Cafe Hawelka in Vienna Austria by @leaky20

✨ This author highlights a family-owned cafe established in 1939 by sharing some sweet treats and coffee from his table.

When I entered the cafe I immediately got a sense that the place hasn't changed much since it was first established nearly a century ago now. I mean that in a good way though. It was traditionally decorated with crimson red curtain, dark rich color schemes, old wood tables and chairs and wood accents all around. To me the atmosphere felt very warm and cozy and indeed very friendly.


Ethereal Elixer of Ebon Shadows by @wwwiebe

✨ Sharing a Halloween worthy cup, this author shows us how to make a fun coffee recipe.

Embark on a journey of flavors with the Ethereal Elixir of Ebon Shadows—a warm coffee sensation that combines the spicy undertones of Skeleton Brew's Sepia Toned Spice roast with the sweet and nutty notes of vanilla and hazelnut. Begin by placing the coarsely ground coffee into your coffee maker or French press.


Sweetening my day with a coffee with milk by @elromeo

✨ After hearing good reviews of a local coffee shop, this author shares his first visit with us.

Like everyone, I consider coffee as one of the most important beverages in my day, although recently I don't consume it regularly, due to personal situations. But on this day, I made an exception, because I really wanted to experience the warmth and calmness that runs through my body when I drink it.


Coffee and cream rolls by @davidpena21

✨ This author takes us along for a coffee break with his mother, featuring the advertised cream rolls that drew them in.

The place is the Monagas pastry shop and being there in that place is the best, since it allows you to have a different view, meet people, enjoy the background music and those coffee smells that are essential, plus the desire to try all the sweets and pastries that are there, as well as enjoy a different moment and give yourself a little treat.


I chose self-pampering and a coffee date with a friend on the ninety-ninth day before Christmas. All I want is a happy weekend. by @lhes

✨ With snapshots of a recent mall visit, this author shares her time spent with a friend, Christmas decorations, and of course, coffee!

It was a small Coffee shop with several tables and chairs outside for dine-in. The location was great as it was not near all food resto, not too far from the boutiques, but near the gym! With one chiller for pieces of bread and one for cakes, a counter for taking orders, and that's it.


It is what it is by @riz611

✨ This author talks about the popularity of chain shops in their area, before taking us along for a coffee with friends.

Pop-up and family-run cafes and restaurants aren't so common here, you may find 1 family-run restaurant from a wide list of 10 eateries. Alas, in the end even these handful of small businesses don't actually survive against the big fancy corp-run establishments.


Careful What you fall in Love with! #TCSP 30 by @simplifylife

✨ Offering perspective on the chain vs. local coffee house debate, this author shares the reasoning behind their choice.

So it is kinda difficult to choose one of the two. But I would have to say I prefer the chain shops over the family owned ones. And it all comes down to consistency. And no, I am not saying the family owned ones do not serve a consistent quality. The consistency I talk about is the "Consistency of availability." Let me explain.


A coffee in the city, Coffee Saly by @brujita18

✨ Visiting a new coffee shop in the center of her home city, this author shares what she liked about the space and service.

So as soon as I saw the advertisement of this place, I did not think much and I went in first to hydrate myself by asking for a mineral water and then a delicious coffee with milk, which was what I was craving, when I arrived I could see that the site had two environments, one where people come to ask for their coffee and take it relaxed on the first floor and a second level...


Part 2, Cafe Visiting: Don Machiattos by @melancholiaa

✨ Seeking a beverage to power through schoolwork, this author show us some highlights from a grab and go chain.

It is after my Physical Education class so I decided to grab a coffee before I go home, since I have a lot of deadlines piled up on my plate, and I have to finish it already. Because of the number of things I have to accomplish and submit, I need caffeine to keep me up at night and help me get rid of the sleepy side of me.


The summer is already gone, but the weather feels perfect for a cup of cold brew. Have you tried adding salt to your coffee? by @mdosev

✨ After some thoughts on the changing seasons, this author shares his newfound trick to brewing espresso, as well as his cold brew method!

The coffee is ground and now here is a little trick that I am currently experimenting with… when I prepare my cup for brewing in it, I put some grains of salt inside.

But why salt? People usually put sugar in their coffee?
