It’s not a luxurious place — just a small café,
but daily care keeps it clean and cozy.

Nothing fancy here, yet every machine is a loyal teammate,
cared for and trusted, helping create the gentle rhythm and comfort.

After a deep clean, everything shines a little brighter.
Even the light feels softer — like it’s smiling.

Luxury is overrated. Coziness and homey-ness are where it's at! If I lived nearby, I'd be a constant visitor to your cafe. It looks like heaven-on-earth to me. And your cooking.. oh my!

coffee klatch
The term “coffee klatch” comes from the German word, “kaffeeklatsch,” which translates to coffee (kaffee) + gossip (klatsch). It refers to a group of friends getting together over a cup of coffee, usually at someone's house.
The early forms of the word in English indicate a derivation from Arabic or Turkish: chaoua (1598), cahve, kahui, etc. French café, German Kaffe are via Italian caffè.

The first coffee-house in Mecca dates to the 1510s; the beverage was in Turkey by the 1530s. It appeared in Europe c. 1515-1519 and was introduced to England by 1650. By 1675 the country had more than 3,000 coffee houses and coffee had replaced beer as a breakfast drink, but its use there declined 18c. with the introduction of cheaper tea. In the American colonies, however, the tax on tea kept coffee popular.
Meaning "a light meal at which coffee is served" is from 1774.
I know this from Music History where German composers would meet there, and they journaled about it.
