My seat in the coffee shop

Are there any aspects of coffee shop seating arrangements that bother you? What are some of them, and how do you react to such situations? These are the questions from The Coffee Shop Prompt | Week 102: Jan 30 - Feb 5, here's my assessment.

I like spacious coffee shops that offer the minimum distance between tables where I can create my own intimate space to converse fluently with the people who accompany me.

On Thursday of this week we went to a concert of the Symphony Orchestra of Aragua, the regional orchestra of the state where I live, my husband and I invited a friend who gladly agreed to accompany us.

When we left the activity to close the afternoon, we went for a coffee. I chose a coffee shop where I had not formally gone to sit, I had only seen it in passing and the truth is that I was not very attracted to it because of its small space, since I can't imagine how we could all sit comfortably if the place had all the seats occupied.

However, I wanted to know it first to make the review here in the community and secondly because last year the cafeteria won two awards for the preparation of their hot dogs and hamburgers respectively.

These activities are organized by different brands to promote different enterprises and their products, each month they bring out a category: ice cream, sweets, cachapas, hot dogs, hamburgers, pizzas, coffee ... So having won two awards, I wanted to know it.

Back to the subject, as you can see the space between one table and another is minimal, of course, it is a table for two, but luckily for me, there were few people and I could sit in what I consider the best seat: the one where I can visualize the whole environment, see what is happening in front of me, not that the matter obsesses me, but I dislike being with my back to the entrances.

And I say that I am not obsessed with the matter because when I have arrived at a coffee shop and that place that I consider perfect is not available, I have still sat with the best disposition to have a great time with my partner or friends, which is what is really important in every outing and every moment that I intentionally seek to procure for myself.

The cafeteria has a nice decoration, it is worth noting that in my country these spaces have had a great impulse, this one for example, is located inside an old supermarket that was remodeled, about two years ago, to join the boom of offering an additional service to the customer. It seems to me that the strategy has worked because all the large and medium-sized supermarkets in the city have set up a space for this purpose.

Now you have the opportunity to go grocery shopping and find a nice space to finish your shopping with an aromatic coffee, or the other way around, you went out to have a coffee at that specific point and before returning home you go to the shelves to look for that ingredient you needed to prepare your food for the next day.

All very functional, pleasant and easy. Three aspects that I love.
