THERE are more to cafes than please the human palate. Cafes are more than just the taste of coffee sipped in an international chain, a local venture with more than one branches or a bold venture quaintly standing in the middle of nowhere.
Aroma and taste of coffee depend on the taste of the owner, demand of customers or copied from other tastes and named differently.
Coffee blends have the same surnames. Espresso, americano, latte cappuccino, purely brewed or ordinary coffee dashed with powered cream here and there.
Prices can range from true-to-form dirt cheap to so-called high end where taste is secondary in making the sipper feel in.
Some legit tourists visit local cafes to check which sells the best tasting and have their way of telling that others are impostors. They feel robbed by the latter and feel compensated by the former.
Cafe culture is brewing here and there. Best remembered is our cafe experiences at the sidewalks of Western European countries in the mid-‘90s where culture showcased the civilization of cafe was way, way in any way.
Want to relax, meet up with friends and family, discuss politics, appreciate art, experience unique hot and cold coffee flavors, ponder about your future or relish beautiful memories?
Visit a cafe, have cups of different-flavored coffee and refuse to be unhappy!/PN
