This is the last week of @lapanetteria. We have been going there since the start of our dating time, but I have been going there for a long time now. It seems weird that a spot located in such a mall and with so much traffic is closing. But I do not know how the whole deal with the dollar is affecting business. These are tough times for any kind of place and even for entrepreneurs.
The worst part of losing a coffee is place is that they had our order tailored. That is how much we have gone there and asked for the cups of black coffee. This week we have been there already twice. Since they are closing on Sunday, we are going to be there today as well. It is a sort of last hurrah! for the good times and good coffee.
The photos here are from Wednesday. We went again there after running some errands. I went with @octocel to buy some things that will be used for her new desk in her home office. So I was supervising her purchase of lacquer, ink and other things. I also took the chance to buy some extra clamps for the workshop. Although, this time I got some C clamps instead of the usual F clamps. This is a thing of shapes.
We went back to the mall and also got to buy some other things. She got some pillows and we both bought some notebooks for when they are needed. Also, taking into consideration they are quite cheap at the moment. You know never waste a sale. Carrying the pillows was tough. They take too much space.
Actually, we went for the coffee and sweet before buying the pillows. And that was a good idea. The bakery was cramped and carrying the pillows with us would have been too much for the space to handle. It is also quite difficult to move around with so much stuff. Let alone be at a table drinking coffee and moving some stuff to eat.
It was during the drinking of coffee that we got the news about the closing of the bakery. It is going to be replaced with something else. It is a shame since the place has the best location and the best coffee in relation with its price. Oh, well, all things come to an end, but this series will not end without giving this coffee its well-earned last hurrah!
I will miss having my order made for me with the same care I would take to make coffee for myself at home. There is only a handful of places that will do that for you. This was one. And it will not be around after this week. That is a different kind of grief.
How does one come back from this? I have a few days to figure it out.
