I think we should have more coffeehouses, more cafés, more “third places.” More places where people can get together that’s not work, not home, and where they can interact with people who are different from them.

-Eric Weiner

My weekends are usually spent at coffee shops with my latest read or with my group of friends. I adore cafés because they are an excellent way to spend some quality time. Whenever I feel stressed out or whenever I want to enjoy a hot cup of coffee along with a dessert, I head to the nearest café or coffee shop.

Yummy desserts, the tempting smell of freshly brewed coffee, classy décor and peaceful environment can make your day in no time.
