The undesirable and yet desirable coffee shop at the corner

There is this coffee shop near the hostel I staying at. They serve the worse coffee that I ever tasted, serious. But, they are also selling the best French toast that I ever had, well for a very long time.

The thing is I wouldn't, usually, come back this often for French toast alone. But some how, this coffee shop seems to work like a magnet to me. Maybe is the ambience. It had a classic coffee shop design, furnished with dark color, wooden chair and table. The floor is, however, covered with modern wood like tiles. The place is slightly lided with a old, bronze hanging lamp like you see in a sixties movie. Most of the light came from the sun, through the transparent glass wall. The other parts of the wall is cover with old certificates framed in very old frames. Then they have a baby chair made from rotan sitting underneath all those frames. Sounds like a good spot for picture? I think so.

Most of the customer of this coffee shop, are at their golden age. The rest are mostly in their early forties. I guess this is one of the reason I like it here. Not much of the fact that I can the youngest of course. Is that I don't really like noisy places. I prefer quiet and less crowded people. Where I can enjoy a good cup of coffee (in this case, French toast), without the need to risk my ear drums being exploded by the noisy surroundings. And if I want to bring my friend here, I wouldn't have to scream my lungs out during our conversation.

With the sun is out, and gentle breezes from the ceiling fan, I think this is a great place to start your day before a hectic day at work. I wouldn't name this place, but I am willing to bring you here if you are keen or curious :-)
