Aaladipattiyan Ambattur

if your morning starts somewhere along the madras thiruvallur high road, or you're waiting out the bus stand chaos at dunlop before the day properly begins, a place like aaladipattiyan gives you somewhere to actually land. ambattur isn't the part of chennai people usually talk about when they talk about specialty coffee, which is precisely why it matters that a shop like this exists here, holding its ground on one of the busiest commuter corridors in the city. locals know it. you'll figure that out quickly enough. the area moves fast, but the coffee gives you a reason to stop, even briefly. on a slow morning, when the kamarajapuram stretch is still waking up, a black filter or a short espresso here is the right call.
