Hello, coffee lovers around the world!
I really had to rack my brain and scroll through my phone's photo gallery to remember this coffee shop I visited last year while in the province of Cienfuegos.
It's known as The Artists' Café. It's designed to be a space for artists from the province, regardless of their artistic discipline.
The place is incredibly pleasant. Its design is very interesting, incorporating elements related to the sea and art. For example, you can see ship's wheels, violins, guitars, and so on.
The coffee, which is the most important thing in a coffee shop, especially when we're artists looking for coffee, was really good, to be honest.
The menu was varied, however, the coffee selection wasn't as extensive. Yes, they had several options, but they were quite basic: espresso, cortado, cappuccino, frappuccino.
However, this coffee shop has an advantage over others, at least in my opinion: the sea.
The café is located overlooking Cienfuegos Bay. For someone like me who grew up by the sea, this is better than any other design or ambiance they could, or even could, give the café.
The sea doesn't need anything to be attractive, enigmatic, beautiful, and majestic. The sea itself is perfect, and the café owners knew this when they created it.
That's why the café's doors and windows were so large, so that from anywhere in the room you could see and feel the sea.
This brought back many memories of home, when I would sit on the balcony in the mornings, drinking coffee while watching the sea.
And that's precisely what I remember most about the artists' café. I remember it made me feel at home; and that was incredibly nice since I was hundreds of kilometers away.
And, since remembering is reliving, I feel at home again.
