Melt and Mingle cafe in Coimbatore specialises in chocolate-based desserts
Walking into Melt and Mingle feels a bit like stepping into Willy Wonka's world. If Wonka had traded his whimsical factory for a minimalist café, a space where tropical touches meet soft lighting, comfy seating, and mellow music, it would feel just like this. Nestled amid the hustle and bustle of Coimbatore, this cozy café started as a homegrown dessert bar.
Here, couverture chocolate forms the whole philosophy. Co-founder Sibi M, an IIM-A graduate, shares how his obsession with chocolates led him to realise his lifelong passion of building a chocolate legacy.
We start off with their Belgian Iced Chocolate, a velvety, bitter-sweet refresher on a hot day. The drink is packaged in a sleek, compact pop can. The OG skillet cookie is a must try. The cookie is made based on order and served in a piping-hot cast iron skillet topped with choco-chips. It is an ideal balance of soft and molten centre with crisp edges and goes well with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream, that adds a great contrast.
Melt and Mingle offers a well-curated menu for chocolate lovers in the city. 'We wanted to build a community for people who love chocolates,' says Sibi. The café carries commitment to couverture chocolates. Couverture is premium chocolate that contains a higher percentage of cocoa butter making it richer, glossier, and more expensive than compound chocolates used in commercial kitchens.
Then comes the drink that is the culinary equivalent of the feeling of being wrapped in a warm blanket on a rainy day. Their luxury hot chocolate, served in cute ceramic mugs, is a thick, creamy, steaming hot indulgence, perfect for comforting the soul after a long day.
Their Iced Mocha, Sibi mentions, is made from Arabica beans, freshly ground, and brewed in-house. The perfectly roasted coffee beans shine as the star of the drink, elevating it with a hint of nuttiness. The triple chocolate brownie, a mix of dark, white and milk chocolate, is a new Instagram sensation.
The café also offers a variety of savoury appetisers to choose from. The co-founder reveals plans for launching a gourmet breakfast menu shortly. Melt and Mingle currently has on offer a seasonal dessert menu called The Mango Soiree. The mango Dubai chocolate, mango tropical tres leches and the mango coconut cooler are a fusion of tropical sweetness and are perfect for beating the heat.

Inception star Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet announce separation after 18 years
Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet, once considered a power couple in French cinema, have decided to part ways after nearly two decades together. The two announced their separation in a joint statement to Agence France-Presse, emphasizing that their intention was 'to avoid all speculation, rumors and risky interpretations.' Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet started dating in 2007. The longtime couple did not provide a specific reason for their breakup but clarified that the decision was made by 'common accord' and with 'mutual goodwill.' Marion and Guillaume first appeared together on-screen in the romantic drama Love Me If You Dare (2003), a film that marked a turning point in both their careers. They began dating a few years later in 2007. Their family life began in 2011 with the birth of their son, Marcel, followed by the arrival of their daughter, Louise, in 2017. Both stars are prominent figures in the global entertainment industry. Marion achieved international acclaim with her Oscar-winning performance as Édith Piaf in La Vie en Rose (2007), a role that catapulted her to global stardom. She later appeared alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010), also featured in third instalment of Christopher's Batman trilogy in The Dark Knight Rises (2013) and opposite Brad Pitt in Allied (2016). Guillaume, meanwhile, has built a reputation both in front of and behind the camera. In addition to directing and writing several well-received French films, he also appeared in The Beach (2000), sharing screen space with Leonardo. Their announcement comes as a surprise to fans who admired the couple's enduring partnership, both personally and professionally. Though they managed to maintain a relatively private life over the years, their creative collaborations and shared history made them one of France's most beloved duos in film.

Amazon founder and business tycoon Jeff Bezos got married to journalist and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez on Friday at a sumptuous ceremony with the rich and famous on an island in Venice's lagoon.

The wedding is thought to have taken place in a vast open-air amphitheatre on the island, which sits across from Venice's iconic St Mark's Square. The newlyweds were to be serenaded by Matteo Bocelli, son of the famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli, reports said. Michelin-starred chef Fabrizio Mellino prepared the wedding dinner, while the cake has been made by French pastry chef Cedric Grolet, the Corriere della Sera said. Sanchez is alleged to have prepared 27 outfits to wear during the festivities. The Costume The bride was corseted and cosseted in her high-necked, hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding dress on the grounds of an 18th-century brick villa outside of Milan. The Milanese lace-wedding dress had 180 chiffon-covered buttons and took over 900 hours to make. Featuring on the Vogue cover, Laura Sanchez is now officially Laura Sanchez Bezos.
