Chai Pe Charcha 🫖 & Accessibility ♿

Hy Local Guides, :teapot::wheelchair_symbol::person_with_white_cane:

Manaveeyam Veedhi (wrongly categorised as a park than a street but anyways), a re-initiated into a Smart Street with Smart bins, Mobile Charging Station, Wheelchair Accessibility and Tactile Pavings has led me add a Tea Shop to Google Maps as part of @TusharSuradkar’s Chai Pe Charcha.

Karolls Foods Cafe Kudumbashree is one of the tea shops in Manaveeyam Veedhi. Even though Arjun owns it, the shop is run by his Family.

I added the Tea shop on April 7th which got accepted right away.


What makes this Tea Shop Unique?

  • Wheelchair Accessible and Visually Accessible - as it is situated on the sidewalk of the street.
  • They use glass cups and have zero use of plastics even for foods and snacks.
  • LGBTQ+ :rainbow_flag: Friendly
  • Wheelchair users and individuals who use Tactile Pavings are now a regular customer to this Tea shop after it got opened as the street is fully designed to be Accessible-Friendly.

Share Accessible Tea shops with your fellow Local Guides in your area to participate in Chai Pe Charcha.

Wonderful - you did it again, dear @Rahul001

Multiple goals in one walk through the neighborhood - accessibility, LGBT-Friendliness, Sustainability, and Chai pe Charcha = supporting small businesses.

I love this neat and clean small business. I can only imagine how nice the surroundings must be just from one photo :+1:
