Two new city joints beckon all with coffee and more

IN Thiruvananthapuram, life moves at its own unhurried pace. There's no mad rush. People ease into their routines, soaking in the little moments. Naturally, the city's food trends reflect the same rhythm. New ideas take their time to catch on. But when they do, the city welcomes it with open arms.

That's exactly what's happening with two new coffee spots here. They have won over coffee aficionados in the city with their premium brews, rich flavors, and affordable rates. What makes these outlets special is their unique concept.

One is 8 Oz, the first coffee truck in the city, while the other, Wholebrew, is the first dedicated coffee takeaway counter. Both bring a concept that's popular in Western countries, where grabbing coffee on the go is part of daily life. Both are helmed by young and passionate entrepreneurs.

Wholebrew Tucked into a busy lane in Sasthamangalam, Wholebrew is proof that great coffee doesn't need a big space. Run by Athulya J R, a 28-year-old who quit her corporate job to follow her passion, the takeaway counter is all about convenience, consistency, and charm.
