As we entered the recently opened branch of Zoca Cafe in Sahakara Nagar, Bengaluru, we noticed that they were still putting the final touches on the interiors. A Wednesday noon visit meant the place was quiet, with only a few diners around. The peppy sounds of Punjabi music killed the silence, later transitioning to nostalgic ‘90s English pop tunes. The weather, fortunately, was not too hot, allowing us to relax comfortably in the al fresco dining area. Even if it rained, we had the protection of the rain shade. The design exuded a pleasing aura with its pastel palette, featuring teal-painted walls and chairs outside, while inside, a genial blend of pink and cream colours awaited.
