Between coffee and literature

✨"The last days of the year are always a time to reflect on what we lived and the sensations we experienced in the previous months; but above all, the right time to establish a new starting point and draw the goals for which we will fight in our new return to the sun. And looking for a cosy place to sit down and write about what I want 2024 to be like for me, I found the literary café Marqués de Arco, located on Mercaderes Street, in the heart of Old Havana." @indipnash91

Coffee with Scones and Cream

✨"I only have access to Devon cream at the grocery store so I guess I will do it the way that it was meant to be done and continue to apply the cream first." @leaky20

Light Coffee, Coffee Mocha by Tomoro Coffee

✨"Tomoro Coffee, yes I did not typo, it is not Tomorow Coffee but Tomoro Coffee. I think the founder named it by that word.

It is my first time choosing a menu in Tomoro Coffee so I do not know which menu I have to order. Due I do not feel like drinking strong coffee like cappuccino or espresso, I ordered a large Caffe mocha." @viviehardika

Coffee at the Barley Mow

✨"I can't say the coffee was the best I'd had but the ambience was very good and the staff were very friendly. It was very warm as well. It was just perfect after a walk on yet another cold rainy day. I might even try the food next time as they have a range of fresh, homemade food from sandwiches and jacket potatoes to a full main menu. It was perfect to know the pub is on the up again." @ellenripley

Best coffee memories of the past year

✨"It all started in January of last year and I went out very little, where I only drank the coffee that my mom made here at home, which was very tasty and that way I could enjoy. The months continued and I was a little busy and didn't have time for anything, all because of my studies, however, every time I could I would go for that coffee." @davidpena21

An Apple Eats: I Stopped Drinking Coffee For A Couple Of Years

✨"I decided I'll go back to drinking coffee but I'll steer clear of instant coffee. I slowly started with a decaf coffee drip. Eventually, I would love to make my coffee from coffee beans. However, when I search for espresso machines, the price has discouraged me as I don't think I am really into coffee. " @appleeatingapple

COFFEE, blessed beverage that fills us with ENERGY at all times!

✨"I was surprised to see a coffee at Mac McDonald's, it is called McCafé, the place is very cosy, very clean and the girl who worked there served us very well.

I commented that I did not know that they sold coffee in those places and my daughter told me that not all McDonald's has McCafé, but that it was more than 15 years old, I loved it, and they should implement it in all Mac Donald." @tibilopez

Baguettes a classy coffee

✨"This time we went to Baguettes here in Valencia - Carabobo. We ordered a latte, but I liked not only the attention of the staff but the details, presentation and taste." @crisch23

My last visit to a coffee shop for this year

✨"I wanted to go to Amareto with the heart shape of the coffee beans because it is a logo that highlights its history, traditions and love for coffee; and how not to love it.

This is the best seal that represents this coffee shop, the coffee seed in the shape of a heart for coffee lovers like me. Amarillo is yellow and its name is Portuguese because its owner is from the country of Brazil." @wendyth16

At the best coffee shop in Cumaná, Mundo Café

✨"I had no knowledge that here, in the state of Sucre, in Venezuela, coffee was manufactured and marketed in the city. I was used to seeing it in Caripe, Monagas state, so this was new to me where I live. When I started working in an office, a custom was to drink coffee, for which I was very happy, but I never asked what kind it was, I just enjoyed it and that was it, until I was told that it was Mundo Café." @lucianav
