Hello Everyone!

I am Venkatesh [aka Venki], your regular coffee loving neighbor. I love wearing different hats and bringing a full spectrum of flavors to everything I do. I am a loving husband, a doting father to two adorable boys, an art-e-preneur owning an art gallery, I work in the pharmaceutical industry as a senior analyst, I run marathons and am now a proud owner of Kaleidoscope Coffee.

I fell in love with Kaleidoscope Coffee as it totally speaks to me at so many levels. I love this eclectic and warm café: the name and the pun intended (which I am a big fan of Kaleidoscopes), the neighborhood, the story and most of all the joy it brings to the soul. Owning an eclectic neighborhood coffee shop that brings people, coffee and culture together has been my lifetime dream. Growing up on streets of India, one of the best times of my day used to be drinking local south Indian filter coffee at my neighborhood cafe and my mom’s kitchen. Both the places used to be a nexus of people interacting from all walks of life and were infused with the intoxicating aroma of freshly brewed coffee. At all stages of my life, coffee and cafes have been my safe place. Kaleidoscope Coffee is a nod to my past, my present and my future. I want to give back to the community and bring people together in a safe haven. I envision Kaleidoscope Coffee to be an amazing gathering place to foster collaboration in the community, a haven for creativity and a melting pot of cultures. Coffee is the glue to make it all work!

We, myself and my little family [wife and two little kids whom I adore] are super excited to own and run this lovely café. It is a dream come true for us and would give us a chance to own something for ourselves as a family that we would be proud of and grow with. I would love the opportunity to sit with you and have a kaleidoscope of conversations. Welcome to Kaleidoscope Coffee!
