Subko Coffee, Mary Lodge

3.1

The reference point for Indian specialty coffee, in a Ranwar bungalow that refuses to hurry you.

Because the coffee genuinely justifies the queue, and because the building does something no glass-fronted cafe manages: it makes an hour feel longer than it is. Come before ten if you want a table and a conversation.

Three floors with plug points, desks and wifi make three hours plausible, and reviewers call it an unofficial office, but weekends get noisy and calls are discouraged.
