A small coffee shop opens on Pine Street. The windows are clean, and the lights are warm. Ben walks in to try a cup.
The menu is simple: coffee, tea, and two cakes. Ben orders a latte and a slice of apple cake. The barista smiles and writes his name on a cup.
Ben sits near the window. He sees people pass with bags and umbrellas. The latte is hot and sweet. The cake is soft.
Before he leaves, Ben takes a photo of the sign. He sends it to his sister with a note: 'New place. Nice taste.' He plans to come again.
