"If a Cafe with 'OK' coffee is getting more customers than a Cafe with 'amazing' Coffee. Then are people even going there for the Coffee at all? We all enjoy Coffee, or at least I assume we all enjoy Coffee because we are members of a group devoted specifically to Coffee. What about everyone else out there though, in this big wide world? Are they going to a Coffee shop for Coffee? Or are they in fact, visiting said establishment because they have gone on pretenses?"
"Sometimes small joys come very suddenly like accidentally discovering a new coffee shop near my house, normally I still pass by so much that I don't know what's around. A cafe with a green and interesting garden space is my favorite, although it can be more expensive. But I also want to taste the coffee of this shop because maybe there will be a new type of coffee that awakens the most suitable taste."
"After I made my next appointment, handed over my entire life's savings to the receptionist, and gave Dr. Klingy a hug I left feeling pretty sorry for myself; I was not in pain but knew it was coming. I needed some comfort and figured coffee would be a nice way to find that comfort. I hit a café and ordered a coffee."
"I got to contemplating how difficult it would be on my days off to get back to some of my previous towering levels of quality coffee production and consumption rather than just popping a kcup in a machine and standing there like an oaf until it is done so I can slop it down… My current thought process is that I could carefully select and roast particular coffee beans that will satiate my need for sublime coffee, while additionally expanding my coffee horizons. I would then use a home pour over method to bring out the notes, aromas, and flavor of these hand-selected beans and force myself to slow down a bit and get back to my adoration for this pinnacle of beverages."
"What helped me survive this month were cuuuuups of coffee. This March, I found myself drinking 2-3 cups per day, which is beyond my limit. I can only handle 1 or 2 max per day before. But this brown liquid is very effective at making me productive. Also, it just tastes so good. I can’t stop craving it."
"Canggu occupies a small part of Bali but has been renowned as the hipster place on the island. With a large mixture of people from yoga folks to digital nomads and tourists, the place offers a mixture of eco-living and also a modern coffee shop and cafe scenes. The coffee shop and cafe scene offer an interesting look into the Food and Beverages industry whereas a coffee lover and perhaps an entrepreneur, their coffee & cafe scene are worth checking out and learning from."
"I found the sign under some heavy scaffolding. I first was apprehensive about the place, but one peek inside changed my mind. I spotted a beautiful cake with a reddish top and immediately asked what that was. It's an "orange drizzle with passion fruit topping". I ordered a slice even before ordering coffee haha. It looked so good."
"If there is something I enjoy is eating out, visiting new places to have coffee is very stimulating, especially for the appetite. Although in this case, it was more than coffee. On Sunday we went to a family reunion for breakfast at a new restaurant that started more like a pastry shop and then included more elaborate dishes."
"The weather that afternoon was so hot, my friend and I made an appointment to meet at Shilin station, Taipei city. Due to the distance to my destination, which is closer to my house, I arrived first. I decided to wait for her at a cafe near the station, called “CAFE! N”. "
"Has it ever happened to you that you are anxious for coffee time to come and when you go to prepare it, well, there is no coffee....😫It happened to me yesterday."
"I usually travel a lot, my job makes me spend my days from airport to airport and between the hustle and bustle of the city, I have no more pleasant moment than when I can escape from the city and have contact with nature. "
"I reckoned the tea needed a partner so I had some small slices of Ube Bar and a piece of sweet basic Hopia, both are the husband's favorites and I enjoy them from time to time too."
"Drinking a cup involves all our senses and activates many emotions. I confess that I am very curious, so I did not want to stay in that emotional part. I wanted to go deeper into the world of coffee and talk from a professional perspective about this beverage."
"I’m happy that the coffee I am enjoying in my house is a special one and the founder of the company, where I buy my beans from, makes his best to find the highest quality coffee from all around the world. Today’s coffee is from Honduras."
