, and cakes from local bakers. It says there will be no memberships, subscriptions, or coffee cards in the first year. The planned frontage uses a terracotta jaali, and the site includes contact and map links for the Kothanur location.
