So what if the cozy coffee bar is a thing of the past? With little imagination and lots of enthusiasm, coffee outings can be replicated at home.
“A cup of coffee shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent.”
Coffee dates in a cozy cafeteria with background music are what youngsters of Ludhiana are missing the most during this pandemic.
With the graph of Covid-19 cases rising, city’s coffee lovers are avoiding going out. They are making their own coffee corners and coffee stations at their homes instead.
Friends are the ones with whom we love to enjoy our sip. Meet, Jasmeen and Harleen, an engineering and medical student, who are back to their hometown as colleges are shut.
“Harleen is attending a medical college and I am an engineering student and we both study in Patiala. Best pals since childhood, though we study at different colleges, we often met in the evenings over coffee. We both used to share our college life, exciting projects, hostel life over a cup of coffee and the evening would just pass away in a blink. Now, coffee evenings are what we are missing the most since the outbreak of the pandemic,” says Jasmeen.
So, the idea of creating their own coffee corner came to their mind. And now, both the girls have resumed their coffee evenings. Since they live just a couple of houses away, coffee evenings have become a regular affair with these two.

“Cozy chairs, few books, background music, candles for the aesthetics and voila, here we are! With our very own coffee corner! The weather decides the place and the flavour of the coffee. If the weather is pleasant, we sit outside, otherwise we have a small corner near the window in our rooms. Coffee date means we both get dressed up and catch up, which has actually added zing to the otherwise boring routine. We decided not to meet in our casual comfy pyjamas but get ready for the evening,” says Harleen.
Whether the brew will be hot or cold also depends on the weather. Both of them have numerous flavours to add to their coffee. Apart from regular Nescafe, they relish the hazelnut, vanilla, cappuccino, caramel flavours and sometimes South Indian filter coffee brought specially from Coorg. Both of them know the art and craft of making coffee and are well versed with the flavours.
Their discussion over coffee ranges from college to friends to Netflix, movies to books. Both the girls love collecting coffee mugs as well and buy them as souvenirs whenever they visit a new place. They both have an interesting collection. But then, that’s another story.
