They all sound wonderful and intimidating to order. I need my hand held to order a cup of java? What about the other customers? Can I ignore the snickering and the sighs, who let this one in? If the lines are too long they send someone out to inject humor into the long wait playing Trivial Pursuit.
I look longingly at the tables outside with people conversing, sharing ideas, from all walks of life.
The big umbrellas that open to shelter one from the sun's rays.
The Big Barista blending the perfect cup of coffee.
I love coffee. I confessed recently to drinking coffee cold, most of the time. Hot coffee is a time luxury I usually can't afford.
I didn't start drinking coffee untill by 30's. My parents always drank coffee but they mixed in stuff meant to kill the taste? A canned milk called Milnot. Plus sugar. I tasted it a few times and thought it was nasty.
Then one day on a sales call, tired and thirsty, a guy said" have some coffee. It has been sitting awhile and it is cold, but have a cup"
A new thirst sensation was born.
I realized I like coffee. Not fancy, but black. The beans make the difference, brewing technique, ok I will buy that. Black Coffee, I am easy to please.
I would order a cup at a restaurant, black please, and they would bring cream and sugar. Creamer in a jar. No cream in there either.
Coffee from the islands seem to be the best. From Hawaii with Macadamia and Vanilla. That is my current favorite and seems it will be for a long time. Most major store brands deliver the caffine jolt, but not the flavor.
I am not a fancy guy, just give me a big cup of delicious coffee, pull up a chair and lets be friends. Oh by the way, the cute table, big umbrella is ok too, and something to read. I would be so happy, if I had the time. and some ice...too hot!

Some of the stuff that Starbuck's and other franchise coffee shops have on order are and insult to the pure delight of the flavour of coffee. For me, double shot, skinny latte. Strong, hot and aromatic. No sugar.
My parents drank coffee all the time and we were allowed to drink it as kids. Funnily enough, I don't like coffee in anything else. Coffee icecream or iced coffee. Just disgusting.
I might go someday with a friend, but would rather go to a little shop, where Mom and Pop run it. Sit outside and watch the world go by.
