Northern India Cafes Blend Culinary Offerings with Cultural and Social Initiatives

Two cafes in northern India are gaining attention for their unique offerings and community focus. A Shimla cafe on Mall Road combines diverse cuisines with a collection of books by Himachal Pradesh authors, offering memberships for borrowing books and discounts. Meanwhile, Chandigarh's Wood Street Cafe, established in 2019, emphasizes female employment by hiring and training local women, serving pancakes, shakes, and various cuisines. Both venues contribute to local culture and social initiatives in their regions.
