    I would add to the Ethiopian conversation that Ethiopia is the birth place of coffee, and is a huge part of the culture. The reason Italy is so associated with coffee is that they tried SO HARD to colonize Ethiopia, but instead they just kinda got a cultural exchange where Italy got coffee and Ethiopia got pasta 😂

    When I was a kid, my whole class was learning how to cut with scissors and I was terrible at it, so the teacher assigned me a special teacher to spend more time with me to learn the way of the scissor.
    My special scissor teacher noticed that I was left handed forced to use a right handed scissor. They got me a left handed scissor, stepped back, and watched me as I cut my little heart out. 😋 ✂️

It's a women-owned Indonesia coffee shop by McPherson Square, has IMMACULATE vibes, the nicest staff I've ever encountered, high quality coffee, gorgeous interior (the MUGS), fantastic treats, and the people watching is 10/10. Plus there's window seating so you can people watch those walking by as well as those coming in! I don't think I've used their bathroom though so you'll have to check that out when you go lol

    Ethiopia is where the coffee plant originated! Specifically the arabica coffee bean, which is a smoother milder blend versus the other species of coffee, Robusta. Ethiopian coffee is special because it's coffee grown in its natural environment and is also a precious and historical industry to the Ethiopians.

      She uses a copyright licensing service I believe called lickd (though there are others too) where you pay monthly and then are allowed to use copyrighted songs they have licenses for and still monetize her videos. If you seriously want that you can try it yourself too. Though if your channel is small and unmonetized like mine, using a song that's allowed but not allowed to monetize might still be better.

But on a more serious note, I've just moved to Montpellier (south of France) after living in Paris for 10 years and I have zero friends to go to coffee shops with. So this video has inspired me to go and check out my local cafés on my own and do your scoring scale for my own amusement. Merci Caroline!

    dying over how EMPTY that tatte was. i’ve never seen that location so peaceful. tatte is probably the thing i miss most about dc (a cashier told me last november that they’re expanding to nyc soon, but they haven’t publicly announced anything…). anyway, great little treats, and the best chai lattes ever. out of all the nyc cafes i’ve been to, i haven’t found any that have chai lattes similar to tatte’s 😭

    I am so glad you did a coffee shop critique. My husband and I own a coffee shop which is also inside our hardware store which was established in 1904. I also love local coffee shops too and there is a little bit of a ‘tude’ some baristas cop when this gramma shows up. But I know what I’m talking about out.
    The sign outside our shop says 1901, but no it was 1904)) and the latte shop inside , “The Bean Counter” was opened in 2000. One of the things people seem to like about it is that it is a surprise to see. Locals love it because our coffee is good.
    Now I have an idea of what categories we can work on, thanks to your insightful and correct judgement. Wish you could come here (but we’re way the hell and gone across the country from you) and critique us.
    We would send you to The Baker’s Table bakery just up the street for treats. We support other businesses in our little PNW village.

    I've never in my whole life of 73 years drank coffee - but, this is one of my most favorite videos you've done. I've hung out in many coffee shops to sit and write and have a snack and just a space away where I can feel like I'm at least in some kind of community. I love the smell of coffee but didn't drink it bc I didn't want to be an adult.🤪 So, I have water no ice and usually coffee cake, lemon poundcake or a cookie. If I'm hungry, I'll have a toasted bagel with the works. I'd love to see more videos like this. I like seeing what you wore each day too and your comment about the killer shoes that wouldn't let your toes relax.
