The cafe is touted to be one of the nation’s first-ever post office cafes. It will be run by the in-house catering department. The cafe operates from 10 AM to 7 PM. Before the GPO had a small staff canteen that used to work at the hall’s corner and the remaining hall was utilized as a counter for philatelic ancillaries such as coasters, cushions, brass plates, stamps, and mugs. The cafe will provide the sales operations of this stuff by an in-house team.
