May 18, 2012 “God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.”
God gives us the coffee beans too, but it’s up to us to do the roasting. Or we could visit one of two cafes, both called Kafka. Fitting, no?
Cafe KAFKA in Barcelona, Spain is located in the El Born neighborhood. Known for its Gothic architecture, Café KAFKA fits right in. With modern and eclectic décor that you would imagine would suit its namesake’s tastes.
Capture a window seat and you’ll be rewarded with a view of the modernist structure of Mercat del Born, a late-19th-century produce market built of iron and glass.
Café KAFKA Carrer de la Fusina, 7 08003 Barcelona 933 100 526 http://www.cafekafka.es/ *************************************************************************Kafka also said, “Idleness is the beginning of all vice, the crown of all virtues.” And where better to be idle than in a cafe?
If you can’t make it to Spain, you can always set about on a road trip and visit our northern neighbors in Vancouver, Canada. Kafka’s Coffee & Tea in Mount Pleasant is our Reader’s Choice this week. They are “serious about coffee and not much else.” Stop by to have a laugh and try their delicious brews.
Kafka’s Coffee and Tea 2525 Main St Vancouver, BC V5T 3E5 (604) 569-2967 http://www.kafkascoffee.ca *****************************************************************************Not near any of these locations?
