What do I like in a coffee shop?

Greetings @cinnccf friends.

This week's questions in 64 of #TheCoffeeShopPrompt, I found very striking, What is the first thing you notice when you enter a coffee shop? Do any of these observations determine whether you dine or turn around and leave? Here are my thoughts on the subject.

Every day I recognize myself as more visual, hence I like beautiful places, that have details that catch my attention, that awaken my curiosity and that I can stop and enjoy them, in other words, when I arrive at a cafeteria, I enjoy the atmosphere created, the details of its decoration and the general harmony of the whole.

From there my other senses open up, delighting in the diverse aromas that float in the atmosphere: That rich, freshly "brewed" coffee or that soft smell of sweets and exquisite spices, followed by sounds that are backgrounds and not those that become noises, that don't let you speak.

But none of this I observe consciously, it is not that I arrive at a place measuring and observing every part, no, it is rather that the absence of some of these elements I feel immediately producing displeasure and I really do not encourage me to take a coffee there.

Two days ago, I went to the supermarket with my husband. In my city, many of these food chains after the food shortage crisis of 2016 and the pandemic took back their spaces and modernized the coffee shop-restaurant areas. These spaces are thought in the practical, aesthetically tend to a decoration without details and give me an unpleasant feeling that you have to stop quickly because there are people waiting.

That is why I rarely have a coffee there and if I crave something to eat, I order it to take away and enjoy it at home, because the place is not cozy, it lacks that touch of intimacy that I value very much when I go to a coffee shop, for example, with my friends.

So, apart from indulging my senses, when choosing a coffee shop I also like it to be cozy, a friendly place that invites relaxation, relaxed conversation and a good time.

However, on Friday when we arrived at the supermarket we chose, we were greeted by a girl promoting a new coffee, La Cima, of course I did not miss the opportunity to try it and with it, I went to one of the tables of the coffee to take it quietly, because for the time there were almost no people and I took it in peace. The truth is that it was tasty, possibly next time I will buy a packet.

And as a curious fact, we met one of my friends and her husband, talking in the corridors we agreed that when we finished shopping we would meet in the coffee shop area to share a few bars.

So we did and the four of us talked for a while having a great time, then I started to think that the spaces are what you want, that many times it does not matter the place, but with whom you are sharing your moment.
