Introduction:
The Hot Spot Cafe is most likely one of the most successful franchises to originate in Pakistan. In fact, before opening in Bahria Town, the franchise has pervaded its branches throughout all of Pakistan and in major central hubs such as Lahore and Karachi. It was obvious that the "Spot" had to arrive in Bahria Town, and after a years worth of patience, it finally has.
Right off the bat I can say that this is one of the most unique places I've visited. It's not your average coffee shop when around 200 graphic posters are surrounding you. I actually found it entertaining trying to decipher some of the more complex "humour".
Relative Location
The Hot Spot Cafe is situated behind Arena (Cinema) in Phase 4, Bahria Town Rawalpindi.
Size
The size of the shop is relatively small, but that doesn't stop ice-cream lovers from barging in. There are around five tables which can accommodate around 20 individuals. Not as much as most branches, where there are multiple stories, but its enough, as most people take-out.
As aforementioned, the decorations are very unique and are most likely the sole, exclusive place in Pakistan where you would be able to find this. Innumerable posters about Hollywood, Bollywood, Lollywood and humorous remarks surround the wall area of the shop. Despite this, most teenagers find this a commonplace and an area to "chill".
Service
When it came to the staff, there were only two men working, although essentially they should've had more. With the random rush entering the building any second, it is necessary to keep a larger employee count. In spite of this, they still managed and carried out work productively. It took a bit of time for the items to arrive, but that's because we ordered fresh items. (i.e Waffle Cone.) Aside from that, the service was superb and the staff was welcoming and hard-working.
Food
Perhaps, for some, this is the most important facet of a restaurant, the food. Undoubtedly, I can say that the Hot Spot Cafe's Ice Cream surpassed the quality, taste and flavor of most vendors in the Islamabad area. I don't know if love is the secret ingredient, but the ice cream is just delicious. I literally couldn't stop consuming the ice cream, despite the heaviness and its extreme "nutrition". We tried the Dutch Chocolate and Oreo Chocolate Chip flavors, and both were excellent. They don't exactly have a sundry of different flavors but its sufficient for a treat after dinner.
The also offer other foods. Sandwiches, cupcakes, coffees, bagels, sundaes, shakes and fro-yo's are some items included in the menu.
Verdict
BTP Overall: Excellent
- Food: 4.5/5
- Service: 4/5
- Atmosphere: 4.5/5
