El Principito Coffee

It is wonderful to be able to see and enjoy magical places that I never thought could exist, and although my visit was unplanned and quick, I left there impregnated with the atmosphere of the story of the little prince, mentally repeating phrases that years ago I had read and forgotten, but they were present inside the cafe, in the trees and its surroundings. Phrases like: "the essential is invisible to the eye".

I happened to be on a tour of the city of Valencia, in the state of Carabobo, Venezuela accompanied by my brother, to visit some parks and zoos and suddenly the guide changed route and took the group to visit the thematic cafe The Little Prince, a space inspired by the novel or story of children's literature, which if you do not know what it is about explores themes of love, friendship, loneliness, loss offering deep reflections on the lives of adults and human nature.

I was already aware of this cafe through social networks and wanted to know about it, so I was very happy about the guide's surprise. The group had only a few minutes to get in and have something to eat at the café, and as the budget was tight, I could only offer my brother a coffee that was delicious, which I have already reviewed.

El principito, café inspirado en el mundo mágico de la literatura

Café el Principito

Es maravilloso poder ver y disfrutar de lugares mágicos que nunca pensante que podían existir, y aunque mi visita fue sin planificar y rápida salí de allí impregnada de la atmósfera del cuento del principito, repitiendo mentalmente frases que hace años había leído y olvidado, pero estaban presente dentro del café, en los árboles y sus alrededores. Frases como: “lo esencial es invisible para los ojos”.

Resulta que encontraba en un tour por la ciudad de Valencia, en el estado Carabobo, Venezuela acompañada de mi hermano, para conocer algunos parques y zoológicos y de repente la guía cambió de ruta y llevó al grupo a conocer el café temático El Principito, un espacio inspirado en la novela o cuento de literatura infantil, que sí no sabes de qué trata explora temas sobre el amor, la amistad, la soledad, la pérdida ofreciendo reflexiones profundas sobre la vida de los adultos y la naturaleza humana.

Ya tenía conocimiento de este café por las redes sociales y deseaba conocerlo, por lo que me puso muy feliz la sorpresa del guía. El grupo tenía pocos minutos para entrar y tomar comer algo en el café, y como el presupuesto era ajustado, solo pude brindarle a mi hermano un café que estaba delicioso del cual hice una reseña.

Location

When I arrived I realized that it was built in a square, in front of an important avenue, it is the Humboldt Park and in the same area is the Museum of Culture, which also has a very nice and unique architecture. This is in the municipality of Valencia, Carabobo state, Venezuela.

Getting to know the exterior

Upon arrival my first impression was that it was a small space, it looks like a small cabin or a house, very cozy. I literally walked through all sides of the cafeteria, the first wall I saw is a side facing the street, I found it difficult to take pictures because they do not come out complete unless you are in the middle of the avenue and at that time it was impossible to take it, on that side is a large red book with gold letters, is the book in giant size its cover that says The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and next to it small images that appear inside the novel.

Ubicación

Al llegar me di cuenta de que estaba construido en una plaza, al frente de una avenida importante, se trata del parque Humboldt y en la misma área se encuentra El Museo de la cultura, que también presenta una arquitectura muy bonita y singular. Esto está en el municipio Valencia, estado Carabobo, Venezuela.

Conociendo el exterior

Al llegar mi primera impresión es que era un espacio pequeño, parece una pequeña cabaña o una casa, muy acogedora. Literalmente caminé por todos los lados de la cafetería, la primera pared que vi es un lado que da hacia la calle, me resultó difícil sacar las fotografías porque no salen completas a menos que esté en medio de la avenida y en ese momento era imposible sacarla, en ese lado está un libro grande color rojo de letras doradas, es el libro en tamaño gigante su portada que dice El principito, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry y al lado pequeñas imágenes que aparecen dentro de la novela.

Crossing there is an entrance with an arch of flowers and lights, which at night must look more beautiful, ideal for photos of couples, and crossing the arch you find the asteroid in a white brick wall, with a hole that is the asteroid where the little prince lived, with lamps that gave the impression of stars in the empty space, of course this wall has another message from the book, and people can take pictures sitting or lying inside the asteroid, a great idea of architecture that allows people to integrate and enjoy this illusion.

Cruzando hay una entrada con un arco de flores y luces, que de noche debe verse más hermoso, ideal para fotos de parejas, y al cruzar el arco te encuentras con el asteroide en una pared de ladrillos blancos, con un hueco que es el asteroide donde vivía el principito, con unas lámparas que daban la impresión de estrellas en el espacio vacío, por supuesto esta pared tiene otro mensaje del libro, y las personas se pueden sacar fotos sentadas o acostados dentro del asteroide, una idea genial de arquitectura que permite integrar a las personas y disfrutar de esta ilusión.

I continued and I found a huge tree, artificial, at this point I did not know where to look because everything called my attention, I looked at the tree, but I did not understand its purpose and I continued towards the square, and I saw a car outside as if it were an additional decoration to the cafeteria and it is an ice cream and candy shop, but I do not know if it moves from the place, it is very nice also I stayed a while watching and I had not yet entered the cafeteria.

20250118_162703.jpg

Seguí y me encontré un árbol enorme, artificial, a este punto no sabía por donde mirar porque todo me llamaba la atención, miré el árbol, pero no entendí su propósito y seguí hacia la plaza, y vi un carro afuera como si se tratara de un adorno adicional a la cafetería y es una heladería y dulcería, pero no sé si se mueve del lugar, es muy lindo también me quede un rato observando y todavía no había entrado a la cafetería.

