Tea & Honey Thru the Ages by @honeydue

I had my first date here. So did my best friend. I still have the little heart-shaped note that came with our tea. It reads "Fairytale Autumn". I took it as a sign at the time, even though my date didn't know we were on one.

Le Bimbo Cafe by @leaky20

The place that we stopped at was called Le Bimbo, which I believe translates to The Babe. It's kind of a funny name for a coffee shop but I think that it also becomes a bar at night, so with that in mind, the name seems a little more fitting.

Cups, coffee & flavor by @sofiaquino98

In the signature coffee shops I have visited, I have consumed coffee in glass containers. I can say that the taste on those occasions has been ideal, as the acidic or sweet notes of the roasted coffee are easily preserved. It is a 100% coffee flavour without alterations.

Come at Barista's Cafe at Tabogon, Cebu by @yannia

I am enjoying sipping my iced chocolate and sipping my friend's iced coffee. So far, I have liked iced coffee and the red velvet taste melts on my tongue, how is this possible? The side cheese is tasty on my lips. Everything the barista has to offer is worth a shot.

Time for V60… It’s been a while since I last brewed on this, but this coffee deserves it! by @mdosev

I had almost forgotten my V60 setup because these days I generally brew cold brew and AeroPress coffee. During the hot days, I need refreshing cold coffee drinks and hot filters sound way too much to me. I tend to make one bigger batch of cold brew every other day and experiment with cold AeroPress beverages using different coffee varieties.

Coffee as the Centre of our Friendships by @sidalim88

When the first muffins came out of the oven, they had to be accompanied by a delicious cup of coffee, both hot, which allowed us to share an afternoon of pleasant conversation and planning our plans. As the muffins were coming out of the oven, we continued to accompany them with coffee and between conversations we ate and drank a few.

My Experience in Zona Café Gourmet by @yelimarin

When I arrived at the cafeteria I liked the atmosphere, as well as the temperature, I say this because I don't like cold restaurants.
I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mrs. Leidys Alcalá...I enjoyed a well-presented café con leche, as they have a Barista. Something that hooks me in a place is the presentation of the product.

Contemporary Artisan Matcha at Nendo Matcha - Matcha Specialty Tea House by @isdarmady

I had an interesting impression from my first visit to Nendo Matcha. In terms of the design concept, Nendo Matcha uses a room interior with Japanese tea house-style vibes. We can see it from the predominance of white used for the interior of Nendo Matcha. The minimalist and cosy impression is felt when you enter this place, moreover the warm and lively welcome like when you enter a Japanese restaurant is also done here.

Change of plans by @riz611

The good thing is that this café isn't too far away from my place, because I really wouldn't be in a good mood if I had to manoeuvre through Dhaka amid the evening rush hour.
Also, the café was fairly empty, which is a good thing, especially when you're going to be talking business. The people over here don't know how to keep their voices down, they forget that other people are surrounding them, a bunch of strangers who are also trying to have a good time as they converse away.

Colorful Breakfast: Coffee, Pizza & Cinnamon Rolls by @gaboamc2393

Visiting again at grandma's house, I found my mom in the kitchen while the other members of the family were still asleep, of course, she welcomed me with a nice cup of coffee and joined me for a talk.
