Novel & Cerita Coklat Panas Malam Musim Dingin My Cafe

Maybe caramel. I crossed the street and stepped into a small café on the corner. It wasn’t one of those fancy places with neon lights and overpriced croissants, but it smelled like heaven. Coffee beans, cinnamon, and fresh pastries. Exactly what I needed. The barista at the counter gave me a kind smile. “Morning! What can I get you?” I leaned on the counter. “Do you believe in fate?” She blinked. “Uh… sure?” “Well, fate keeps stealing my coffee, so today I need one that’s strong enough to fight back. Triple shot latte. Caramel. Two sugars. Please.”

Something beautiful, subtle, unyielding. After hanging up, I opened a browser tab and typed in the number from memory—Trésor Cacao, her favorite chocolate place. She used to sneak out of dorms to buy their truffles, swearing Madame Eloïse made them with some kind of magic. A woman answered in her soft French-laced tone. “Bonjour, Trésor Cacao.” “It’s Damien von Adler. I’d like to send an order house truffles, please. Champagne ganache and dark cherry.”

Carol taps out a message on her phone, her fingers gliding over the screen as she searches for the right words to ask for a text instead of a call. But the message won’t send, and a strange chill runs through her. She glances around. The café, Chat & Bake, is oddly empty. Usually, it’s buzzing with life at this hour. She comes here every week, drawn by the best hot chocolate and apple pie in town. But today, there’s no one—no waitress, no manager. The absence feels unsettling. The familiar scent of fresh bread and coffee lingers in the air, but without the usual hum of people, it feels strangely hollow.

The caterers were frying meats for the occasion which they put in a big stainless sieve. "Let's go and take meat and go." Michelle said. Kamsi nodded and stood up. Together they walked closer to where the large stainless sieve containing the fried meat was kept. "Nye tu nu anyi anu" Michelle said, stretching out her hand like a child before the caterer. Kamsi laughed along with the caterer who motioned for her to take . "Thank you, " Michelle said. Kamsi took one meat from her and they left the kitchen, tearing the meat with their teeth.

"Yeah, I think so. Give me a minute, I'll call them." Jennifer calls the restaurant and I help the last costumer of the day, an old lady with soft pink hair. She orders a caramel bomb, basically caramel in a glass with a double shot of ristretto and finished with whipped cream and caramel fudges. What a woman. "Nik, I got us a table at seven thirty." Jennifer says, silently chuckling at the old lady with her super deluxe coffee. "Cool, we can do drinks at Barney's first." I suggest and clean the counter.

They always ran into someone they knew and had to make small talks the entire time. The cafe was almost empty when they walked in. They sat in their favorite booth and an excited old woman came to greet them. The girls called her ‘Mom’, like the name of the cafe. All of them greeted Mom and gave her their orders. Sophia ordered a cream-filled doughnut and iced cappuccino, Grace ordered a cinnamon roll and a vanilla latte, and Natalia got hot chocolate with marshmallows. Eden just asked for a plain cup of hot coffee. Mom knew something was off because Eden always asked her what was on the special menu every time she went there.

Napapangiwi pa ako nang makita ang pangalan ng mokong na iyon. Cinderella:Blueberry muffins and strawberry shortcake. With two milktea. "Seryoso ba siya?" mahinang bulalas ko matapos basahin iyon. Mamumulubi ako sa lalaking to at– "Blueberry muffins and strawberry shortcake. With two milktea." pagbasa ni Manager Anne sa message na kaagad ko namang inilayo. Tumawa ito kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

It was a very calming atmosphere had it not been for the massive amounts of people in here. The counter had cakes on display in all different shapes and flavors. My stomach was full but I was drooling as I looked at the chocolate-covered lava cake and the chocolate chip muffins but I knew that If I ate another thing I would die. ”One cappuccino and one-” I said and turned to Cassy. ”No, I'll order after you,” she said and I stared at her until she answered. ”A mocha please,” she said and smiled at the young guy who took the orders.

“I said thank you elegantly.” “You curtsied,” Bianna said. “Because I have culture.” I walked over to the island and picked up one of the cups from the cooler still sitting open. The label was neat, ivory white, the lettering embossed. Portland Artisan Gelato. Pistachio Sicilian. Dark Chocolate Sea Salt. Vanilla Bean. Strawberry Mascarpone. Dulce de leche. I stopped at the last flavor. Dulce de leche. Bianna’s eyes followed mine. “That one hasn’t been opened. He said maybe the adults would like it.”
