Not everyone loves coffee, but if you do, it won't be hard to choose your favorite cafe. Mine is called the Banff, a sweet cozy place where I treat as my living room.
Saturday morning, sunny, the clock was pointing at 11:30am. After a busy week, I deserve some sleep-in. Hunger woke me up and my smart hubby was away, thought about what's for brekkie and the Banff was for sure my first choice.
I couldn't remember when was last time I sat in a cafe in the morning enjoying my meal and eavesdropping the conversations.
"Can I take the order?" a red hair waitress approached me.
" Sure. A long black and a French toast, with syrup on the top. That'a all." My phone only had 4% of battery, so I had nothing to entertain myself expect observing what's happening around me, which is another of my favorite things.
A lady in her early 70 near the window was talking to a young girl sitting opposite to her, guess she's her daughter; next to them, a mid-age guy was having his peaceful morning drinking a large latte and enjoying a full plate of egg on toast, plus reading the newspaper. That young girl went out and left her mom sitting by herself finishing her coffee.
" Must be something in today's news, you look quite concerned. " She smiled at that guy while she was talking to him. " Oh, sorry. Yes, it was something, but that's news, always too serious and negative, I didn't notice I was concerning about it though, haha." He replied, politely, then got back to his paper.
The music in the cafe was getting loud, I start having difficulty to hear how the conversation go, ironically. But, I was having fun watching two strangers talking to each other, and feeling at ease. It seems like she was telling her reason why she was in the coffee shop this morning, and something to do with her family; then she passed a piece of paper to him to read, looks like that paper is quite important. He read that letter and started discussing with her, he began telling her about his story.
I was pleased to see how friendly and unguarded people can be when there's nothing to be taken advantage of but relaxation.
The weather outside was still great, sunlight hit the glass, which lighted up the whole coffee house. My late morning breakfast was great, I just love the combination of bitter and sweet; however, what attracted me even more was that peaceful vibe of the place.
While so many things happen in every corner all around the world, I love my sunny morning, and I enjoy the peace.
