I always make coffee and cook myself. Sometimes I meet my best friend at a coffee shop and drink coffee together.
Since I have turned to a healthy style, I rarely go to the cafe to order snacks or sweets, not to mention, I love to bake my own bakeries to add specific ingredients.
Rarely, i usually go to bakeries to buy bread. But last week i decided to go a new bakery that opened near my home to read a new book that i recently acquired, called "The Jaw of Caim", and drink a coffee.
Everyday I goes to the cafe and my random and favorite order is a french coffee with a piece of cheesecake
I usually have breakfast at the café every morning before I get to work. I like to have breakfast at the cafe rather than at home, because I feel better and relaxed than having breakfast at home. I appreciate being looked after by the barman while I have breakfast. Also, having breakfast in the bar, I can change the type of snacks and drink daily. For example, yesterday I had breakfast with a whole-grain blueberry croissant and I drank fresh-squeezed orange juice. Instead, today I had breakfast with crème croissants and Italian coffee. Moreover, the price is very cheaply and affordable.
once a month
sometimes,i go outside and go shopping. i love coffee.
Exactly i prefer often go to convenient store to buy something or coffee. I also love starbuck, but it is alilte expensive about 5, 6 usd for one cup cofee. it just costs 1, 2 usd for one cup cofee instead. When i have no time to prepare for my breakfast , i ll go to convenient to buy it .
Not very often. maybe once a year. I rarely drink coffee because I don’t like.
