I hadn’t been to a coffee shop in a while. In fact, several of them are not currently operating due to the energy crisis in my country.
My friends have also left, and my wife is not with me at the moment. So I go out all by myself. Having coffee alone has its charms, since it allows you to think about situations you still can’t resolve, or even better, come up with new ideas you need to put into practice.
But this time I wasn’t alone. I arrived at Casa Dranguet, and there were no free tables. However, I didn’t feel like leaving without my reward, so I looked for the tables with the fewest people.
Very quickly and close to me, I noticed a lady sitting alone. I asked her permission to sit with her, and she kindly agreed. It turned out she is a lawyer who mainly works in business consulting and with other economic actors.
The conversation I had with her was very interesting and revealing. I’m very curious and don’t mind if someone is almost a stranger to me. If I have a question about a topic, I’ll ask it. She seemed very happy with the questions I asked, so she answered them without hesitation.
As for the coffee, I first ordered a cappuccino. As I’ve said before, it’s one of the best in my city. Then the attendant told me they had chocolate, so I ordered that too. Finally, while drinking the chocolate, I saw them preparing something I had never seen before, so I ordered it as well: I think it was called a latte.
I thought I wouldn’t sleep at all that night, but incredibly I slept like a baby. In the end, having coffee with strangers isn’t so bad. You always learn something new.
