The Portal - The Coffee of Destiny

The Portal is a coffee shop located in a dark alley, far from the bustle of the city. A small and cozy place, with an old and elegant decorations.

It had a few wooden tables, a red velvet sofa, and a softly crackling fireplace. On the walls were paintings of strange landscapes, which seemed to change shape and color according to the light. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with that of the scented candles that illuminated the atmosphere.

The customer, a young and curious man, who had seen the sign of the coffee shop, had decided to come in to try the coffee. He decided on a table and looked at the menu. There was a great variety of coffees of different origins and preparations, with names that were unfamiliar and intriguing to him.

He chose one called "Coffee of Destiny", which promised a unique and unforgettable experience.

Immediately a waitress approached and smiled kindly at him. She was a beautiful and mysterious woman, with long black hair, bright green eyes, and pale, smooth skin. She wore a tight black dress and a silver necklace with a moon-shaped pendant. She took his order with a sweet, seductive voice.

The customer noticed another waiter, a tall, thin man with short blond hair, blue eyes, and tanned skin. He wore a white shirt, black pants, and an apron just like the waitress. He had a serious and distant, but attractive expression. He was serving another table, an elderly couple chatting.

Behind the bar was the barista. A young and cheerful man, with brown curly hair, brown eyes, and brown skin, wearing a black cap with the logo of the coffee shop, and a red shirt. He had a tattoo of a dragon on his left arm and ear piercings. He was singing a song while juggling cups, spoons, and coffee beans.

The customer was impressed by the contrast between the three employees and the way the barista handled the cups, plates and coffee beans. They looked like beings from another world.

The waitress returned with a tray bearing a steaming mug and a star-shaped cookie. She put the cup on the table and told him that this was his Coffee of Destiny.

The customer asked the waitress what was so special about the coffee. She answered that it was made with beans selected by the owner of the place, who was a man called Ger-Man, who had the gift to know what coffee would suit people. In addition, it has touches of magic herbs that will make you feel incredible things.

The customer's curiosity was piqued and he asked what these incredible things were. The waitress replied with a mysterious smile that he would find out. That the coffee was not for everyone. Only for those who are willing to live an adventure.

The man said he was one of those risk-takers who liked to try new things and get out of the routine.

Enjoy your trip, the waitress said and the customer asked what that meant. She told him that the coffee would take him to a place he had never seen before.

The customer made an incredulous face and the waitress continued with the following words:

The journey will be in your imagination but don't worry, I will be with you, guiding you. I am your guardian angel, your muse, your lover. I am whatever you want me to be.

The man smiled, no longer knowing what to say.

Drink your coffee and let yourself go," said the waitress.

The customer looked at the coffee cup with doubt and fear. He didn't know whether to believe what the waitress was telling him or whether it was a joke. But he also felt a strong attraction to her and to the coffee. He wanted to know what would happen if he drank it. So he plucked up his courage and took the cup of coffee and brought it to his lips.

He felt an intense heat that ran through his whole body. The taste of the coffee was sweet and bitter at the same time, with a spicy and fruity touch. It was the best coffee he had ever tasted in his life. He also felt a surge of emotions that invaded his soul.

He was happy, sad, euphoric, melancholic, excited, scared, in love, jealous, angry, and calm. All at the same time. It was as if the coffee had opened the doors of his mind and heart, showing him everything that was inside him.

He saw images projected in his mind like a film. His past, his present and his future. He saw his dreams, his fears and his desires. He saw wonderful and terrible places, known and unknown people. He saw the waitress, who smiled and kissed him.

He was living a unique and unforgettable experience. He was at the Portal.

The Portal was the cafeteria. But it was also much more than that. It was a place where time and space were distorted and mixed. Where coffee was a key that opened the doors to other worlds. A place where mysterious beings were the guardians of those worlds. A place where the customer could choose his own destiny.

And so it was that the customer chose his destination. He chose to stay with the waitress on his journey.

When she finished her cup, she discovered that she was in the cafeteria. She was happy to have had a wonderful experience that she would let everyone she knew know about.

This is how The Portal became famous for its coffee presentation.
