Curbside Coffee On A Hot Summer's Day In Hamburg☕ Coffee Shop Prompt No. 26 by @tanjakolader

It's warmer and hotter the last couple of months! Yay! 😁 With that comes my cravings for colder beverages to "hydrate" (not sure how hydrating caffein-related drinks are though 😅).
Oh well, that didn't stop me from enjoying those brown relaxing bitter drinks on our last day in Hamburg last week.
Snacking with coffee and waffles by @aurodivys

As a coffee lover, whenever I go out to run an errand, I always look for a nice and cosy place to have a coffee to recharge my energy to continue doing everything planned. So, these days, I went with my husband to a shopping mall to make some pending purchases and we entered Crepes & Waffles, a Colombian restaurant chain where everything is delicious, with good prices and a very cosy atmosphere.
Pancong and SP Filtered Coffee by @vannour

We call it 'filtered coffee,' which refers to the process of repeatedly filtering the coffee. Which is processed in two dipper containers and a special fabric filter bag used to hold the roasted coffee beans. Then it is filled with boiling water and continued to be heated with boiled water vapor from another container below it.
Looking For Coffee In Daikanyama And Found Urth by @wittyzell

I couldn't decide between having a tea or a coffee, and iced coffee or a smoothie. It's my turn to order now and out of panic, I quickly blurted out cafe mocha, iced. Yesss to sweet coffee! 😂
To my surprise, the attendant asked me what my seat number was but I didn't reserved a seat. My eyes scanned inside the coffee shop but couldn't find any vacant seats so I told her I'd just sit outside. I wanted to sit inside though, I needed the aircon. It's still summer in Japan, which means it's too humid outside, I would melt.
Bitter, sweet and luminous by @verdesmeralda

Nothing motivated me to get out of bed... today for the first time I prepared coffee with ginger and I really liked it, it exceeded my expectations, I told myself that if I didn't like it I wouldn't publish it and, as you can see....
I liked it!
Be Berry is here again… Let’s try this LIMITED EDITION coffee! by @mdosev

The barista was nice and aksed us for our choice. We gladly informed him about our pssion about specialty cofee and that we seek more weird and fruity taste. He told us that a coffee from Costa Roca would fit our taste perfectly.
“Two double shot espressos for us, please!”
TCSP/W-26 Where do we sit today? by @osismi
It is also feasible to be near the bar if you are interested in learning about the place, the service they provide, because sitting close to the bar offers us more opportunities to interact with the bar employees, sometimes my sister and I try to be close to talk to them and promote the coffee from our farm.
Getting to know Midas café&market with a delicious moccachino. by @alfrednoyed

This place is located in my beloved Maracaibo in Urb Canta Claro, and as I mentioned, they are more than a cafe, since you have everything to buy there, even details for a loved one without going so far, you drink your coffee and then you You go shopping right there hehehe, it also has a variety of delicious desserts.
Coffee Date with my newfound Friends by @nachtsecre
The iced coffee is so refreshing that we don't even notice that we already have an empty cup. But the different stories still continue while we are watching the busy roads and sun setting from our seats. It's so peaceful that we don't even wanna go home. When people choose to give me a piece of themselves, it always makes my heart smile.
Combination of medicinal herbs. Fennel and rosemary tea. by @emily22

I woke up with general malaise and first time in history that I do not get up to consume my traditional coffee, I guess there are times that our routine is neutralized by infinite circumstances, that every heart lives.
It was strange, such a situation that my grandmother recommended me to take a natural hot drink, in the Venezuelan Andes it is known as infusions, in the house we have a variety of medicinal plants, but the selected ones were fennel and rosemary
