Coffee, what a bitter word!
It's not how you stir the coffee, but whether or not you put sugar in it; it's not how you forget an injury, but whether you have the courage to start again.
We like the kind of atmosphere in a coffee shop, quiet and cozy, without too many noisy voices to disturb you.
You can silently gaze at the scenery outside the window, or read the book in your hand.
At this moment, time seems to have stood still and everything is so beautiful.
Drinking bitter coffee is like taking poison, eating the bitterness of life, but you will sometimes find that bitter coffee is like the road of life, you will also taste a hint of sweetness in the process of eating bitterness.
Books, what an amazing word!
People who love coffee love to read.
Coffee is sweet in its bitterness, books are sweet in their bitterness. Coffee is understated, books are literate.
What kind of sparks can be created when bookstores and coffee are combined?
It is impossible to trace when the first combination took place, but today it has become popular and logical.
A bookshop without coffee seems to have lost its flavor and become much blander.
Although bookshops and coffee are different things, the magic is that they are genetically similar and have a similar vibe.
For some time now, many independent bookshops have been enjoying the company of coffee, with at least one specialist coffee machine and a few seats, or a shop-in-shop for the larger ones.
Even some of the older traditional shops have been generous enough to set aside a dedicated coffee area when they are renovated.
Nowadays, when a bookshop is newly opened, it's surprising if you don't smell the coffee.
There seems to be an intrinsic connection between bookstores and coffee, and a bond between past and present lives.
It's fun to imagine this connection and relationship in the wild.
Reading has become a fashion, drinking a cup of coffee, flicking through one of your favorite books, with the jazz music of coffee in your ears. It's a great feeling!
Walk over to the bookshelf, grab a good book, plan to sit down at the desk, and start reading.
There is sunshine, there are plants.
Reading in such an environment should not be better than this.
We don't think it's complicated why coffee and books are related, because they both need to be approached at a slower pace.
Coffee needs to be taken slowly, and a good book needs to be read more slowly.
The fusion of them makes you feel peaceful, calm and soothing. Reading over coffee is not for people who live a fast-paced life, and are busy with work every day.
The ideal coffee for a bookshop is one that is pure in flavour and rich in cultural history.
It is a place where we can taste the unique aroma of coffee and the bookshop.
Perhaps from a market perspective, the combination of bookshop and coffee is appropriate but not necessarily optimal.
The current situation is such that the number of people who are happy to visit a physical bookshop is not what it used to be, and there are not necessarily many who enjoy coffee.
As a result, many bookshops are trying to survive by offering a variety of boutique and lifestyle products in addition to coffee.
In a sense, this is the alienation of the bookshop.
