A coffee to read without saying goodbye

✨"Although the café is an art gallery in itself, we can find inside a space where pictorial and visual works by both emerging and even internationally recognised artists are exhibited.
On the upper level, you can enjoy a unique atmosphere. It's a small space, but once you're inside, it feels like a magical world, always accompanied by the aroma of Cuban coffee." @roswelborges

Coffee Shop La Flor de Zapata

✨"@hivecuba and @fivesenses organised the Bitcoin Pizza Day there, and it was the perfect opportunity to visit them, so I set out to go with @estilodereba.
The place is easily accessible, it is located on Zapata and 6 in Vedado, it is on a corner, and although it is small, it makes good use of the space. Its design is simple and functional." @osismi

Space K, a library cafe with large collection of Korean books.

✨"This library cafe has been on my list for a long time. The videos of this cafe that people uploaded on social media looked very cosy and aesthetic. Before I knew that almost all the books they had were in Korean. And the thing is, I only watch K-bands and never really know anything else, like Idols, K-dramas, or even books from Korean authors. So I’ve never wanted to learn the language." @slowjournals

Beautiful detail that sweetened my afternoon: a cup of coffee with a magical smile

✨"This was a cup of coffee at noon, it would be a unique plus. I openly declare myself a lover and fan of coffee and one of my favorite times to consume it is during 3 p.m. at this time I feel a tremendous heaviness my load becomes heavier but it is precisely there where after consuming a warm cup that liquid becomes like a hug that comforts me and reconnects me with my work activities." @sidalim88

My Midday Lunch at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Limketkai

✨"I was craving coffee and was also in the mood for some pasta and salad. I didn’t have any appetite for sweets, so cakes or muffins weren’t on my mind. Upon entering the cafe, I noticed that there were only a few quiet customers, which I appreciated. I enjoyed the calm ambience; it felt very friendly." @luthis26

Brewing Bonds Over Beans: A Planters’ Cupping Session to Remember

✨"Last month, in April, we hosted a special cupping session that brought together a vibrant mix of coffee planters from across Southern India. It was intimate and rooted in what coffee farming is truly about — community, curiosity, and craft.
The idea behind this gathering was simple. We wanted to create a space where coffee growers could come together to taste the coffees we’ve each been fermenting, learn from one another, and start a conversation that transcends the estate boundaries. We hoped it would not only help us identify standout coffees but also reveal where we could improve and innovate for the coming year." @coffeenlove

Celebrations With My dear coffeelovers

✨"Here is the protagonist of this double celebration, which was “Mother's Day” and “My Birthday #7” on this platform"*, so we decided to know a new place in my city, we were my mother-in-law and husband, time for lunch, we had lunch and as a drink we ordered three black coffee, always with expectation, to test its preparation, anyway I took care to give details of how we wanted our coffee, it would be strong and without sugar, so The sugar was added according to our taste, which would be little." @wendyth16

My Frappuccino Recipe

✨"The weekend was a bit hot, something that is very common in the tropical afternoons of this area, even so, I enjoy my afternoon coffee somewhere where there is a lot of breeze, or in an air-conditioned room. But for some time now, I have had the desire to prepare the frappuccino, and I was only missing the whipped cream or chantilly. Some of our desserts have this ingredient, apart from melted chocolate and cocoa powder, so all I needed was the desire to make it" @annafenix

Coffee with oatmeal: an invention from my kitchen ☕

✨" In the middle of soaking the oatmeal and milk, it occurred to me to add coffee, without thinking much about it, I did what I thought, and let's try it. I liked the taste and texture after having tasted it. Based on this wonderful experience, I decided to share with you this small discovery. I decided to try again with established proportions to make my recipe more delicious." @neilamarcano

Coffee date bliss with friends - Baguio

✨"It's a Japanese-inspired coffee shop. When you enter the Homu Cafe, you will feel the warm ambience and the beauty of the interiors of the place. They also offer a variety of coffee and lots of Japanese-inspired dishes. This place provides a comfortable space to relax while enjoying your coffee. " @desyah07
