Auckland coffee shop breakfast.

✨"After ordering my ham and cheese croissant was very fresh and the croissant was really buttery, along with a black coffee only came to just over £5, which I thought was very reasonable, but it’s early days and I don't know what New Zealand prices are going to be like. The service was really quick and I’d just sat down when the waitress appeared with my breakfast. I was hungry and tucked into breakfast before my Hive post head took a breakfast photo." @diveratt
I no longer buy 100gr coffee☕️

✨"I bought a different brand and tried it, from there I realised that it was not only "bitter hot water." In addition to this, it helps me to stay awake. Something that did not cost me as much as now. I do a lot of things during the day, and somehow coffee is a good companion." @zulfrontado
A coffee in the workshop from La Estancia café

✨"I was able to get out for a few hours with my family, as they are visiting the fair in the town of Táriba. We visited the Basilica and, of course, my favourite coffee shop. But I didn't have time to sit down and enjoy my coffee. So I ordered it to go, as I had to get to the workshop to continue filling the backlog of orders." @chacald.dcymt
Getting to know the world of specialty coffee
✨"The specialty coffee is another aroma, another flavor something totally new and pure is an explosion of flavors and aroma that once you immerse yourself in it you learn to notice that what you loved is not good at all and for now I am only loyal to one brand, this brand is grain by grain, and had months consuming their commercial coffee that is already far superior to other brands in the market and buying it directly from the brand is very economical." @soychalbed
A place where I always laugh

✨"Café Real is the perfect coffee shop to invite friends to when they come to visit. It has the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed conversation. It's also the coffee shop that makes the best cappuccino in the entire province.
And not only that, but Raúl, the bartender, knows how almost all of his regular customers like their coffee." @abelarte
Faces in the cafe to laugh

✨"For this occasion, I'm sharing a trip I was able to enjoy thanks to @lizandra and her daughter Lía when we went to the El balcón de los frutas café.
The first thing that made us laugh was the name of the café itself. Although the place does have balconies, you can't find any fruit there. You see, linguistic paradoxes." @roswelborges
THE COFFEE SHOP PROMPT - WEEK 131: «DS 33 TÉ Y CAFÉ».

✨"I finally had the opportunity to visit it, since I was not going to pause this plan any longer. I went in the afternoon, with inclement heat, but I was thinking of having a coffee, not a refreshing drink. Anyway, the place had a very pleasant atmosphere, the cold inside comforted me quickly, and I could enjoy its facilities... beforehand, I say that I loved the decoration, it is very pop, it reminds me of my notebooks from the 80s." @annafenix
A new Sunrise in my coffee cup

✨"I went out of my community, and I had the option to go to a supermarket that fascinated me. Without a doubt, this one made the difference compared to many others. I found a simple and different detail just when I arrived and went through the door, I was greeted with a small portion of coffee to taste and consume on my palate. Can you imagine this walking between aisles, delighting us with the taste of coffee?" @sidalim88
A Friday Break at a Charming Coffee Truck

✨"I spent some time walking around the Capitol grounds, and when I grew tired, I was about to walk to the main part of the city to find a coffee shop. However, I noticed a coffee truck nearby and was curious to see what it offered." @hopefulsoul
I present to you Cafe Alvarigua

✨"At first, I hesitated to take the package, but the confidence with which the girl assured me it was a rich coffee made me give it a vote of confidence, and I decided to try a 200g package. It's a gourmet coffee, whose packaging with light colours ended up catching my attention, made in my country, Venezuela, and since I know we have excellent coffee beans and that lately many companies have bet on our coffee, I decided to try it and took it home." @brujita18
