Kushala Sip Coffee House is a small and welcoming coffee shop located in Stoneham, Massachusetts on Main Street. The meaning of Kushala comes from the Hindi language, and it can mean happy, expert, and safe. Because of their location, it makes it easy for people to go in and pick up a coffee if they're running errands to the post office or bank. Their menu offers a variety of coffee, sandwiches, pastries, and salads. If you visit their website, you can see that they offer pick up and delivery services as well.
When you walk in, you follow the arrows on the floor to the cashier where you order. Then, you go to the pick up area where they call out your order when it's ready. Because of COVID, Kushala is using paper cups for extra safety precautions. Once you receive your oder, you can go over to a small table where they have spoons, napkins, and different sweeteners. Above this area, there is multiple paintings and drawings. The drawings are from children who have visited Kushala. This part of the coffee house show that it's a friendly family place and that children love to come here for their hot chocolate. When I visited, I also had a hot chocolate which I recommend!
When I walked into the coffee house, I saw this accent wall with paintings and the year that Kushala opened. Kushala was opened in 2015 by a couple from Woburn, Massachusetts. The wife, Dalia is from Mexico and the husband, Vinod is from India. They both came to Boston in 2005 to get their Master's degree in business. Kushala partnered with Crimson Cup because of their commitment to roasting coffee.
Once I got my hot chocolate, I sat down at one of the tables and observed everything that was happening around me. While I was there, multiple families and couples came to sit down and have a cup of coffee and a sandwich. Because it was nice outside, there were many people sitting at the outdoor tables. Kushala had nice music playing which helped make my visit even more enjoyable.
This is the view of Kushala while I was sitting at one of their tables. They still had the protective barriers up because of COVID. While I was sitting, I was able to see that some of the workers were high school students. On the table, there was a QR code where you could order online and they would bring it to your table.
