Like the rest of Varanasi<\/a>, Kashi Caf\u00e9, situated at Assi Ghat<\/a>, is in a transition phase. The place, known for frothy, delicious kullar coffee<\/a> and chai, with cerebral conversations for company, is shifting premises. The current existence of a makeshift kiosk with few benches gels well with the no-frills character of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The menu has been curtailed, but the coffee and chai continue to brew and are served in the humble kullars. The caf\u00e9 is currently being helmed by Lakhan Kashyap<\/a>, whose father laid the foundation of this place more than four decades ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Kashi Caf\u00e9 Since the 1980s<\/h2>\n

Lakhan tells us, \u201cThe caf\u00e9 that came into existence in the 1980s was earlier called Kashi Tea Stall<\/a>, named after my father, who started this place. It was the most favoured spot for the foreigners who predominated in Assi and neighbouring areas.\u00a0 Natives from France, Germany and other European countries used to visit the place for their coffee and tea breaks. For six months, during the peak tourism period, we used to cater to such guests.\u00a0 The sittings were not confined to just sipping the beverages, but it became a perfect spot for cultural exchange.\u00a0\u00a0 Anyone who wanted to come for any foreign language lessons would sit here for hours, while the foreign visitors would seek information\u00a0about the Indian<\/span><\/span>\u00a0culture by interacting with the locals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The menu was curated accordingly. \u00a0\u201cMy father used to mainly serve the masala chai<\/a>, but when I took charge of things here, I expanded the menu. We introduced various categories of chai, apart from normal, special and masala chai, lemon ginger tea, and lemon tea. While in the coffee segment, we had the option of black and macchiato coffee<\/a>. Several imported brands of coffee were also served, which I used to get from the foreigners who visited the city often.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With the influx of Indian tourists increasing in Varanasi, including the Assi area, over the last few years, the menu is more desi or Indian now. \u201cWe serve the normal chai made with milk and instant coffee in cappuccino style<\/a>, keeping the larger Indian customers in mind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A Living Room for Assi Ghat<\/h2>\n

Despite the change in the demography of the customers, the caf\u00e9 is still a place of some healthy conversations. It continues to be a hangout place for the local young crowd.\u00a0\u00a0The Indian tourists coming to Varanasi, keen to seek the local input for eating options, often check\u00a0with Lakhan.\u00a0 “There are certain places which we locals only know, and for those travellers who have a constrained schedule and budget, such inputs are quite handy.\u00a0\u00a0 It is a popular meeting point for groups on an exploration tour of Varanasi, where the members meet at our caf\u00e9 and continue with their journey,\u201d says Lakhan. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The place also welcomes furry friends, as the street dogs<\/a> in the area are taken care of by the caf\u00e9 owner. \u00a0\u201cWe ensure that a part of our earnings is spent on feeding the stray dogs. After we close at night, all the dogs in the vicinity are fed with milk and bread. The dogs hanging around in the area are vaccinated and sterilised<\/a>.\u00a0 We have also collaborated with an NGO that has provided us with a QR band<\/a> for them that helps to keep track of them and save them from any kind of peril.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new setup, which will soon become functional, hopes to keep the conversations going over a cup of tea or perhaps coffee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
