Café cosiness | "Man does not live on bread alone..."

Café cosiness



Site Meter

Many great writers have written their books at a café table.
I have always considered cafés as an inspiring place,
a parallel dimension with the comfort of anonymity and,
at the same time, the presence of strangers,
as an open gate to a possible communication.
Breakfast mates... Night are longer in December.... It's still dark when one takes the first cup of coffee. They open at 7 am. Now we can get our cup of coffee... Golden moment...
The exile of the smoker.... The old fashioned charm of a little alpine café... The students' café Caffé espresso...
Coffee and sympathy... Café du Débarcadère Antica Confetteria Café Bleu
Morning news must be as fresh as a croissant, but are always less tasty.... Sunday morning cosy pleasures.... Breakfast at the Baker's Le café à la Rue du Boeuf
Morning pleasures.... Manor Café Early in the morning.... La Clémence
News at breakfast... Out of the Blue... Morning breakfast is cool... July beer...
Bird of Prey The season of breakfast on a terrace is back! How to start perfectly a common day... Waiting for the pianist....
An old arcade as perfect shelter...coffee and rain! Morning bretzel, Swiss style... Chez Janine... Le Boiron
At Rougemont Café for breakfast Chez Sonia Le Café de la Lune Le Bar à Vins
La terrasse de Prangins Le café du Grand Soleil Café du Chat Rouge La Cigale
Margarita (and the Master...) A good way to start a day... Literary café .... Good Morning sunshine
Swiss Espresso All home baked Le Petit Tea-Room Le café du Midi
Chez Gaston au petit matin A la Vieille Ville Le café de la Tour Thank you!
The first client of the early morning... Coffee and fresh home made sandwiches... At Manor in a rainy day... A glass of sunshine brightens up a cloudy morning...
