In Love with 2 USD Coffee

✨"Next day, because it was still early in the morning and even the mall had not opened yet because it was still before 9 am, we queued up in the cafe's side gate in order to get into the cafe. The waiter made us queue up there. Then he called our name one by one, which mean we could find a table for us to eat. Lucky for us, we still could come in and didn't have to eat outdoor that day (a bright hot sunny day) plus we were so lucky that we could enter the cafe without anymore waiting." @devyleona

Alsultan Cafe

✨"Not to judge anyone else, but in my opinion drinking the milk of another animal is very weird. Alongside the hormones used to keep cows lactating and the cruelty of such a practice, I absolutely cannot stand drinking it. Due to this, I've switched to drinking my coffee black 100% of the time." @grindan

☕ Coffee and Ice Cream Combination ☕ [Eng/Esp]

✨"After having prepared and strained our black coffee; we simply let it cool down very well, practically so that it becomes iced, hehehehe. Once it is very cold, we uncover our ice cream and add it little by little to the coffee. Observe that the ice cream practically floats in the coffee." @omarcitorojas

Qawali Night Cafe, A Place for Signing And Enjoying Tea Together

✨"Tea is a romantic drink, but its romance gets first peak when there is music. Qawali is a traditional music and it's each verse is enough to land in your heart. In the end, you lose control of your mind. Believe me, I have taken the complete cup of tea within 2 hours. May each sip of tea have one stanza. It's each word was peaceful and it refreshed my mind. I washed out the negative thoughts here." @aslamrer

A coffee class

✨"In my city, for several years, it has become fashionable to hold talks and mini-workshops in coffee shops that are willing to give up their space for a certain number of hours. I was looking for a small and cozy place to give a micro-workshop to a group that I have formed and that are supporting me as participants in my biodance classes and that I need to give them to continue advancing in my training in this area." @damarysvibra

Yaya's a Dream Place (En/ Es)

✨"Upon entering the place, which was outdoors, surrounded by a beautiful garden and even a fountain. Surrounding it, beautiful white awnings were arranged with some nice iron outdoor chairs. We ordered our coffees at the small Yaya's kiosk, where we ordered our coffees." @brujita18

Reunion and coffee in Havanna

✨"The place is very cozy, a very comfortable space with first-class service. My husband and I ordered a cortado coffee and it was served in very nice cups, accompanied by a cookie. My daughter ordered a natural red fruit juice and we started talking." @isauris

Avi Chocolate: A Coffee with a Bitter Touch of Rum - Barquisimeto [En-Es]

✨"The Avi Chocolate Bar really catches the eye, everything there has a modern aesthetic. The golden color, together with the way the liquor is arranged, is very striking. It was a very nice view from the table where we sat." @neruel

A good Colombian coffee at Juan Valdez in the Zona T in Bogota [ENG// ESP]

✨"The aroma of freshly ground coffee almost carried us to the place from the moment we walked through the door. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a good book or just people-watching." @kathajimenezr

Coffee at the Beach Hut, Dorset, UK

✨"I haven't had instant coffee for a while, but my friend rummaged through the cupboards and pulled out a jar of Marks and Spencer's Italian finest instant coffee! 😁 Even though I prefer coffee pods, I'm not a snob when it comes to coffee and it would still hit the spot. My friend opted for a cup of green tea which I thought looked like weasel p*ss!" @ellenripley
