About CaféNico is for people who love coffee shops and what they have to offer. Yes, the coffee is overpriced. Yes, you can have it at home, at a much lower cost. But then again, it’s not just the coffee (which actually tastes much better!) that lures you. And it’s more than the relaxing tea, the sumptuous croissants and brownies, not to mention the great tasting cookies that keep you coming back. It’s the lifestyle you’re after. And it’s this same lifestyle that CafeNico wishes to offer—for free! Your Online Coffee Shop Lifestyle Coffee Shops are about living the good life. They attract people who know how it is to seize life, people who see the value behind an overpriced cup of coffee, people who enjoy what life has to offer, people who can’t wait to make things happen, or just enjoy the way things are. Coffee shops also lure people who like to talk about things (and eavesdrop at the conversation over the nearby table ;) ). Yes, they often gripe and whine, but they enjoy life anyway. If you are anyone of the people just mentioned, you will love this site and you will keep coming back for more. More than Just a Beverage CafeNico also talks about Coffee itself and all the health benefits it has to offer. Yes, that expensive cup of great tasting and aromatic coffee (not to mention invigorating!) can actually be good for your health! And you can explore these benefits through CafeNico. And of course, every coffee shop serves tea too, which means we’ll be talking about it too. Just like anything else in life (and just like your favorite cup of coffee), CafeNico will not be about all things nice and pretty. You will hear about negative things too (i.e the perils of too much coffee, of opening your own coffee shop etc.). You’ll enjoy them though. It’s still the ‘bitter’ that makes you recognize, appreciate and enjoy the ‘sweet’ even more! Coffee Shop Talk You often go to coffee shops to spend time with yourself, with a good book maybe, or congregate with your friends or business associates to pass the time, discuss important matters, or talk about everything and anything under the sun (or the moon ;) ). ‘Coffee Shop Talk’ has also become a term used to refer to gossip, as people often meet at the coffee shop to talk about office politics, what’s going on in their lives or just about anything that catches their interest at the moment. Sometimes conversations go as deep as the national politics, business, or even the ‘meaning of life’. True to the nature of a coffee shop, CafeNico is a place of social interaction. You can join conversations by leaving comments or you can become a guest blogger. Yes, you can have your own article posted at CafeNico (subject to approval), with due credit! ‘The Who’ Behind CafeNico Just in case you were wondering, it’s Tahna writing for you. I am currently working as a copywriter. This site is a product of my hunger for life and what it has to offer. Join me as I advance through my journey, learn more from life, and seize what it has to offer (both good and bad!). Thanks for dropping by and do make CafeNico your daily habit (or at least almost ;) ). CAFENICO IS OPEN 24 HOURS EVERYDAY!
