5 PM Chatterbox at Gargi’s Cafe Kasauli: Building Conversations and Community
At Gargi’s Cafe, we believe in more than just serving great coffee and delicious Siddus—we’re here to create connections. With that spirit, we’ve launched 5 PM Chatterbox, a series of weekday gatherings designed to bring the local community together over meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and creative expression. Each day has its own unique theme, and we invite you to join us in building this vibrant community.
Why 5 PM?
Weekdays can be hectic, but as the day winds down, we want to create a space for you to unwind, share, and connect. Whether you’re here to tell your travel stories, dive into a deep discussion, or perform at our open mic, this is your space. Plus, we’ve chosen weekdays to give the local community priority—weekends are usually busy with tourists, and this is your chance to have the cafe all to yourselves.

Philosophy Thursdays: Speak Your Mind, No Judgement
Feel like you have something to say but nowhere to say it? Philosophy Thursdays is the space where anything goes. It’s a free-flowing conversation about life, opinions, feelings, and thoughts—without judgement. We break stereotypes, challenge ideas, and get real about what’s on our minds.
