My wife and I got fully vaccinated recently and we’ve been visiting the place we frequented pre-pandemic. We barely went out for almost two years to lessen the risk of catching the virus. Judging from me being hospitalized for having Covid 19, it was necessary for us to do that for survival.

The aesthetics of this small shop is on point

I needed coffee, copious amounts of coffee.
See the espresso machine?