I turned around and there was another side of the little cafe, with a golden prince on the ceiling and underneath was the sentence, "All great people have been children before, but few remember." 🥹 No doubt this place invites grown-ups and children to enjoy the moment, to feel like a child again. This view is impressive because there are large trees adorned with colored bulbs, I remember how the breeze moved the leaves, branches, and wind chimes sounded, that was an enveloping experience, in this area are the tables with modern style chairs, plastic material with pastel colors that do not take away the prominence of the cafeteria.

20250118_163143.jpg

Volteé y estaba otro lado del pequeño café, con un príncipe dorado en el techo y debajo estaba la frase: “Todas las personas grandes han sido niños antes, pero pocas lo recuerdan.” 🥹 Sin duda este lugar invita a grandes y niños a disfrutar del momento, a sentirse de nuevo como un niño. Esta vista es impresionante porque hay árboles grandes adornados con bombillos de colores, recuerdo como la brisa movía las hojas, las ramas, y sonaban campanas de viento, eso fue una experiencia envolvente, en esta área están las mesas con sillas de estilo moderno, de material plástico con colores pasteles que no le quitan protagonismo a la cafetería.

When I was very anxious to go on and enter, I ended up turning around and its entrance is simpler than the other sides of the structure, but it is still beautiful. When I opened the door I realized that it is not as small as it seems, there were many people, the tables inside were full and you could only order what you were going to consume and sit outside, which is not a bad idea either.

20250118_163227.jpg

Cuando ya tenía mucha ansiedad por seguir y entrar, termine en dar la vuelta y su entrada es más simple que las otras caras de la estructura, pero no deje de ser bonita. Al abrir la puerta me di cuenta de que no es tan pequeña como parece, había muchas personas, las mesas del interior estaban llenas y solo se podía pedir lo que se iba a consumir y sentarse afuera, que tampoco es mala idea.

Inside there were many things related to the theme, there is the rose that is an important character in the novel, but for your better appreciation I made a gifs. Inside the only thing that could be a negative point is the noise, there was a lot of noise because the TV was on, I think there was music I do not remember well, all the people were talking, and the coffee machines made their noise, among other things this is a factor that should be improved, for this reason I was more than happy to drink my coffee while observing nature.

Adentro había muchas cosas relacionadas con la temática, está la rosa que es un personaje importante en la novela, pero para su mejor apreciación les hice un gifs. De su interior lo único que pudiera ser un punto negativo es el ruido, había mucho ruido porque estaba encendido el televisor, creo que había música no lo recuerdo bien, todas las personas hablaban, y las máquinas de café hacían su ruido, entre otras cosas este en un factor que deberían mejorar, por esta razón estuve más que feliz de beber mi café observando la naturaleza.

And when I left I realized that in the green areas were sculptures of the little prince, with the fox, and the rose, everything is beautiful and magical, thanks to the architecture and design of the place. Before leaving I wanted to go to the bathroom but just out of curiosity, and I asked where it was and they told me that the bathrooms was the artificial tree 😄, but it was too late to enter because I had to ask for the key in the cafeteria and we were leaving, so I was left with curiosity and with the commitment to return one of these days, I would like to come at night to live this special experience.

Y al salir me di cuenta de que en las áreas verdes estaban esculturas del principito, con el zorro, y la rosa, todo es precioso y mágico, gracias a la arquitectura y el diseño del lugar. Antes de irme quise ir al baño pero solo por curiosidad, y pregunté donde quedaba y me dijeron que los baños era el árbol artificial 😄, pero ya era tarde para entrar porque debía pedir la llave en la cafetería y nos estábamos yendo, así que me quedé con la curiosidad y con el compromiso de regresar un día de estos, me gustaría venir de noche a vivir esta experiencia tan especial.

If you are in the center of Venezuela do not miss the opportunity to stop by this venture. This is my first time in a themed cafe and I hope that many more will come. Do you know themed cafes like this one?

Si estás en el centro de Venezuela no pierdas la oportunidad de pasar por este emprendimiento. Es mi primera vez en un café temático y esperó que vengan muchas más. ¿Conoces cafés temáticos como este?

It is a beautiful place, they do playful activities, I found out about it through their instagram page, and if that wasn't enough, there is also the museum of culture. It is a cultural recreation park, like to spend the whole day with the family. @doriangel 😉

Themed cafes are definitely amazing sites to experience. And your featured landmark simply doesn't disappoint. Not only does it cater to kids who love literature and beverages, but it also opens portals of imagination for adults, unleashing the inner child in them. It's the perfect environment to savor the best of the worlds of stories, fun with words, adventure, and of course, architecture. I'm glad you've discovered this extraordinary marvel! ☺️

Thanks for Elevating Architecture and Design with Hive!

Hello @storiesoferne 😉, very beautiful your comment, thank you, for me it was a pleasure to bring this wonder to the community.

I know there are other themed cafes in the same city, one of Harry Potter for example, but they are far from where I live, several hours away, I just hope to have the opportunity to meet them and bring them here.

Its target audience is the whole family, because it appeals to adults and children, everything was designed with care, they even included existing nature such as trees to make everything perfect.

Thank you very much for your appreciation. @archmoments
