16 - From NYC to Bangalore: Building a Slow Cafe Experience [Ethic Attic Cafe]

In a city as busy as Bangalore, in the south of India, finding a quiet oasis feels almost impossible. But what if I told you an American expat built exactly that?
Today is a different episode format. I'm taking you to a hidden gem in the heart of Bangalore called Ethic Attic Cafe. I sat down with Rachel at the café. And we recorded this episode.
She shares her fascinating journey from New Jersey all the way to India.
Stay tuned!
In 2 weeks you will be able to watch the tasting at this café!
And later this month, you'll see the concept store.
Both will be on YouTube!
I’m your host, Dorothée Chareyron, a French expat who has lived and worked in Asia as an educator for more than 20 years. I’m now based in Bangalore.
