We all know that Cafés dot almost every corner, and yes we all get it, the world can’t seem to get enough coffee. Coffee makes the world go around who can say no to a fine brew? But as it turns out, there’s more to cafés than meets the eye. We dug deeper and found out some reasons why people love cafés beyond coffee…
What makes an amazing Café?
Imagine the F.R.I.E.N.D.S gang hanging out at their usual couch in Central Perk. That’s a classic good café scenario. It really was an extension of their living room wasn’t it, a place where they could relax, chat, eat a muffin or two (Joey), and just escape the world for a little while.
Cafés are an easy way to get a quick meal whilst resting those feet after a big shopping trip or just to escape the office for a bit to kill time. But an amazing café will take your experience “next level”.
Coffee shops are the top spot to meet and have a gossip session with your friends, or where parents and grandparents can buy little children a babycino with a side of marshmallow and create special memories. Coffee, pastries and desserts, music and social interaction, it’s the homo sapien version on an animal’s watering hole. Be prepared to spend a few hours indulging in an environment of comfy couches, plush armchairs, & dim lighting with your favourite people.
An amazing café will have a range of tantalising qualities that you simply cannot go past. It is not just that they consistently serve the finest espresso & delicious meals, but the best cafés will get your creative juices flowing too.
When you have to prepare a presentation, beat a deadline, or need to do some serious study, why do you feel more productive in a café? According to a study by the University of Melbourne, “A moderate level of ambient noise is conducive to creative cognition.” So being alone in a quiet room might not be the best place to get the creative juices flowing, the creative side of your brain doesn’t like it when it’s too quiet.
Sometimes when you’re alone, being in a café can make you feel more connected to the world, people watching is always fun, it can be a time where you can appreciate the art that is human society or just be plain “judgie”, but we promise we won’t judge you judging…
