"I stood outside for a while looking at the equipment and checking out their menu items. I was there long enough for the staff to think I’d be dining there. I thought going in would have been the polite thing to do. By that time too, I was really hungry, was already tired and realized saving myself a 10-minute walk for a first-time experience, wasn’t necessarily a bad idea."
@zonadigital21 Just a few types of coffee
"The Café Cortado is also a variation somewhat similar to the Espresso coffee because here this coffee also has a striking creamy layer, but in this case it is made of milk, they add hot milk foam, if we see it at first glance it does not have much difference to the Espresso coffee, but it does have it in its flavor."
@galenkp Welcome Home
"For me it truly felt like coming home; literally. I have spent so much time here for so long that it feels like I am part of the family and have been treated as such. But the open display of affection from the owner, the genuine welcome I received, the words welcome home made me feel pretty damned good; valued for more than just my money."
@tuyenmei95 Trung Nguyen Coffee - Coffee of Aspiration
"This cafe is nothing new, nothing special, but I love going there, going alone, meeting friends, the space of the cafe here is not really beautiful, like many cafes in Da Nang. But this place has its own identity, which only Trung Nguyen coffee brings. That place gives me peace to work, chat with friends on weekends. "
"The view from the Cedar cafe is mostly mountain view with all the greens. Though, one side of the cafe, you can see the Wind Turbine farm far far away which I found it's pretty neat. Also, many spots and kinds of seat for you to choose from. My fav is the one just right by the edge of the hill and I can hang my feet down and facing the wind turbine I was talking about."
"We found a really cute bakery /cafe that had an amazing assortment of pastries, cakes, donuts and cookies. They also had a pizza oven and sell pizza, wraps and sandwiches and some ready made meals for home like soup. They even had a drive through for a quick order and pick up of coffee on the go."
"According to the ancients, the fish symbolizes longevity, courage, luck and success in life. It is like a fire symbolizing life, which originates from the story "The carp crosses the dance floor and turns into a dragon" in the legend of the Chinese people.
Koi pond has feng shui meaning for Vietnamese people. It brings luck, luck and fortune to everyone.
It is a stream of cyclical water that brings vitality to every home.
Besides, T-more decorates the boat with spring flowers to make the holiday atmosphere more exciting."
"I've also seen a lot of reviews online, there are also negative reviews about the restaurant, but for me, everyone should go with a relaxed mind, even though the price is a bit expensive compared to other places, but it makes up for it. Taking pictures in a very fine space, when the sunset falls along with the sound of the ocean waves creating an extremely wonderful picture of nature, this place is worthy for you to see and experience."
"We used a hot chocolate powder with with a dark chocolate sauce and Cadbury chocolate as a coating . Not a thin coating as the mixture was filled in side and we do not want it to spill out . Now if you read my mocha blog then you know that Cadbury chocolate does not mix well with hott milk and you get chocolate pieces that stick to the bottom. But we used it as it is easy to mold and it holds the mixture together."
"As you can see in this my first photo, these coffee beans are like this and when I put them in my hand there was a delicious and fruity coffee smell that filled my soul and spirit, I couldn't resist and had to have a cup of coffee right away. This is the brand of roasted coffee that is placed in this machine and the beans as in the photo above you can see it is a delight I still didn't know this brand of coffee very well but it is really very good.
It is a delicious Portuguese roasting.
"An ordinary cafe, with a discreet sign "Coffee and pizza".
In fact, they offered a wide range of treats and even a separate children's menu. It was just right for us."
"Small Capuchin” referring to the hood like foam on top, a Cappuccino is one of the most widely consumed coffee beverages worldwide. This team claims their dry cappuccino is close to original, & we have no reason to disbelieve that, what with the airy foam cap atop the drink, the frothy milk & the nuanced yet strong notes of the espresso below it. This didn’t need sugar, because the milk was heated at 60-65 degrees C to preserve the lactose content."
"Xing Fu Tang is my favorite boba milk tea outlet but it's my first time to visit this outlet in Mall. The concept and form are slightly different, usually, there is no seating, and we can only order take away like Boba Milk Tea in general. But at this outlet, seating is provided and the concept of an open space so that we or others can see who is sitting there."
"There are people who are allergic to hair dyes and this application with coffee can be very useful in those cases. It is a way to always look beautiful, even though the signs of aging are already present and our allergies can play against us. The advantage of this way of using coffee on your hair, is that you can do it as many times as you want and it will not hurt you, because it is something natural and also contain a lot of vitamin B."
"Even after I got in I was not 100% sure if this was a Portuguese deli or not. It took me a little bit to start seeing Portuguese brands and products that I knew. I would say that maybe because here in this area there are not too many Portuguese People they had to adapt a little bit and half of the products are Italian. I was not mad about it, I was just not sure."
"When I arrived at the Millenium, I took my son to one of the places that his mother and I frequent, not only because of the rich and delicious coffee or chocolate that they sell in that store, but because of the the good treatment, respect and cordiality that we always receive from our friend Giovanni, who is in charge of the Churromanía franchise."
"Anomaly, one of the many coffee shops in this city. The coffee shop concept is very simple; uses a lot of marble and wood ornaments on the tables and chairs, also has the aim of introducing coffee and its utensils to visitors by displaying various kinds of coffee utensils and various coffee beans from various regions."
"Some like it black, others with milk, maybe a strong brown or a light white, they like it brewed or machine brewed, but regardless of its preparation and presentation, a coffee will always be the best.
