A Quiet Moment With Coffee
I've always believed that everyone has their own unique rituals to bring them to a moment of calm. Some drink coffee, some do yoga, and many others.
For me, drinking coffee can bring me to a moment of calm. It can be a way for me and my mind to take a break from the busy world.
Of course, I think we all need a moment to pause. Pausing means not being disturbed by anything or anyone. I believe that if we don't pause, we will become exhausted. This will lead to stress burnout, and ultimately lead to illnesses that slowly make us mentally and physically ill.
So, on this occasion for coffee, I stopped for a moment at a classic-style coffee shop. I stopped at this particular coffee shop because I noticed it looked deserted. It was quiet because it was a weekday, and it was still office hours. So it seemed like people weren't there yet.
This coffee shop isn't large. It's called KUWALA. We can see that everything is minimalist, all white and brown. It looked calming to me.
I chose to sit in the corner of the room with a large window so I could look out at the street. I like moments of contemplation while looking out at the street.
I ordered an iced brown sugar coffee with the recently viral kunafa brownie.
I sipped my iced coffee. It was surprisingly delicious. The coffee was strong and sweet, not too sweet because I ordered less sugar. But it complemented the coffee perfectly.
The coffee shop prompt this week caught my attention. It was about moments of calm while drinking coffee.
Lately, I've been focusing on gardening and building my YouTube channel. From moments like this, I feel like the world is a bridge for me to think about my future.
I discovered what I was meant to do, like I'd found my calling. As I mentioned, being a writer wasn't enough. Now, I also share my gardening, slow living through gardening. I want to encourage people that a peaceful life is possible even if we don't have much money. One way is by utilizing land for gardening, we can create a bridge to a world of peace.
I also shared that gardening allows us to enjoy the moment of drinking coffee or tea in a corner of the garden, which we create according to our desires.
I always wonder if what I've done so far has been beneficial to those around me. Every day I ask myself what I can do to contribute to those around me. I know I can't do much yet. But I now realize that what I can do to the best of my ability can also be beneficial.
I hope that one day, what I consider my calling in life, will be beneficial to others. It may not be visible in a day or two, but like a tree that will bring benefits, it's not planted in a day or two; it requires many days and dedication.
So, never be discouraged if what you do now seems or feels small. You never know how beneficial it will be. Keep doing what you can, because even the smallest thing can benefit others. Like a seemingly ordinary herb among the weeds, but its medicinal effects are incredibly beneficial. That's how our lives are in this world: we may seem insignificant among others who seem to have great benefits. But I've always believed that we were each created for our own purpose. Never lose heart, my friends, and don't forget to drink coffee or tea to ward off your worries.
Greetings, my beautiful friend, I agree with your opinion. For me, coffee is my escape to a moment with myself, a moment of relaxation and de-stressing. The place is super beautiful and delicate, and if we talk about the coffee and the brownie, super appetizing. I hope you always enjoy these moments. A hug and blessings.
I hope you also have good moment with coffee ❤️
Hey there!

Hey Anggrek!
This is so lovely! Your post looks like sunshine, just what I need on a cold wintery day here in the UK. The decor and colours emit happiness. That was a great place for a coffee, and as you've said, a moment for a pause.😍
Greetings, my friend. Taking breaks these days is so important; it allows us to clear our minds and recharge. This leads us to do something different, and visiting that coffee shop was a great choice. It's a work of art, from its design and decorations to the delicious coffee you chose. These kinds of things motivate us all to take breaks so we can keep moving forward in life.
I had an acquaintance who suffered a stroke. Her husband said she would be in a nursing home for the rest of her life. Helpless--hopeless, right? Nope.
She did poetry readings in the nursing home, which is what she used to do when she was well. She cheered everyone.
I like the coffee shop, but as I looked at the pictures I thought, "Those tables are too close together." Then you showed us your cozy nook by the window. That's the table I would choose, also :)
Such beautiful and true words. Each of us is special and carries a unique gift. Thank you for this, @anggreklestari my friend.
Que bueno que lo difrutastes. Un rato de para distraerte de lo rutinario.
oohh that does look delicious, although they need more plants in that coffee shop. lol the cakes look delicious though. I fluctuate between tea and coffee. coffee is sometimes just what you need and sometimes a super fragrant herbal (non fruit) tea is just what is needed. I don't like fruit tea as i alwasys expect it to taste sweet and dont like a fruit tea that is not... I know... its a bit odd.
have a great day

It’s always important to take a break and appreciate the little things that make us happy ,Thanks for sharing this with us .
Enjoy your meal, chef, the dessert looks especially delicious. Künefe desserts seem to be very popular these days. I had some the other day and shared it on Hive, and now I'm craving it again 😂
I think every moment with coffee is better, especially in places like this one you visited (which looks really cool).
You have good taste for finding places like this, @anggreklestari.
Lovely atmosphere and even better that you caught the quieter time. I am guessing the kunafa cake is just the viral dubai cake, right? Kunafa, cheese, and vermecelli and a bread and sweet base?
It's always nice to share a coffee while doing something you enjoy. In your case, it's gardening, and it's true that we all need to discover, if we don't already know, what makes us happy and gives us a sense of well-being. Thank you for sharing this with us. Best regards!
One of the things that really calms me down when I’m extremely stressed is listening to my favorite music—it relaxes me so quickly. I wish I were like you, a coffee lover. I actually love the aroma of coffee, that moment when you get a good whiff of it because it’s so relaxing. But the problem is, it takes me two days to get sleep if I drink coffee, so I just choose water or tea instead.
Such a wonderful day in a beautiful coffee shop with a perfect coffee blend!
