A marvellous new café
K: Jim, it’s lovely to see you. How are you doing?
J: Fine, I’m happy to see you too. And what about you, Kate?
K: I’m doing fine. And I love summer. It’s my favourite season, you know.
J: Well, actually it’s a bit too hot for me. But it’s beautiful weather, really.
K: You know what? Why don’t we sit down somewhere and have a chat? We haven’t talked for ages.
J: OK. Shall we sit down on a bench in the park?
K: We could, but why don’t we have a coffee and cakes? Have you been to the new vegan café around the corner at the main square?
J: No, but I’m not vegan, you know. Why should I go there?
K: Because it’s just a great place. I love it, really, the cakes are just …one is more delicious and tasty than the other. Now they started making beautiful sandwiches with gluten-free options too. The coffee is the best in town but the best of the best is their hot chocolate, no one makes anything like that, and I say no one! You can go to any other cafe here but it is unbeatable, it’s a gem …with magical recipes and ahhh the hot chocolate! My family and I like this place a lot, we have tried everything, the pies as well. You can feel everything is made with love.
J: That sounds too good to be true. But …. Isn’t it very expensive?
K: No, the prices are quite reasonable. You can’t say they’re very high. Actually, they’re good value for money.
J: Good. Let’s try it. And you are my guest. If it’s really so good, I will just be grateful for the recommendation.
