Chillin like a Villain with a spot of Cinnamon, in my coffee.... by @captainquack22

... But is it sweet like a piece of Toffee. Well, it is. Chocolate Cherry coming at you like thunder.
If I stumble or once or twice it would be a blunder.
But we all stumble occasionally, along the path of obstacles, while we keep searching for our plunder.
Digging through the soil, in search of logical solutions like a plumber.
If we had all the answers, there can be no mysteries and we would happen to know all the lotto numbers.

Roaming For Roasts: The Biggest Starbucks in Thailand Starbucks Reserve Chao Phraya Riverfront by @macchiata

As you can see above and in the first picture, that is the reserve bar where they serve alcoholic coffee beverages and it has the R logo which indicates that the place is the Starbucks reserve. Starbucks, not only do they sell the regular Starbucks menu but also sells merchandise that is uniquely Thai.

An off-the-beaten-path coffee shop experience by @sofiaquino98

We began to drink and eat, around a very pleasant conversation. My cup of coffee was running out and then came the surprise, the unexpected: a small message printed on the porcelain cup. Not just any message, but a message that perfectly fit what I was living at that moment: "Take a Break"

A Beautiful Cup of HIVE! ☕ by @marcelys1

Earlier this month I visited an establishment called BodegonQQ to meet with a group of Hivers from my city Cumaná-Venezuela 🇻🇪, it turns out that this establishment has joined the Crypto adoption and not only accepts HBD as part of payment but also through their uniforms, cups, glasses and stickers promote our Blockchain HIVE, as they have stamped the logo of the platform and so it is seen by all customers who visit them. 🤩

Exploring A New Coffee Shop In Town On My Day Offby @bighungrypanda

What I love most about this place is that they are Chennai's first Single Origin Artisanal Coffee Bar and they source coffee from 25 different Farms from across the globe and not just India.
"Single Origin" is often used to describe coffee that has unique and distinctive flavour characteristics that are specific to the region where it was grown.

Coffee beans in unexpected place! by @chaodietas

I saw something different. It was a place that sold coffee. It is not usual here!
My husband and I approached it like a bee to pollen 🤣 to see what new we could find.
It was a small but well-organized booth. You could tell at a glance that these sellers were not locals as they seemed intimidated by our friendliness. Truth be told, everyone here in the forest knows each other because we are a small community, and friendliness and camaraderie are our stamp.

Coffee and the mountains and the sea by @itsostylish

Coffee with an eagle-eyed view over the soaring peaks of the Drakensberg is not a pleasure easily equalled. It felt very much as if we were sitting on clouds, floating over lush green fairylands; exceptionally memorable. A real plus for us was that the coffee bar was dog friendly and offered a tempting array of vegan fare. We couldn’t get enough of the roasted fruit kebabs, served with mint and coconut cream. Divine!

A little set of coffee stories by @mdosev

Buying this Syphon that looks like a chemistry class apparatus, and the first special coffee bag of beans was like heaven to me - a whole new experience full of interesting flavours and emotions. I’ll never forget the moment I bought this experimental (for me) gear and my coffee faith changed forever.

Valentine's Day Breakfast & Coffee In Napoli - Italy ☕ by @tanjakolader

Looking at the menu, I had a hard time deciding what to get, because I wanted to try almost everything on it. Each of us ordered a unique cappuccino: one with white chocolate and the other with (dark) cacao. When the drinks came, I was overjoyed in the presentation and it was evident the baristas take pride in what and how they serve their dark warm beverages.
