Tea and eat.

It is terribly cold in Sofia these days. So much snow and low temperatures that ski fans cannot think of work at all because of snow, while the others just do not want to even think about going to work.

In such cold weather the only proper thing to do is just sit down somewhere warm and have a cup of tea (or other hot drink).
This is what I thought I've found one morning when passed by a small nice cafe and tea place and decided to jump in.
'Tea' is a part of a pastry-cafeteria-and-stores chain which I like because of their light cakes with modern taste and handsome waiters (only men, no women);-)

This forth site of their has:

a kind lady behind the bar,

no male waiters :-(

a great old-fashioned coffee machine

great horse-headed piles on the pavement in front

coffee and tea selection of the brand Richard

Italian food and wine and other bottles...

and last but not least - the tiny rounded paper for your chewing gum served together with your coffee.
It won my heart :-) Can you see it on the picture above?
Their ceiling was a strong competition to it though.

But it's too cold in the winter mornings there so I'll wait till April before visiting the kind lady again.

Coffee...

Coffee is more than a drink. That is my belief that made me create this blog (in addition to the curiousity about how the hell is a blog maintained). It is a reflection of our personality. My personality is a lot of coffee with more milk - consisting of many black and many white features ;-)

I will share here how I try to get my coffee prepared in the best possible way (which, of course, is the way I want it prepared). Sometimes I will describe what was my experience in the coffee shops and restaurants in the town I live in, namely Sofia, Bulgaria. In other days I will tell you about my journeys and the ways I got my coffee prepared in these far, remote, exotic, rural or close and boring places. If not successful in this, I assume I will give up in few years...or less:-)