"I did mention earlier that there were two packages coming today. The other package is from Amazon and is some duck and swan food. I do like to make sure they get some quality food. Oh, and people if you do feed ducks and swans then please don't feed them bread. BREAD is not good for them. Checking the tracking site and still no update."
"When the waiters came and gave the menu, there were lots of menus listed with various types of interesting food and drinks. We chose drinks to our tastes. My cousin chose berries pea tea and Ice Chocolate, while I chose to drink a cup of matcha ice tea with 2 traditional desserts, namely fried sweet potato and tempeh mendoan.."
"This coffee shop is located at the foot of a hill called Vong Canh hill. The scene is true to its name, converging all the most beautiful things that nature has to offer here. Charming mountain river."
"Tully has collaborated with the Tom and Jerry brand and offers a variety of items (merch) including mugs and cups. The collaboration still comes to me as a bit of surprise but the characters are cute and seem to add life, nostalgia, and fun to the cups. I guess it’s a cool way to enjoy a beverage."
"Coffee is a great and versatile drink, it can be consumed alone or accompanied, today I greatly enjoyed my rich breakfast based on sweet and balanced coffee prepared with milk and without sugar."
"It's not uncommon to receive a warm cup of barley tea when seated at a Japanese-style restaurant. For me, it is especially welcoming during the colder months. Feeling the clay cup in your hands and the gentle warmth when the tea touches your lips even as it goes down warming the inner walls of your stomach."
"It is always good to have several options when it comes to preparing coffee, whether hot or cold, it always tastes great, depending on my whim and the weather."
"Some delicious baked coffee energy bars made with oatmeal. Perfect to take to work and enjoy mid-morning, giving us a plus of energy to continue with the day. I topped it with a few lines of condensed milk, but this is optional."
"My most recent that I have been working on is a Café Macchiato with a drawing on the top. Now it is not the best drawing or best of my art drawing but I feel a bit more practice and ill be able to draw perfectly. Perfectly a tooth pic and an espresso shot to do the patterns."
"While waiting I took out my camera and tested out the lighting. It was a while before my order arrived. When it arrived, the waiter told me, “ there’s a minimum spend if you want to use your camera to take pictures. It’s 300.000IDR”. I was puzzled."
"In my home, there was a tradition, while I went to the nearest bakery to buy a bolivar of French bread (eight loaves fresh from the oven), my sister or my mother were preparing coffee and milk, that usually happened between 4:30 and 5:00 in the afternoon. When I arrived with the hot loaves, my older brother opened them in the middle and after spreading the butter they were filled with white cheese. "
"Every day is a new opportunity to live, to share, enjoy, and build, and when we start it with our favorite beverage without rushing, reflecting, and being grateful, we are already halfway to having an excellent and productive day. "
"One of the things that caught my attention was that towards the area where the pre-packaged meat, chicken, pork, fish, and charcuterie coolers are, there is a stand where they sell coffee and pastries, there are even some tables and a stand where there is the bread of this chain for sale."
"Summer is almost here 😄. the temperature in Taiwan can reach 37 degrees Celsius, just like the tropical climates in Indonesia. To maintain body moisture so that I'm not dehydrated, I drink tea every day, apart from breakfast, I'm still love coffee."
"The figures in the café hadn’t finished forming yet. Just three turns to the right and three more to the left, then wait for the last thought to dissolve. Ideas in the afternoon, when I am already very tired, are usually fleeting, but with a strong espresso, they seemed to stay a little longer, but not long enough, leaving me with the idea on the tip of my tongue. This time the coffee came a little stronger, I could even have sworn that it had a little dissolved tobacco. Ah, who cares, I was not going to stay with the doubt."
"Have you ever considered how Decaf Coffee is made? Did a Scientist manage to grow a different strain of bean that had all of the elements of Coffee just without the Caffeine? Did Willy Wonka send his Oompa Loompas out into the Jungle to track down the lesser spotted Sans Caffeine Bean?"
