Open Hand Shop & Café

The store offers a variety of coffees, snacks and muffins. They are all very delicate. The store also sells some small handicrafts.

Clean and sanitary, the taste is ok, except the service is a bit poor.

The most popular yogurt shop on the Ganges River in India, the locals love drinks the most! Tourists from all over the world come here   Speaking of street snacks in India, in addition to Masala milk tea and curry crisps, the one with the temperament of "national food" is lassi. From five-star hotels to street stalls, almost everyone likes it. About the environment: In Varanasi, there is a shop with the longest history. After the morning bath, I was already hungry and thirsty. After asking for directions for half an hour, I finally found the little blue house. It has been passed down for three generations. Although the facade is simple and shabby, it can make more than 70 flavors of milkshakes, such as guava, banana, apple and pomegranate. Even if you want a cumin flavor, the boss can make it.   About food: After waiting in line for a long time, I finally waited for my lassi. The first bite was not very good, but not that bad. The thick and thick yogurt base is sprinkled with bananas, cashews, and saffron. It is sweet and has a little aftertaste.   The cup I picked up was actually a red clay bowl. Whether it's on the street or in the alley, you can see broken bowls. Indians pay attention to breaking the drink after drinking, without washing or refining, which is really "alternative environmental protection".   Tips: If you don't want to stand there, you can also sit in the inner room. This small room of less than 6 square meters is lined with a row of blue long benches, and the walls are covered with headshots of tourists from all over the world - I just happened to have a one-inch photo in my bag, so I put it on the wall. If you come to Varanasi, why not come and say hello.   About transportation: The holy city is very noisy, and there are no subways or taxis. If you want to go deep into the alleys, it is recommended to walk or take a rickshaw. In order to prevent the price from being raised, remember to confirm the place again and again in advance! Save detours or unreasonable.
