It has rained last night and Delhiites are loving it. Except that part about going to work. The highways are clogged, the streets are water-logged, and some of us are digging up all the pending compensatory offs as an excuse to enjoy the weather. If you’re thinking of stepping out, we have five cafes just perfect for the occasion. By Jasmine Kaur

If you are a book lover who wants to company them on a skip office day, then this café is the ideal place for you. Head to Sakley’s the mountain café this monsoon to be amidst nature without getting wet. The moment you pull down the curtains, all you can see through the windows are treetops. Featuring fashionably faded furniture, you can gulp down your coffee with some yummy salami pizzas and club sandwiches. INR 1,900 for two.
Café Turtle

Another hot spot for all you bibliophiles is this cute little place which was made to compliment the Full Circle Bookstore in various parts of Delhi. Pick a book to read and get on with your hot cup of coffee and light snacks. What else would you need to make your office leave worth it. INR 1,000 for two.
