Have you heard the saying how do you know if you haven't tried it? Well... I have. I've said many times that I'm very traditionalist. I like places I already know, I like to anticipate what I know I'm going to get. And that's how it is with most things... even with reading, not because of the authors; but with respect to the genres.

However, I enjoy each of the activities I do; Perhaps the fact of the same recursiveness leads me to see the enjoyment in what you end up seeing as simple. This way or style of life does not escape coffee. Brands, flavors, additives and places, I always tend to move around what I already know. #
Some time ago, I wrote about My Little Coffee in this community at The Coffee Shop Prompt Week 72. My Little Coffee.

This year, at the beginning of July, I was with my son on a day in a hurry, after noon, and we passed by Callejón Juncal. It is a historic passage in Cumaná. Well, we saw an ad that said: My little cafe: coffee, peanuts and crafts. It was definitely a new place. Cumaná is a small city, and it's an area I often pass through, and I had never seen it before.

That day, even though we were very busy, we stopped by. The atmosphere turned out to be very cozy, warm and intimate. Really very small. However, everything was in its place, very organized. But what we really liked most about the cafe was the service and how close everything they sold there was. You could see them up close and even touch them.

That inspired confidence in me at the time and reminded me of the old days in my city when everything was not so closed; but more open-air. These details, along with the familiar treatment given to the people who went there at that time, especially for the coffee. I will now refer to this in more detail because it was what definitely caused the greatest surprise.

Apparently the owner of the café is an active merchant from the Cumaná market who buys and grinds the coffee just before making it. Mi Cafecito does not have an espresso machine or anything like that. They simply have a large electric thermos. But they make coffee several times a day so that it is fresh and freshly brewed. Which gives it that taste and aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

So this was my surprise place: pleasant and familiar atmosphere, that confidence where you can serve your own coffee, a coffee that is also like the one you make at home; warm space and treatment and a variety of local and artisanal products that made me return to the Cumaná of ​​yesteryear, the one that we Cumanéses remember with great affection.
