Somehow i ve never felt barista is happening as a coffee pub shud b, whatever they try to do with their ambiance or lighting... they almost have nothin to eat if ur lookin for snacks, the only available ones are the cold and dry sandwiches looking preserved for yrs, its like eating outa the ready-to-eat section of a supermarket. The drinks are ok, coffees are not my favourites here, tho the summer thirst quenchers and the low fat smoothies came out really yummy and made me love the nungambakkam high road outlet. But the other outlet much closer to it at KNK road and better in ambiance doesnt make one comfy nuff to make it their hang-out. Its too cramped with no personal space, not very impressive service and the food of course the same! i think u can take a quick walk and go to the other outlet if u really want to hang out only in barista, the only reason i wanna go there wud b for the tropical smoothie! Waiting to try the besant nagar beach outlet soon!
