Something to say about very real meaningful connections (with some cups dancing around them).

✨"Some of the most significant experiences in this sense took place on the terrace of this unit that serves as an extension of the cafe. There you can also consume some drinks and meetings involving culinary activities are held regularly when the coffee shop becomes too small for this." @adncabrera

Coffee Project: A Must-Visit Cafe in Talisay City, Cebu

✨"When coming over at Coffee Project, be not worried at all because the place is accessible, as it is located here in Starmall in Talisay City, Cebu. If you're a commuter, you can ride a jeepney going to Starmall. For those who have a car, you can use Waze or Google Maps and search for Starmall Talisay. What's more amazing is that there is also a parking space there so it's hassle-free if you're bringing your own car." @fevyulous

Bull Market & Brunch: A Coffee with a Touch of Madness - Barquisimeto

✨"When I say it's an open concept, I mean that here you can find everything. Bull Market & Brunch is located in the Las Trinitarias shopping centre in the city of Barquisimeto. I decided to go to this place for three reasons: first because I wanted a good coffee; second, because I needed to have breakfast; and third, because it was close to the Damasco store (I was going to buy an appliance there)." @neruel

Coffee at the Garden Centre Tea Room

✨"The café also has a Garden Room, which is an undercover outdoor area for dog owners and their dogs. No dogs out today, though. Not many people had ventured out, either. The staff were friendly and it didn’t matter whether it was your first visit or a regular, it wasn't long before I felt at home." @ellenripley

Jóvenes Caficultores: a special edition of Juan Valdez coffee

✨"This coffee is not just flavour. It is part of the Renacer program, a beautiful initiative that supports the new generations of Colombian coffee growers. Young people who work in the fields with care and dedication, achieve a product of exceptional quality. Each cup carries with it the effort and hope of those who believe in the future of Colombian coffee, and that, for me, makes it even more special." @aurodivys

Coffee Musing | Reunion at a Cafe

✨"It is amazing how over the year one gets into this setting that having a coffee with a friend is one of the best things possible. Yes, I love coffee. This brew plays a big role in Latin life. We drink it since we are children. Not all of us love it, but the ones who do have some interesting story about it being part of their upbringing. Coffee time on our side of the Atlantic is like Tea Time for the British." @bertrayo

For Others, It’s Just Coffee; for Me, It’s the Daily Fuel That Kickstarts My Beautiful Day.

✨"Before getting out of bed, my husband and I talked about what to have for breakfast. And then since it's Sunday, no school, no work, we've decided to have coffee and bread (pandesal) for our breakfast. There is no need to hurry to prepare food since coffee is easy to prepare. This isn't our usual breakfast, but I feel incomplete every day if I can't sip coffee. I love it!" @maria1025

The Aromatic Coffee Wakes Me Up Everyday: Get Up Boosted By This Brown and Pure Black Coffee And Perks From Drinking Coffee Is To Give Us Positivities.

✨"I love the vibes around so bluey clouds and have greeny trees of nature's beauty that refresh our minds and balance life. While sipping coffee ☕️ Giving us time to think more and I have more plans to do especially what makes us happy and do some good delightful things." @rizz26

Unwinding at C'S Café: A Perfect Coffee Spot

✨"That’s why I decided to visit CS Café in Shell Compostela. It's my favourite coffee place because not that many people know the place, and it happens to be what I need to get away from stress. And you know what makes this place interesting? Because it is located inside a GAS STATION! Yes, guys, you read it right. When you think of a café inside a gas station, it might not immediately scream “perfect hangout spot,” right? But C’s Cafe takes that stereotype that will surely make you love the place." @jmjourneys

Coffee Addictions with Hive friends Blast Coversation Makes Life More Amazing

✨"I cannot explain the happiness that I felt since last night I am so excited to meet them all. It has a big difference between virtual chatting and in-person conversation that seems we have known each other for years even though we met each other online last December. Lol, it seems that we only occupy the whole coffee shop with laughter and conversations about our Hive journey that other customers of the cafe for sure are confused about what we are talking about." @antonette

CHRONICLES FOR AN ELEPHANT PAINTER.

✨"I'm terrible at directions. But it's worth getting a little lost to get here.

We come to celebrate the graduation of the Onelio Center. We come to say goodbye in a certain way. Tomorrow we will return to our provinces but we take with us the friendship created in these days. The pact was created through our letters. We have the desire to continue writing. As strange as that may seem these days. For some reason, I carry a book by the Cuban writer Pedro Juan Gutiérrez. A book titled: Dog Meat." @ragnarwilfredo

STARTING THE NEW YEAR WITH A DELICIOUS COFFEE.

✨"I went to the bakery in town and ordered a coffee with milk and chocolate syrup, and a pastry for breakfast, I sat at a table to enjoy my rich coffee, while I savoured my coffee and my meatloaf that was also very tasty, my mind was immersed in my thoughts, thanking God for the year that had culminated, and I toasted alone with my coffee, only he listened to me and accompanied me for the new year that was beginning, without expectations, in other times I used to ask and wish for so many things and then I was left with frustration when they were not given." @josief27
