21KM Coffee: A Little Escape from the City

✨"The main thing we appreciate about the place is the mountain views. The nature view is one major reason why the café is often visited. The area radiates calmness and peace, which helps relieve mental stress. Its location was perfect for relaxation and a little adventure." @nanaspeaks

The Luis Gómez Coffee Shop

✨"Cumanayagua is a small town of about twenty-two thousand inhabitants. There are several places where you can buy coffee, but none of them is a coffee shop. That void was more than filled by Luis Gómez, an establishment that opened its doors to the public a little over two years ago." @cumanauta

RECIPE|RICH ICED COFFEE WITH VANILLA

✨"I let myself be carried away by curiosity, and the result was surprising. The combination of coffee, vanilla and milk in an iced version turned out to be a real pleasure for the palate. It is worth mentioning that I had already tasted it years ago in a coffee shop, but hot." @gemahernandez

Coffee with temple's peaceful quiet ambient. Why not

✨ I like the glass with multiple colours the most. Shining up differently all day depends on the sun's location. The staff there's even ray shooting in if the sun ray where strong. Too bad it didn't show during my visit." @reidenling90

It's all about Mugs

✨"Cappuccino tastes best when served in a pucker coffee cup, don't you agree? I can bet my bottom dollar - not that I have one. ;) Nevertheless, if there was a coffee taste test, the tasters would give identical coffee vastly different reviews!
We all have our favourite coffee mugs, right? I do and will give up almost anything for my family and friends, but not my coffee mug! The family gets a dirty look, and they quickly put it down. In the same token, it takes all my strength not to grab it out of a visiting friend's hand, so I 'sweetly' say:

Sorry, my friend, but that's my mug." @lizelle

La Isabelica: A Haven of Flavor and Tradition.

✨""La Isabelica" stands as a true refuge in the heart of my city, a place where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee intertwines with the history and culture that surrounds it. When visiting this charming establishment with my choir friends after a rehearsal, I realized that it is not just a place to enjoy a good cup of coffee, but a space that celebrates the rich Haitian heritage and the tradition of the ancient coffee plantations in the region." @drahmed

A cup of coffee with your companion for a family chat.

✨" Whenever I go there, I am always impressed with the pastry area and with those fabulous sweets, we can accompany the great variety of coffees that we can also enjoy pleasantly; I immediately noticed the cookies. Then, after so many impressions, we went on with our business to place our order." @omarrojas

Boccáta coffee and Dely. A concept of relaxation in the supermarket

✨"Places like this are the ones that make you feel comfortable and want to come back soon. There is no doubt that Boccáta café and Dely is that special little corner that waits for me whenever I go shopping at my home market." @chacald.dcymt

"La Y del Corozo" Coffee in the middle of the road.

✨"The area where we were is called El Corozo, so this little corner in the middle of the road that offered us that delicious coffee was called La Y del Corozo. Popularly it is called Y to the roads that have three different directions and indeed this small bakery is located in a Y that leads to three different places in the state." @aly.squid

The Legacy of Coffee - What Will We Leave Behind if We Lose It?

✨"Without coffee, we could not have an identity, we could not even be conscious. I say this in deep relation to what I usually do; I am not exaggerating when I say that for me coffee is a source of inspiration, what sustains me and what helps me to be creative. That is my identity, and I know that you, who read me, also have an equally deep relationship with the coffee you drink...." @soldierofdreams

Coffee is always a good idea! 🤠☕

✨"I was visually struck by a sign that I had never seen before in my visits to that place. "Coffee is always a good idea" as if it were a divine message confirming my cravings. I took the opportunity to order a short coffee, took out a poetry book and tried to relax in the new environment." @claudiocruz

Breaking paradigms with every sip: an unbreakable bond

✨"I went to the birthday of a great friend of mine. He is our spiritual father, we have always shared pleasant moments even more so over coffee. My great surprise was when I entered his kitchen and saw on the counter a large electric coffee maker, with a capacity of more than 100 cups of coffee, wow! That's great I thought quickly, I was very excited and this joy progressed as the smell of coffee brewing was released." @sidalim88
