Open coffee shop on the 6th floor of a building.

Hi fellow hivers and members of CinnamonCupCoffee. How are you?
I recently met up with a friend. We had a meeting on the 6th floor of a building. We took the elevator up. As the doors opened, we were greeted by an open coffee shop. There were no doors, no borders. I thought of how accessible it was. Though there were several other shops on the same floor, I could see how such convenience could lure guests in. The “coffee” sign was big and clear. It almost lured us in but we had a meeting at a different location. The concept is interesting. I was able to take a shot after our meeting, when the shop was about to close and I didn’t have to worry about snapping customers.

Tea and Drink Specials at McDonald’s

Two packets of tea served at McDonald’s.
In this particular post, I want to write about tea and drink specials at McDonald’s. I occasionally stop by McDonald’s for breakfast and a cup of tea. Whenever I order tea, I’m usually given two packets of Lipton. To me, one packet is enough. It makes me wonder if there is surplus or if the quality of tea is actually good enough.
Is this practice of serving two packets of tea universal at Macdonald’s?

Uji Matcha Frappe and Strawberry Uji Matcha Frappe, Montblanc Tart

In Japan, coffee shops, restaurants and food establishments in general, tend to do well at advertising their food and drink specials. One thing I really enjoy doing is literally looking at the drink specials. It’s exciting to see the offerings especially as seasons change. Yes, there are times I give in and get my self a special but I’m usually satisfied by just taking a snap of them. Above and below, are some Uji matcha specials offered by McDonald’s.
Uji is located in Kyoto, Japan and is said to be the place where matcha was born. High quality matcha can be found in that area. These Uji drink specials would attract any matcha-lover.

Which of these specials would you order?

Have a wonderful week. 😃

Hello @fruityfruitz,
I am picturing what you said about the building. We discovered that in Osaka too. the elevator on a building opened up, and we were right there in the restaurant. It's unusual, as you expect to have to walk through a hall/corridor or something, but no, you are right there.
I guess someone would have to witness it to understand how odd it is.
I'd definitely go for the green tea macaroons:)

😃Hi @millycf1976. Right!! I’m happy you got it and have experienced it. The photo couldn’t do justice to the actual scene and I wasn’t sure if the words explained it well enough. It is really an odd experience as you said. It makes you want to turn around and look for the hall or corridor you missed. 😆Lol!!

I'd definitely go for the green tea macaroons:)

I think I’d go for that as well and wouldn’t mind having it with just regular green tea. Lol!

Oh Lipton <3. I grew up drinking that stuff haha.
Somehow I feel they do almost everything better in Japan. Even McDonalds is probably better than we have it here.

Haha! I grew up seeing Lipton too. When I just came here, many things were unfamiliar. When I saw “Lipton”, I was like, “Hey, I know you!”😆
Japan does like to add a little “fancy” or “cute” to many things. Where are you located?
