A Coffee Corner Review In an Unusual Place
Coffee is synonymous with waiting and working moments. This time, my coffee drinking activities are related to those two things.
Honestly, this is the most expensive coffee I've ever had for an ordinary latte variant without any additions. But it is not without reason that I decided to sit at a coffee corner at a hotel in Medan.
Behind The Story of Ordering The Coffee in The Hotel
I always make appointments with clients in coffee shops or workspaces in several public facilities available in cities where I make appointments with them.
Today there is an urgent moment where I have to meet clients at the "Grand Mercure Angkasa" hotel in Medan. A client of mine who needed content creation services for her food business had a short time at the hotel while she does meeting with others.
We cannot postpone our meeting because this time she will be out of town again while the need for digital marketing content for her food business cannot be postponed any longer.
Finally, I also had to wait for her to finish meeting with other people. Because I got to the appointment place early to avoid being late, so I had to wait for about half an hour.
I need some coffee this morning. Finally, I looked around and I found a coffee corner in this hotel.
A Cup of Latte for USD 3.5
In my city, coffee prices are usually in the range of USD1 - USD2. I knew in hotels everything would be more expensive, even for a bottle of water.
Because I was in an urgent moment this morning and my head was really dizzy if I didn't drink coffee, then I had to order a latte at the hotel.
Truth be told, this is an unusual place to drink coffee. For the sake of a client and professionalism.
I paid a total of IDR 50K or USD3.5 for a cup of latte.
Atmosphere of The Place
A coffee corner in this hotel is quite conducive and comfortable for important meetings. I also saw several people wearing important uniforms meeting at the coffee corner in this hotel.
Space is a bit mixed up with the hotel lobby, but that's no problem at all because we can choose a space that is a little bit in a corner to avoid getting noisy from other visitors checking in.
It is also important for me they provide a place to charge my laptop and phone.
With friendly waiters and a conducive place, it's at least worth me to spend IDR 50K or USD3.5 for a cup of latte.
That was my story about the urgent moment this morning that made me have to order a cup of latte as large as IDR 50 K or USD 3.5.
How about you? How much is the most expensive cup of coffee you have ever paid for for an urgent moment in your life?
