For Coffee-Loving Mothers

✨"The artisans of the town where I live worked for months to exhibit their crafts in honour of mothers. Beforehand, I tell you that each piece was made by senior citizens, even older adults, and they built them with conventional tools, in their homes, and with their own creativity." @annafenix

Celebrating Mother's Day at Café 55

✨"Another remarkable detail is the cups; they have the coffee logo on them—I've rarely seen this in downtown Caracas coffee shops. They were kind enough to give us a small cookie to accompany the coffee. In short, this coffee was delicious, and from what my friend told me, the macchiato was also very well made." @bulkathos

The best coffee hour with nice experiences and nice coincidences

✨"I prefer to drink it in the morning, after getting cleaned up. I usually drink my coffee with my phone in hand to talk to my children and answer some messages on the Hive platform, as well as being in the company of my husband. The beginning of the day is the best time to immerse myself in my thoughts with a big cup full of that prodigious elixir." @antoniarhuiz

New fan earned

✨"As I am a regular customer in this store, one of the marketing strategies they have is the accumulation of points in each of your purchases, and you can exchange them for any product that has the same value as the amount of points you have accumulated. Interesting, isn't it? well, this is exactly what I did, in fact I was just drinking a matcha in water, hot, and then I thought: there is room for a sweet right? so I checked how many points I had available and I realized that it was enough to exchange them for this delicious cake, which to be honest is very delicious, it is not so sweet as to cloy me, it has citrus flavors like a little blackberry jam, and the lemon of the cake, very delicious." @marialeovalless

Sipping Ideas and Brewing Goals at The Coffee Bean!

✨"As soon as we stepped in, the smell of freshly brewed coffee welcomed us. It was that kind of smell that instantly makes you feel calm and cozy. We all just paused for a second, took it in, and smiled. That alone felt like a mini stress relief." @missellimac

A gift for a latte

✨"I received gifts from my mother-in-law and my husband, but when my daughter arrived and gave me her gift, I jumped with happiness when I unwrapped it. It was the best gift I could receive, not to belittle the others, but everyone knows how much I love mugs and coffee. Her gift was a beautiful mug in one of my favourite colours, accompanied by my favourite coffee and a tendril case. God, what a thrill with this gift! I was so happy." @milik80

Coffee Musings | Coffee after Class

✨"I could look at myself being a grown-up having a chat with other people about work while drinking black coffee. Very similar to what people do at Dinners. Or at least that's what I think some people do at those places." @bertrayo

Preparing masala Chai premix for travel

✨"My husband prefers his black coffee and doesn’t have any specific requirements for how it’s prepared. However, I need my chai; if I don’t get my morning cup, I start to feel lethargic and get a heavy feeling in my head—just one cup makes all the difference." @hindavi

A delicious coffee and snack at: Amarelo café..

✨"This coffee shop started in a small space, with a medium-sized cubicle and a few tables. Over time, they've grown very quickly. Now, they own almost an entire floor of the mall. They recently opened another section of the coffee shop that's more like a restaurant. I think they deserve it because everything they sell is top-quality, starting with their delicious coffee." @marivic10

I already talked about books, what about sweets?

✨"I confess that I didn't drink much coffee before. Back in Havana, in the city of my birth, it's usually drunk straight. They drink what's known around the world as espresso. At most, one cup a day.
At home, my mother drank a cup of espresso in the morning and a few times at night.
When I arrived here in Las Tuna, almost all invitations for meetings or just to chat were made in a café." @abelarte
