If I started collecting cups of coffee that were promised to initiate great works, my house would become a jungle of coffee cups... Now coffee is associated for mejust woth finding a joy for at least half an hour - as much as it takes to drink a cup of coffee leisurely in a place dear to the heart.
There were times when, on particularly lonely and sad Sundays of one part of my life, I would travel to the central street of the city to drink coffee. I drank my coffee slowly in small sips, staring at the cars moving outside the window, the people rushing by, and with each sip of coffee I felt that I would survive - at least until next Sunday, when I would drink coffee again, and then everything would be better than today in another week.
Today if I want yo enjoy a particular place with a cup of coffee, I am going to the cofe on the sea shore with inviting name "Ateik ateik" which in English means "Come come".
A few years ago, there was an empty sand dune overgrown with grass, where a takeaway coffee seller often stood. The same merchant came up with the idea of creating a coffee shop for people who want to admire the sea so that they would not hold a cup with frozen hands when the winds, rain or snow are blowing around. Now sea lovers can comfortably sit by the window in a cafe and admire the sea view while drinking hot coffee.
When it comes to the interior, it has a lot to do with the sea. Wooden tables, blue sofas, leather armchairs - cozy environment. There are also a number of outdoor seating areas where you can have a peaceful snack and drink coffee while looking at the sea.
The coffee selection is more focused on people walking towards the sea and getting coffee to take away. This time I ordered a flat white (€2.5). It tasted a bit like cappuccino. They also have a large selection of desserts and snacks. As much as I ate, it was really delicious.
Since it was windy, we decided to move from the outdoor table inside, but we had to speak a little louder so that the music wouldn't drown out the conversation. I prefer when the music is like a background that does not cause discomfort. But that half of hour for drinking coffee and enjoying the view of the sea makes up for all the minuse there. And then we decided to stay and watch sunset there, so I drunk another cup of coffee.
In this cafe, sometimes I cath the sun's rays, and sometimes the wind blows. But sea and coffee are always waiting for me here. Coffee creates a sensation of happiness and coziness. In the storm or rain, a cup of coffee always inspires me for tomorrow.
You, please, come for a coffee…
No invitation and no questions ask…
I will always wait for you at the window…
In spring, summer, autumn or cold winter...
You just don't bring anything...
Everything is there - pastries and silence...
We'll meet the heat or the blizzard together...
You just come and drink coffee...
I will always wait for you...
