In the restless sprawl around Victory Monument, where buses coil in on themselves and pavements seem permanently mid-step, a small cafe has taken root. It doesn’t try to compete with the noise outside; instead it slows everything down. The menu features two signature blends from Port Coffee: ‘giant’, a mellow mix of beans from Brazil and Laos, and ‘little’, a lighter, Ethiopia-forward blend. Both are brewed with noticeable patience and meticulous care. Behind the counter, trays of cakes and loaves cool on racks, and their smell drifts out each time the door swings open. It’s the sort of place made for a pause, for staring out of the window with nothing in your hands but a warm cup and the brief possibility of stillness.
