Hello Everyone,

Cinnamon Cup Coffee is delighted to announce that our creative contest #SPILLTHEBEANS has been re-vamped.
The first two weeks kicked off with a BANG and the contest has been well received. Thank you to everyone who has participated so far, and we invite everyone to join in.

Please watch this short video to discover the winner of last week's contest:)

All the entries showed creativity and originality which made it a great contest, but these two top stories covered all the elements and the winning story had the edge that made it a really beautiful read.
Thanks again for raising the bar peeps!

See this week's topic below, with a countdown timer that needs to be observed for the deadline of entries. The entry deadline for posts ends on Wednesday, with the countdown timer at the top and the bottom of this post, guiding you to the cut-off time.

This is a creative writing exercise, therefore you can weave your story however you like, but it MUST revolve around the topic presented.

Have fun peeps!

(Plain text)

POST TOPIC: "The Perfect Café"

Describe the Perfect Café/Coffee Shop.

Imagine that you were going to open up your own cafe and money wasn't an issue at all. Tell us about what you would create. Some things to consider could be:
Where would it be located?
How would you design and decorate it?
What would the concept be?
What would it serve?
How would you market it?
What would the clientele be?
How would it be different from other locations?

Be creative and think outside the box. Good luck!

C'mon, put your creative caps on!