With it you can do anything, since it is part of our life, let's start to show the different uses we give to this delicacy."
"From this angle, the café looks like an oasis for coffee lovers. I love how it's a good distance from the street but secluded enough to be quiet for you to enjoy your drink."
"This coffee is supposed to have more classical taste, being a chocolate one but still it has some fruity flavors in it. Apart from the chocolate and hazelnut, you can find some plum notes as well. This coffee was a coffee of the month in January so I purchased both espresso ground coffee (M2-3 size) and V60 one(M2-8 size). Coffee of the month usually comes with a 15% discount, so I make sure to buy a packet every month. The price of this one was about $8 per 200g package."
"Caramel macchiato is a basic bitch drink.And I admit that I have inner basic bitch stuff especially when it comes to coffee. Anyway now, I am telling you how I make my dupe version of caramel macchiato at home with some basic ingredients and tools. You can also use instant coffee, that’s fine too. We’re on a budget so, let’s not talk about medium/dark roast Brazilian specialty coffee."
"My warm air is always met by a strong desire with cold drinks, expresso cocolate coffee is a cold drink containing real coffee from spices, the strong aroma smells very addictive, a coffee shop with a wheelbarrow sells several types of selected coffee with aromas. that stings."
"Although we live in the city and we are already adults we still remember those moments when our mother did everything possible to see us happy and this little coffee was enough for us, because they were different times than those we live today, that for children to be happy parents have to buy them soft drinks, ice cream or candy to make them feel good or be happy we were satisfied with our cup of coffee clarito."
"I am a follower of decoration and design and Paramo Café has a very nice decoration, with noble materials in sight, counters and concrete floors that extend to the seats, with these simple but beautiful gray backs with colored buttons, along with the tolin metal chairs, the beautiful wooden door with the detail of your brand, accompanied by the overhead shelves of metal and wood, the classic industrial style are present in their cafeterias, this along with several vintage items that give a very attractive touch to the place, with a good lighting design that makes the place even more cozy."
"I have done the cutest thing today with coffee!
And I promise that when you look at what I bring an instant smile will pop up on your face and will want to try this out. Look! Yes, those are cookies shaped like a Coffee Bean! And they taste like coffee also because there's coffee in them. Let's go over the recipe, shall we?"
"I have walked through this passage so many times, admiring the ceiling, floor, and curves. Perfect architecture for this rather industrial city.Stepping in, we had no choice but to take the last option - a bench. Not an easy task when you have to stack your face into a slice of a cake. But as the only option, we took it."
"In summer, this restaurant is very crowded because customers can drink coffee and enjoy the cool breeze from the lake. This cafe targets middle-aged customers and office workers, so the decoration of the cafe is quite simple but elegant. The space of "Lake View Coffee" is small but extremely warm that will make you forget the cold of winter."
"Don't be surprised if the cup is half full because the milker pours his portion of milk directly from the cow to the cup. This is a very particular tradition. Don't be surprised if the cup is half full because the milker pours his portion of milk directly from the cow to the cup."
"When inspiration visits me
it comes without warning
so I must specify
the details of the expected appointment.
With a cup of coffee I wait for her
without showing despair
she always spoils me
by giving me a present ..."
"If you want to find a quiet space in the middle of this busy city to work or simply relax and chat with friends, you should not miss Yen coffee, a new cafe in Can Tho. One of the cafes that is being loved by many young people in Can Tho because of its spacious space, the perfect combination of design and decorations."
"Behind a cup of coffee there are countless hours of work, there is the love with which the farmers take care of each plant, the illusion with which they see it bloom until it turns that long awaited red color, which indicates that the coffee is ready to be harvested."
"I passed by Starbucks some weeks ago and they had a good selection of ”hearty” mugs, cups and tumblers. They also had some cute coffee sets that would make lovely gifts for Valentine’s Day. Who would mind a little extra love in their coffee holder?
They were other cups displaying Japan and Kobe."
"It has been a tradition passed down in our village, that drinking coffee in the morning will be very good for health. Besides being able to increase body stamina, it can also build reflection of the mind."
"For the preparation of a good Irish coffee you have to be attentive to the measurements, in my case, since I did not know them, I had to look for a video on YouTube that would teach me, I was surprised that to make a loaded Irish coffee with enough flavor and aroma, You have to divide the cup of coffee into 3 parts and add 1/3 part of whiskey and the remaining 2/3 is with supercharged coffee and the topping is whipped cream."
"As waiters know us because Olivera's coming here almost every day, they gave us "membership cards" so each tenth coffee we order is free. Olivera likes to drink latte the most, and I am a passionate lover of Nescafe so that is what we order mostly every time when we are here. I saw Nutella Mocha in their drink menu and I wanted to try it (I like sweet coffee and I always put a lot of sugar). All I can say is that was very taste and I will definitely order it agang. Althought waiter brought me sugar, I didn't need it."
"This is a pretty and delicious drink, which is easy to make. The main ingredients to make this drink are sakura latte powder, sweetened condensed milk and black coffee."
"I'm always fascinated by the variety of teas that exist in shops, restaurants, cafés and by extension in our kitchen cupboards.Case in point, this strawberry 🍓 tea packet we saw while having breakfast at a restaurant recently. Strawberry 🍓 convenience in a pack. Just add hot water and your favorite sweetener."
