24 hours well lived, two full days filled with love and non-stop conversations about life, the past, the present, and even the future.

My genie has told me all his stories, his unusual travels on earth and on other planets, of wishes, granted and how each master knew or did not know how to take advantage of his requests, of how greed can corrupt souls, and how faith overcomes all.

It was only a few minutes before the end of our adventure and he said to me:

Genie:

If you had all the money in the world to invest in one big business, what would it be and why?

Yen:
It would be a Coffee Shop! It would be called The Perfect Café.

Genie: That's great! And where would it be located?

Yen:

It would be located in the heart of the city of Caracas, it is so chaotic, it is a concrete jungle where there is so much traffic, where people do not walk, they run because the daily stress leads most people to act like that, so imagine that a person enters my establishment for a coffee and you stay for hours because you breathe peace and tranquility.

The beautiful capital of my country Venezuela.

Genie: How would you design and decorate it?

Yen:

My father left me a lot of books as an inheritance, there are at least 100, there is a great variety of science fiction, novels by renowned authors, drama, suspense, humor... there are also books of various studies, dictionaries, and short stories, then I would have rooms full of books and tables with comfortable chairs for everyone to enjoy a good coffee and good music, I also have records of good music, from the 70s!

It would have nice, soft colors, very good lighting, the aromas of sweet and savory options baking in a visible place that everyone can appreciate, wonderful graffiti or murals, a beautiful view of the Avila, and a great balcony where macaws perch, flowering plants...

Genie: What would be the concept?

Yen: I wouldn't know how to describe it exactly, it would be somewhere between vintage and modern, it is as if you were entering a time capsule, it will have an excellent wifi connection and the best baristas will attend you, you can order from a Macchiato coffee to a Coffee Bombón...

Don't tell me you don't know what a Coffee Bombón is! It's divine! It has condensed milk at the bottom, then in the middle, you add a coffee, it can be decaffeinated or of your preference and finally you put a layer of milk foam if you like you can add a touch of cinnamon... You must try it!

Oh, and the best part, you will have a delivery service as well, for offices, social or corporate events.😊

What would it be good for?

Yen: To free yourself from stress, to clear your mind, to cultivate knowledge, to make new friends, to enjoy a good coffee alone or in good company, and when it's your turn to go out because you are going back home you make it happy.

Genie: How would it be marketed?

Yen: First through all the social networks that are trending, second would be the Garcia message, that is, what we call the word of mouth message, the best advertising you can have are the recommendations of our customers, you know what draws a lot of attention? Prizes! For bringing a friend you get free candy or drink at a specific time, for example.

Genius: What would be the clientele?

Yen: Everyone who loves coffee is welcome, from students to bohemians, from a bank manager to the man who sells newspapers at the kiosk.

How would it differ from other venues?

Yen: There is strong competition in the area, I have visited them and each one stands out for its decoration and attention, really excellent I cannot deny it, but none of them offers rooms with a large library with books to choose from, which, from the sense of intimacy, it is uncomfortable for a person who wants to enjoy a good book not to have an exclusive place in silence because the other users in their conversations distract him or she must share the table. We would have exclusive areas for everyone, the reading room, and the music room.

When I finished telling him about my dream he commented:

It is incredible that I had to change from a lamp to a magic coffee pot in order to meet you, I have had this delicacy in Turkey, Ethiopia, and Brazil... but I didn't think I would meet you in Panama, you are definitely my perfect coffee.😘😍❤️

I have greatly enjoyed dreaming a little bit about my own coffee shop, it is a feasible dream because there is nothing that can't be done! I invite this initiative to write your perfect coffee to @fragozar01 and @jomarbym, for more information click here
