Sometimes I wish I owned a cafe. A lovely place with a homey feel where people would come and sit, chat, relax, drink lots of coffee and eat delicious, fresh, simple food.
Actually, the truth is, I do kind of run a cafe but nothing like the one I dream of. I do cook (everything made with 100% love) for my four regular patrons and anyone else who cares to drop by. Its open 24/7 and the menu changes daily and is based on a 'what's in the fridge/pantry" at the moment.
My cafe isn't glam, nor that clean (lots of excess food left on floor caused by my little messy customers-if you get my drift). Thankfully no health inspectors visit. It is full of love though and laughter (most of the time) and plenty of good times.
I came across this cafe last month on Pinterest- I just love the simplicity and gorgeous white brick walls with timber shelving. The plants and vases of fresh flowers scattered throughout and those fun yellow chairs along the counter. Oh, and the pastel painted chairs along the long timber tables. I could sit in this cafe all day!
But, enough drooling- back to my cafe…..and speaking of, I have a few little customers awaiting their daily breakfast- better go! Have a great day xxx

I could imagine you there too Yvette….right at home!x
DeleteYes you totally run a cafe at the moment (sometimes I feel like a short order cook but with no staff) I think running a cafe is such a romantic notion but would be such alot of work. Maybe it would be different in the country where the pace is a bit slower, it would be very satisfying connecting with the customers and having them enjoy your food.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right…my husband said something similar to me last week- when was the last time you saw a cafe not open on a weekend? meaning someone has to work! Not really different to what we are doing already really, raising children! x
Deletei agree Kylie - what a gorgeous place to start your morning in. Love the pop of yellow with the chairs. L
