Lab notes Your neighbourhood coffee shop · DHA Phase 6

Not your average experimental cafe.

Caution: heavy experimentation ongoing. Honey clouds, berry-misu, lavender haze — we test it on ourselves first, then we serve it to you.

EXP. 01 Berry-Misu Frappe Strawberry meets tiramisu in ice Rs 850

Attempt no. 2

More than just a coffee shop. A red room, a wooden table, a ukulele nobody can play, and a bar that keeps asking: what if we put rosemary in it? Make better coffee. Better financial decisions. Better pricing.

The experiment log

Results so far.

Twelve successful trials, all currently on the bar. Hover a specimen.

The room

Painted red. On purpose.

From cherry to bean — the journey begins at a red counter in Shahbaz Commercial. Soft launch trials ran from 4 PM to midnight; the hard launch never really stopped.
