The Coffee Shop Prompt Week 73: ...where I can watch life go by.

✨"There are few things that can compare to the tranquility of having a good cup of coffee, without rushing. Sometimes I like to go alone, especially when I have things to plan or think about. It is on these occasions when I look for a place where I can observe what is going on around me, feel the people and the life that is going on at that moment." @sandracabrera

WITH MILK, GUAYOYO OR BROWN... WHAT IS THE RIGHT TIME?

✨"When I go out, I never ask for black coffee, because it is my opportunity to enjoy all the other presentations of a coffee that I do not know how to prepare, or that in a cafetín they prepare better than me, and here variety reigns." @annafenix

The best time to drink coffee

✨"Before sunset I drink some more coffee. As you'll notice, I like to drink it outdoors. A lot of the ideas I have come when I do; at some point, the artist's task depends on something to inspire him. For me, coffee is like a muse. Besides energy and creativity, drinking coffee makes me feel alive." @soldierofdreams

Homemade coffe is always the best! (Eng-Esp)

✨"This drink is very well known in Cuba, because to make it it is only necessary to mix a cup of coffee in a shot of rum. As a result, there is the bitter taste of coffee and that hot feeling that alcohol provides. I used a little white rum, which was the one I had at home." @claudiocruz

A New Brand of Coffee

✨"Taking coffee inspires me as I sit on my chair or just looking through the window and while taking the first sip and wandering around in my mind, savouring the scent, new and fresh ideas start running down through my brain to my mind and I find myself jotting them down — such is the work and power of a hot coffee." @princessbusayo

OVENMUNI CAFE: SPECIALIST PASTRY AND DELICIOUS AMERICANO WITH DARK ROAST

✨" It was roasted with dark roast level, so I could immediately feel the pait of coffee on my tongue, which was very good. After walking for five kilometres, I suddenly felt energised again after drinking the iced amerikano. If you remember, I really prefer the taste of coffee roasted with dark roast or extra dark roast level." @titisnariyah

An escape "Ana Lucía- Bakery & Coffee Bar" ENG-ESP. ✨

✨"Already when you enter you can appreciate the aroma of coffee, besides the amount of desserts that you can see when you enter, many warm colors that calm the nerves, I regret to mention that I could not photograph that area because I was distracted, but then I realized that I wanted to tell my experience here and I took the time to take some pictures of the place, only of the top part which was the second floor." @ladylein

A delicious coffee with morning rain/Un rico café con lluvia mañanera. ENG-ESP

✨"Today is a wonderful day, full of blessings, asking for more from life is falling into complaints. Thank you universe for this beautiful moment with my coffee, I have enjoyed today's coffee very much since very early I only hear the rain through my window on a cloudy and cool morning that snuggles us." @crisvif11

People who love life. A real and personal story about my relationship with coffee.

✨"In this photo I am with José Véliz, botanist, coffee lover, and above all, friend. How much time have I not spent with Cheo, listening with rapt attention to his knowledge of tree roots! How much time have I not spent savoring his coffee and struggling to understand his explanation of leaf systems? I maintain that Cheo is a botanical poet who loves coffee and has one of the most expansive smiles I know." @adncabrera

Enjoying a good mocha

✨"I had to go back down to the second floor of the C.C Traki Cumana, which is where I was, and go to Dulce Tentación, a mini coffee shop that I have already shown you before. And the truth I must say that it is a charming coffee shop, small, but quite comfortable, it is quiet despite being in the middle of one of the main corridors." @lucianav
