under a canopy on that terrace , the old and young of the city were often seen immersed in games like the chess and checkers , while on the benches near the wooden balustrade one could every now and then come across a dilettante musician playing his guitar and singing old rustic songs , and inside the shack , apart from the service area and the kitchen , there was also a quiet section with a little library of books provided for those wishing to absorb their senses in to the imagination or the didacticism of the written word , and despite all these amenities , eat n treat did not at all overcharge its customers , a delicious hot cup of coffee was only priced at a reasonable twenty five bucks while its famous chocolate pastry could be had by shelling out a sensible twenty .
