Coffee time ☕

✨"Among so many responsibilities of each day it is necessary to take time to drink coffee, for me it is a total escape and a moment of calm.
Coffee is a small stimulus among so many things I have to do during the day, some moments are not the best, and I feel that I am above my possibilities.

So a cup of coffee is a stimulus that makes me remember that life is worthwhile, to relax, to think, to take that time for me is wonderful, even if it is not for a long time." @cirangela

Drinking Coffee In An Aesthetic Corner

✨"I think every place has its own interesting character. If made with a certain architecture, of course, the design of these places will look even more interesting. Lately, we have seen many tourist attractions, especially cafes in public areas that offer aesthetic corners." @anggreklestari

Reunited Over a Cup: How Coffee Brings Us Back Together After a Year!

✨"Despite being apart, we're proud of each other for navigating life and growing into our own, but on the other, there's a deep ache of missing the simplicity of the days when you were always together. Adulting pulls you in different directions, with responsibilities, work, and schedules making it harder to connect like before." @teacherlynlyn

Discovering District V Cafe ✩🧇 ₊˚☕⋆⁺₊🌭✧

✨"District V Cafe looks so fantastic when you're still outside. As we entered, we easily felt welcomed, and the staff at that time was approachable. She accommodates us even if we're having a hard time deciding what to order. They have a lot of patience, though. 😆 Although we are a bit disappointed because some foods and drinks are not available at that time, we still feel welcome. The vibes are great from the several wooden tables and chairs, as well as a counter with high chairs, which makes it more rustic. From its brown theme and the way the light pours in, it creates a more comfortable and intriguing atmosphere. " @kayela

Visiting Quipao to say goodbye to the pregnancy cycle with a latte

✨"This visit to Quipao, is what will be my closing of the pregnancy cycle before the c-section, which is in 4 days. After leaving the last consultation and checking with the doctor that everything was fine but that I would have to bring forward the cesarean section for the safety of both the baby and me. That's when I decided to go and say goodbye temporarily to the coffee shop walks, the delicious taste of coffee and my huge body from the pregnancy belly." @chacald.dcymt

A New Coffee Corner

✨"My friend invited me to a cafe, located in the centre of the city, Once on the way to the cafe, she gave me two options to choose from: in one place they offered coffee, chocolate and other natural drinks, accompanied with cookies and other sweets; in the other café they offered coffee also drinks and different pastries, I opted for the first café since my weakness is to have a rich coffee with accompanied with pastries, and when I saw the place I loved it, you can tell they are just starting, but from the beginning, they offer us a unique atmosphere in the middle of a small oasis, when I arrived at the place I felt pleased, since the space in the middle of its nature, makes us feel that we are sharing a coffee in the garden of our house." @lanoican

My morning coffee time

✨"This is my grinder. The rich aroma of roasted coffee fills the air, and just the smell is enough to lift my spirits! These beans are medium-dark roasted, offering a bold fragrance even as you grind them. I've had this grinder since before I started enjoying coffee, as I initially bought it for blending spices (though to be honest, I tried it once, failed miserably, and left it unused for a while). Eventually, I discovered that by changing the blades, I could use it for grinding coffee. This little grinder has found its place in my daily routine." @sabosuke

Enjoying a Coffee Afternoon for Two! ☕💞✨

✨"Since December we have had a lot of activity at home with the operation of our little daughter, plus the festivities of the date and work, with so many things the routine can sometimes be exhausting so we must take advantage of every time we can get away together and if there is coffee in between much better, so we went this day to the cafeteria of Hola Supercenter where the coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is quite nice to talk and share." @marcelys1

A coffee for good vibes

✨"One of the elements I liked most about Like Coffee was its neon, modern and elegant theme. The large windows allow a glazed visibility to the outside, so that customers can enjoy their cup of coffee while silently watching the city go by. But if you want to drink your cup outdoors, you can also do so. There are two different spaces in the same coffee shop, it's up to you to choose depending on how you feel more comfortable. I preferred to go inside and relax more, as I don't like to disturb my coffee drinking hours, especially when the day is very noisy." @soldierofdreams
