Coffee and Mince Pies for Christmas

✨"By the time we got to the Hassop Cafe, it was tea time. The cafe used to be an old railway station. There's an outdoor seating area, but as it was dark and cold, nobody was braving it.
In the cafe, there's also a gift shop. I didn't look around as I've finally bought all my Christmas presents.
We had a latte, a tea and a black americano with mince pies. The pies are traditionally served at Christmas." @ellenripley

Those places to have coffee, where we always want to return

✨"A place with a space for photographs, its decoration is pleasant, ideal to enjoy the coffee and the snacks alone accompanied. I appreciate that in a place." @chacald.dcymt

Enjoying a delicious Frapuccino

✨"This cafeteria offers many rich desserts and types of bread to accompany the coffee, plus other drinks, each time of the year decorates according to its theme, so this Christmas their decorations are incredible, plus they are on their anniversary #4, since they opened I have always visited them." @wendyth16

Charlotte Sweet & Coffee, a special coffee with my mom to show how much I love her.

✨"A cup of coffee with my mom, is the best, even more so when she came to visit us here in Valencia, that makes me happy, so one way to repay her for the love and support she has given us throughout life, is to indulge the gastronomic whims of both." @crisch23

Hive-style coffee

✨"I invite you to enjoy this elaboration of a rich black coffee, which completely melted me, it has an indescribable aroma, it was given to me with much love and when I went to prepare it, my mind flew saying let's share this incredible coffee with my coffee friends." @milik80

Trying gourmet caramel flavored coffee

✨"A delicious gourmet coffee that they gave me a few days ago at the office, it is imported, the packaging is very pretty and it has a caramel flavour.

I have prepared it black to have a cup very early in the morning and then with milk to have breakfast with my family, I tell you that this is truly divine and the aroma it leaves in the kitchen is indescribable." @mayraro05

Indulging in some Coffee, Snacks and Dessert!

✨"Indulge is one of the few places where the desserts and snacks take the center stage over their coffee and it's those that we went there for and not just the coffee. The coffee was a bonus! Damn, you don't hear me say that often do you!" @simplifylife

A Festive Cup of Coffee

✨"The other day the gang and I were out hunting again. Yet, the main plan was to get together and engage in a bit of chit-chat and get some coffee and food together. We were just trying to put this cool Season of winter to good use. There's no point in staying indoors when the weather is so pleasant." @riz611

A Coffee With A Taste Of Christmas/ Un Café Con Sabor A Navidad

✨"A coffee will always be a good reason to smile, remember, dream, plan, work and many beautiful emotions and when it tastes like Christmas is an unforgettable coffee, full of emotions and lots of love, so while I have life, I will continue to enjoy my coffee very warm and for all of you Merry Christmas." @yelimarin

Homemade Mocca

✨"Whenever December arrives or when by some miracle it rains on the island and the temperature drops a little, the desire for a warm drink appears, and today it occurred to me that a Mocca would be a great option, and although I must say that it is not one of my favorites, everyone at home loves it, so I wanted to spoil them and prepare it for breakfast, since it is quite simple." @rlathulerie
