Old-fashioned coffee shop, Je Kup coffee shop, located next to the Trang River.☕️

✨"This picture was taken 2-3 days ago when I went jogging with my wife in the morning along the Trang River canal. Every morning after jogging, my wife and I head to a coffee shop, Jeab Kup Shop.

I took pictures along the way before walking into the coffee shop. The atmosphere was great because the coffee shop is next to the Trang River." @prapanth

ONCE IN A COFFEE HOUSE, AS WE MEET AGAIN!

✨"There are many tasty items on their menu, such as coffee-based, non-coffee, refreshments, sandwiches, snacks, meals, pasta, and also their specials. If you are with your friends, they've specials like a friends bundle, and it was worth it. We ordered the clubhouse sandwich, and we have our own chosen beverages." @breepickledoodle

Cuba Book a Literary Café

✨"That was the reason why we went inside the cafe, a small space with only two tables and a bench, it is in this place where you can find the books, which are organized in very original bookcases, like the wooden sofa that I showed you before and that because it was so interesting to me, I show you again now." @osismi

The natural surroundings with beautiful trees contribute to the peaceful atmosphere that makes a perfect getaway from busy life. Whether it's hot, cold, or just another drink, Kahoy Cafe offers a variety to satisfy your craving." @johntheroamer

Three to conjure them up!

✨"This photograph has nothing to do with coffee, but I bring it to you so you can see that I am serious. This is what I look like in my witch outfit!
One thing I can point to first (and which I'm sure you all share with me) is the dirt. I don't have pictures of anywhere like that because if I have stepped on one, I left immediately. That's why I love the limpid glass mugs or the classic white ceramic mugs.

Mugs that let you see their bottom. Mugs that allow for a very close shot." @adncabrera

Coffee and my Annual Vehicle Safety Test

✨"It was throwing it down with rain this morning. As the test takes just under an hour, I usually choose to spend the waiting period in a local café that is situated inside a charity shop to kill time. I had to wait 15 minutes before the shop opened. It was good to finally seek shelter and get warmed up with a nice cup of strong coffee. It wasn't the best coffee I've ever tasted, but it certainly wasn’t the worst. Thankfully, it wasn't long before I dried off." @ellenripley

Coffee with friends

✨"Sometimes we neglect ourselves and let day-to-day activities fill the agenda. We all indeed have to do things to maintain our income, but it is very important to cultivate contact with others, especially if they are colleagues here at HIVE.

I have the good fortune to know several hivers friends in my city, we often get together to play pool or any other board game, we talk, we distract ourselves and we have a good time." @irvinc

Choco Coffee in my New Cup

✨"To finish, we sprinkle the cinnamon in the upper part of the cup; truly this preparation has been of luxury, a total beauty worthy to admire and that does not provoke to take it; but we must do it and I tell you that the aroma and flavor are unique, you must make this recipe which does not have waste. Well, my friends, we are still active with more recipes." @omarcitorojas

BIGGBY COFFEE: Delicious Coffee With A Soft Touch Of Various Flavors

✨ While walking around the mall, we joked and laughed, occasionally asking the mall employees about the location of the Biggby Coffee outlet. Because the mall is very big we had quite a hard time finding the location. After a while, we found it, and the location is near the park and lake with a very beautiful view because the lights make the atmosphere very warm and serene." @tinaagustina

A COFFEE IN ODETTE( Margarita Island)

✨"The place is beautiful with a combination of pastel colors in the furniture, of expensive appearance; however, the prices are affordable, nothing out of our reach we could delight ourselves with coffees different from what we are used to, this place has a variety of options between hot and cold coffees." @jesymora

Filosopi Kopi : Selling Coffee Everywhere

✨"I like some of Dee's books. Some have been made into films, and I have read both books and movies. Products like perfume in Aroma Karsa are some of the ones I want the real version of. Then, there is Tiwus coffee from the book and movie Filosopi Kopi. In the book and movie, Filosopi Kopi is a coffee shop (yup, after the movie was released, the coffee shop was opened in several places), but the most authentic one is the caravan car that is used as a mobile coffee shop. I thought I would not have the experience of buying coffee in this Filosopi Kopi caravan car, but apparently, I did it!" @viviehardika

Good son got back home - Coffee time

✨"Coffee represents for many a drink of passion, to involve people, to have long conversations, to sit still enjoying or simply to warm the body on a rainy day, the truth is that it has been one of the most consumed beverages worldwide, this being a reason to join with others with the same interests, the love of coffee." @marialeovalless

A COFFEE IN THE SQUARE

✨"This week, when I went out to do some shopping with a friend, we stopped for breakfast at a cafe that I had visited before and that I like very much. But the previous times, I stayed inside the place.

The place is located in front of Plaza Bolivar in El Tigre, diagonal to the Cantv offices. This time, we sat at the little tables they have in the same square, and honestly, I confess that the mix of coffee plus nature and good company was great." @annafenix
