I love this community and the places in my homeland that are considered coffee shops; I really don't know exactly why I love these magical places full of stories, culture and my own concept; I don't drink coffee but without a doubt I am filled with joy when I not only visit a coffee shop and I get to interview its creators but I connect with everything it has to offer.
It all happened after leaving an oriental food restaurant where we were offered a delicious tasting but that is not what I want to tell. This time it was not a visit as an official representative of the Program, much less a scheduled one. It all happened after leaving an oriental food restaurant where we were offered a delicious tasting but that is not what I want to tell. I remembered that nearby was the famous cafeteria and sandwich shop Orígenes and I rushed there because I saw that just hours before they were preparing a kind of bazaar or just demonstrations; at that moment I was not sure what it was. A very friendly and super prepared employee was very comfortable and I asked her permission to take pictures and she graciously agreed. My desire to get to know the place and feel an enormous desire to stay increased when I asked her about the menu and to give me detailed information about what I was observing while the girl held the menu in her hand. And there is more... They serve tapas with drinks in the Spanish style, an environment of a conceptual mini garden for the client's disposition and acquire some of the plants if they wish, they have a bulk sale of more than 100 products among them are the condiments and spices. Come, I told you that in the title that this Cafeteria is definitely very well thought out, it is not just any place and something that I value a lot from this experience was that I was able to clearly see my future and I thought about the name of my enterprise and even what it would be like. It would be under the concept of Vincent Van Gogh's Painting, especially the cafe on a terrace and open at night to enjoy musical art, poetry, painting and the menu thinking about how to fall in love under a starry night.
As moderator of a radio program titled: "tajada y Paladar" where our goal is to talk about the best places in my city to eat and drink something, cafes are no exception. So I totally enjoy the cafes is as if I were a curious child exploring and with that capacity for wonder that we do not lose at that age is what makes each experience unique.
Well, when I arrived I was accompanied by a friend of the program that he had already visited the site, so he served as my companion and guide but the place was not open to the public. At that moment they were preparing for an event and that was what I had seen as I passed by, however they made a short pause to attend me and ask my respective questions.
Guess what!
The Orígenes coffee shop is not just any idea that arises from any need, let alone lightly; no, no, no.... Not at all! Its creator is nothing more and nothing less than a Neurogastronomist. That's right gentlemen of this beautiful community, a specialist in the area of knowing how a person thinks, how he feels every taste and aroma of everything a person can taste and what he looks for to allow him to stay with the origins of the place and his own, in addition to what he thinks, what he feels, what he does with all those sensations and emotions where the magic of processing and storing information and processing it occurs.
Even more my surprise was to see everything connected; each product with each concept, each name, each detail, the colors, the desserts, plus the fusion of two important cultures: Venezuelan and Spanish. They work with our products such as blue coffee, a coffee produced in the state of Portuguesa but with a history rooted in the technique of selection of the bean referring to the blue color and in turn to a chocolate flavor that just hearing chocolate ... ummm my mouth is watering!!!! I declare myself an eternal lover of this delicious food.
