Venue: Cottage Emporium, Janpath

Recently we saw a new smoothie factory outlet at Cottage Industries emporium on Janpath. A little off from Connaught Place, this place desperately needed a small cafe. Earlier they had a small Barista inside the emporium on second floor which was shut down some time back. Smoothie factory filled the lacuna perfectly.

Along with Indians, Cottage Emporium attracts a lot of foreigners too. This made it a strategical location for a health food cafe with smoothies, salad and sandwiches etc.

After a quick round of shopping at Cottage Emporium we went to this outlet. We ordered a Tropical Squeeze smoothie, Classic American Chicken Sandwich and a multi-grain waffle with maple syrup. Though Smoothie was thick and fresh it was a little too sour for our taste. Sandwich was alright but definitely not value for money. Waffle was delicious. It was served with maple syrup and some gelato and It could be the only reason we may want to come here again.

On the table they had some TWYST customer rewards coupons to fill. We saw a pen at the billing counter and asked the attendant if we can use it. He blatantly refused. After convincing him that we will fill the coupon on the counter only and will not take the pen with us, he let us use it. It was terribly rude. Maybe he had a rough day… God knows. But if this is how this guy behaves generally, he doesn’t deserve to be in hospitality.

Overall an average experience. Not really keen on visiting again.
