Unique egg coffee at an interesting book cafe in Da Lat by @crazy-bee

I live in the Central Highlands, a region consisting of mountainous provinces that grow a large number of coffee and pepper trees in the country. The terrain and climate are two distinct seasons with mainly red basalt soil, and brown soil suitable for coffee. Therefore, this highland also has a variety of coffees and rich flavors. In addition, I still have criteria for beautiful, unique and highlight cafes.

Sampling some Canadian Coffee Brands by @leaky20

I have a Starbucks very close to my work and for a while when we moved and had our things still packed I was going there everyday to get my coffee fix. Buying coffee at a cafe in Canada is much more expensive than buying it from the grocery store and making it yourself at home and what I learned over that week of buying out was also, that it just isn't as good tasting as making it at home yourself. I found it to be too watered down and almost tasteless at times. I found that I had to buy darker and darker roasts just to get some more flavor.

A timely gift by @lisrl26

My family has a tradition and it is... "Never arrive at a home empty handed" and we have learned and put it into practice. It is not about the monetary value, but about the good gesture, the detail.

My first time at the famous Juan Valdez coffeehouse chain... Colombian coffee by @dinaaczib

A couple of days ago we went to a nearby shopping mall to do some shopping and after walking a lot we decided to take a break, we always do it in one of the many coffee shops that are in the place, but I must say that I usually leave disappointed, it seems that drinking coffee in shopping malls is not the best idea; however, this time I decided to try the Colombian coffee of the famous Juan Valdez chain.

Two Coffees Are Better Than One by @gaboamc2393

Ah, coffee... I'm not a coffee expert, but I usually consume it on several occasions and only during the day, because if I drink it too late, say after 6 pm, I won't sleep that night.
It has happened to me on more than one occasion, so I only drink it in the daytime.
Just recently I had the opportunity to share with a friend who invited me to her house. We hadn't seen each other or talked for a long time and she told me to bring a sweet to share.

This cannot be more Specialty! (The miracles of Niki + some coffee with extraordinary flavors) by @mdosev

Alongside with it you can see a velvet heart, which appeared on the Valentines’ day for the first time, but bow it is a permanent product in their shelves. We decided to try both of the desserts, although they were about $5 each. This is a bit expensive, but having in mind how much effort Niki gives when making them, it is in my opinion a reasonable price. After all you always have the Lemon cakes and various chocolate biscuits if you want to have something cheaper and yet delicious.

Roaming For Roasts : Let's Get To Know O'Lieng Coffee by @macchiata

What comes to mind when you first hear the word “Olieng?”
To me, that word sounds like Chinese and instead of coffee, I first thought it was some type of tea. But in Indochina, Oleing or O’lieng is actually a type of coffee. My conviction wasn’t entirely wrong that the word Oliang actually originates from China and is a type of coffee that is brewed with various spices. It sounds like a concoction rather than a coffee but in Thailand and Laos, they have their own ways of serving Olieng Coffee. To me, this is a must-try coffee in Thailand or even Laos as I can say they are unique to that region and is comparable to charcoal coffee in Java or Phin coffee from Vietnam.

A day should start with a cup of coffee. by @lhes

It seems it will be a long day, so I needed my energy drink! I put water in the electric kettle and prepare my coffee! You read it right! It was coffee! I tried several times to stop, but then again, I still found myself in the old routine. I may succeed and not have a cup for a week or two; however, seemed my body was programmed sometimes 🤣. Then, I just find myself sitting on the table with a cup of coffee in my hands! Could anyone relate?

Charlotte Sweet & Coffee, Naguanagua by @crisch23

It is one of my favorite places and I still had to know this branch, located in Naguanaguna, very close to the farm and the one in Maracay but to know that one for sure it will take some time, because there are enough activities that I have had in Hive, for some time.
