DANCING IN ARABIAN COFFEE HOUSES.
“It all began with dancing goats”
I honestly just took the INDIAN LEAP into a magical yet sophisticated coffee shop and it’s AMAZING and I’m not just saying that..( a little inside joke between us girls.)
I walked in and it’s EMPTY. That’s just ridiculous but good in way because It’s just me and JOE (the barista) and boy does he know his coffee,told him it was my first time here and he was eager to show me the ropes. First question was “how do you like your coffee?”
I’m sorta of in between… I like it not too strong nor too weak so he suggested the KUMBAKONAM and guys they have pastries and food here too.. for the inner foodies. I am literally having a feast and it was well worth it. Things I grabbed were a veggie samosa and a meat samosa..going into pastries I enjoyed a Chom Chom and a Kula Jamun… moving along young lads.. Joe is like a little historian and tells me little history facts here and there about each coffee grind and I’m intrigued. He’s genuinely surprised that I tell him to just serve my coffee the way he likes it and that was the best choice cause it came out delicious, he even brought me a separate cup with a little bit of coffee so I could taste it as it cooled down a bit. This CUP has literally just the right amount of brown sugar, milk and coffee. BONUS: Joe brought me a customary “Biscuit” that they typically have in India with their daily brew and it hit the spot. The ambiance is just STELLAR they have these off the charts seats which are super COMFY and they have Indian themed coasters, Like how RAD is that. ( I seriously want to take the coaster as memorabilia) 20 mins in and I’m now no longer solo…. and Joe knows everyone as they come in.. they have regulars and he even knows what they want without asking… UH he’s like “PRO BARISTA STATUS”
All of this blogging and failing to tell you guys where this little gem is hidden… so I happen to be on this side of town and my sister was saying that we started this blog adventure but hadn’t visited any coffee shops so I decided to yelp coffee shops and this popped up. I had a hard time finding it but I’m horrible at directions and well that was probably my fault. so here’s the INFO on this joint.
All Bengal Sweets India Coffee House
The digits are: 832-659-0508
5901 Hillcroft Ave, Ste C2
(they have a Facebook page too, so be sure to check it out)
I reread this blog and it seems like Joe stole the story but I wouldn’t change it. He honestly grabbed my attention. He’s super informative, nice and just all around pleasant which makes the place just comfy and then he brings you a cup of coffee and it just tops it. I told him I would bring my sisters back and I can’t wait. I know they are going to fall in love with the coffee, ambiance and JOE.
P.S. I’ll leave you guessing on Joe, I hope this makes you guys wanna pop in and say “Hi” because you’re in for a treat plus you’ll get amazing coffee.
