Carver Cafe Novels & Stories

"Got it." The waitress playfully stuck out her tongue. The man took the menu away and proceeded to prepare the tea. The waitress came out from the kitchen and told Joey, "You can check out these wood carvings. They're for sale as well." "Alright, thank you," Joey said before standing up and starting to look at the wood carvings. Some were on the wall, and others were displayed in cabinets. The café didn't seem cramped with these cabinets. Joey spotted a very beautiful wood carving.

What could go wrong? We went to an old coffee shop father used to take me to whenever he wanted to apologize for being sober, called Le Cafe Coffee. They were very popular around the area and it was closer to home. I had already missed one call from Cora, I didn't want to keep her or Lily worried. The place had a warm and inviting ambiance, I recognized the sweet aroma of their special made ginger and lemon tea as I walked in. Sebastian hadn't been here before, so I was left to do all the explanations for him.

It was Lex! “Happy birthdayyy meow!! Can you come to the GAC café at 9 today?? Its my treat. It’s been a long since we celebrated your birthday together!!”, he wrote. ‘Afterall there is someone who remembers it.’, She glowed up. ‘Lin Lin won’t be taking that much time, right??! Guess I’ll be able to go and celebrate my birthday!”, she mumbled to herself. “Okay I guess I will be able to come by then!”, she replied back with a smile emote.

Her family's home. Carina took a bottle of red cabernet sauvignon and thought about her dilemma. Her bookstore was fully mortgaged. The expansion of the cafe was carefully planned in detail and not a single penny was left over. She glanced at the entire Victorian loft and easily calculated that there was nothing left to sell. No, not even on eBay.

“Fine. But if anyone tries to get me to sing ‘Jingle Bell Rock,’ I’m filing an HR complaint.” Marcus fist-pumped. “Yes!” “But I swear,” she added, “if you touch the cocoa machine and break it again—” “That was an accident!” “You burned your name into the side.” “A happy accident.” The outing was set for 8:30, right after closing. By 8:32, everyone was bundled up in winter coats and filing into “Cup & Note,” the quirky café three blocks from BuyMore that doubled as a karaoke bar on Fridays. The lights were dim, the windows fogged, and the interior was decked out in fake snow, pine garlands, and mismatched armchairs.

There were all kinds of people visiting her cafe, the school kids hanging out with each other, the old businessmen grabbing a bite before the day started and the one coming from the gym still in gym wear who couldn't resist the aroma that filled the cafe. A smile found its way up to Avery's lips when she saw the smiles on each one's face. Only sweets could do that. She thought to herself. The cafe was big and spacious with the pink wooden finish all over, providing warmth in the chilli weather and the perfect aesthetic look mixed with the pink camellias. There was also a little library at the corner that she builded with the books she read over the years, still as good as new.

He held her gaze with an emotion unknown to her and probably to himself as well. But soon that emotion was gone and a smirk plastered on his lips, “What? Are you not daring enough to save him from me like you saved your friend yesterday?” he asked. And with those words the memories of their first meeting came rushing back to her mind. Flashback Cara was in the café taking orders of coffee, some baked cookies and muffins on table number 5, where a teenage couple was sitting. She has just started working here and this is her second day of work. When she saw the place for the first time, she just fell in love with it’s beauty.
