#344/365 Festive atmosphere

ah..the lights were too low for my camera to capture a good shot. I still like the atmosphere nonetheless.

#222/365 Pasta Mia

We walk pass this unit and completely missed this new pasta place! Had to reverse and check out what's on the menu. Couldn't see much as it is not open when we're there. I'm guessing it is a pasta take-away.

I'll try and persuade my better half to test it out next week..stay tune.

#194/365 Cafe Frei III

Remember in March 2013, the CDP theme was "cafe chair"? Our entry and "chairs" came from Cafe Frei ; which is located inside the library.

Guess what? Cafe Frei has opened another outlet inside a bookstore, in the one and only shopping mall in our town. The decoration this time, and I am only guessing, is Morocco. I have to admit, I go there to enjoy their interior and atmosphere more than their drinks. However, this time we both agreed that their chocolate hazelnut drink is good enough reason for us to come visit again!

#170/365 Dry

Dry on both weather and inspirations!

#114/365 Valentino Kávéház

Valentino cafe is one of the few outlets in our town who has joined the Suspended Coffee programme. Unfortunately, on the day we wanted to contribute to this programme, which was Sunday, it was closed. Next week then..

#104/365 Lounging

Open for business early Saturday morning. Normally I'd have no problem sitting alone enjoying a cuppa; but I just didn't have the mood for it this morning. Oh well, maybe next weekend.

#65/365 Fornetti

We're at another Hungarian brand cafe. It is a straightforward set up and catering more for takeaways rather than sit down. But once in a while it is nice to just slow down for a cuppa + newspaper + chocolate linzer biscuits ...bliss!

About the cafe...
Fornetti bakery was founded in our town, starting as family business, in 1997. Later it offered franchise business, which is why you see them all over the country now and even a few abroad.

#64/365 Cafe Frei II

We featured Cafe Frei's chairs on this month theme day. Now we zoom out of the chairs and give you the interior. So, here is a view of the cafe from 1st floor of the library. It has very high ceiling. The wall is adorned with cow hide and portraits of people from around the world to coincide with the concept of global coffee and adventure.

#63/365 Please stay the same

As a kid, going to coffee shop (not the fancy kind but the casual Asian kind) means that our parents are giving us a treat. Later on, when I started working, going out to have coffee after work with friends or colleagues means it is time to unwind, complain about work and just relax.
When I see this old fashion cafeteria located in the Sunday market, it reminded me of the many occasions I spent in coffee shops back home. Nothing too fancy but always a joy.

#60/365 Cafe Frei {CDP Theme Day}

The theme this month is "cafe chair."
Which one do you prefer : The traditional cafe chair, the arm chair or the "bean" bag? Take your pick. Mine would be the arm chair!

You can see "cafe chair" around the world from other members'  here.

-------
A little on the cafe....
This cafe is located within the library and so we usually stop by the cafe for a drink whenever we're visiting the library.
Cafe Frei is a relatively well known cafe chain in Hungary as it is own by Támas Frei, a former tv personality turned coffee enthusiast.
I like the atmosphere and their concept of global adventure. Because of the global concept, it offers huge range of coffee from all around the world, without going through a middle man, so their prices are very reasonable.

#26/365 Eszpresszó

They don't make signs like this anymore! Yes, "S" in Hungarian is "Sz".
Happy weekend!

Girly Cafe

Entering the Mini Kávézó makes you forget that it is cold and gray outside.

As this is quite new and our first time here, I was taking in the decor.

as you see, it is more of girls' cafe!

Overall experience : Ate a nice piece of apple cream cake & reasonably good milked coffee.
