Hello, friends at Hive!
I'm here for this week's 116th post with a very special coffee shop, not so much for me as for the teenage clientele of my city: the Hogwarts cafe.
Set in the theme of the Harry Potter young adult novel series written by J. K. Rowling and immortalized by Warner Bros. for the big screen, this is the quintessential youth café in my city.
On the walls and in every corner of the coffee shop, you can find objects from the film, such as phoenix feather wands, rules, promotional posters, some of Dolores Umbridge's prohibitions, etc.
On the walls we can find spells, incantations, drawings of holocruxes, images of the famous school of Magic
And even such impressive warnings. I still remember the day it came out in the movie and I thought, "This isn't a kids' movie anymore."
And no. I don't think it was after the third movie. But that's my opinion, of course.
What's so great about this coffee shop?
First and foremost is the atmosphere. It's undoubtedly very interesting and attractive to young people and tourists passing through the province.
You can spend time here, while sipping your coffee or waiting for it, reading everything written on the walls: spells, incantations, newspaper excerpts, as well as the dedications written and signed on the walls of the private room.
The decor, the climate-controlled private room, and the service are also worth highlighting.
Especially the climate-controlled private room, which is very suitable for the typical temperature in our city.
At the same time, this fairly simple and well-thought-out furniture for the living spaces of this coffee shop can be uncomfortable for long stays or very large groups.
However, I understand them. These seats and benches can be easily moved to any corner of the coffee shop; therefore, regardless of whether small groups of two, three, or even five people come, they can always sit together without hindering the bartender's work or the rest of the customers.
The worst thing I find is its geographical location. The Hogwarts cafe is located right on the side of the street. This means that customers who are not in a private room are an arm's length away from any passersby walking or strolling along the street.
Likewise, ambient noise also affects the enjoyment of your stay at the coffee shop.
Getting back to the good stuff, which is what this coffee shop offers most, is this menu.
As you can see, they not only offer several types of coffee, which are delicious and reasonably priced. Perhaps the best thing about this is the value for money.
On the other hand, they also offer several fast food options, such as various types of hamburgers, juices, soft drinks, beers, and a variety of cocktails.
It's not the only themed coffee shop in the city, but it's more famous, and despite its drawbacks, it's one of the most popular.
Here's the pin where you can find it.
I hope you like it 😊
