One step towards inclusivity
Amidst so many cafes in every nook and corner of Koramangala, there is something that makes Echoes stand apart. The simple fact that this cafe only employs staff with hearing and speech impaired servers, and generating employment opportunities for them. They get to meet more people from their community and definitely makes its visitors learn something about them.
How to order?
