The cafe was warm. Sweaty even. From the outside the windows were covered in steam. He didn’t understand why, until he opened the door. Tea, the cafe really only did tea. He hadn’t seen this before. There was no large espresso machine proudly displayed for you to see or a barista judging your order. Just one guy, and maybe someone else in the back.
“Hello, and welcome.”
“Hello, uh I’m looking for someone.”
The guy nodded, and with a smile said “aren’t we all man. Aren’t we all.”
He looked around the place then back to the tea guy.
“Maybe I’m the early one.” He wanted to go outside and check the name. Wanted to bury himself in his phone.
“Well while your waiting you should try this. Nothing special, but a nice tea.”
He handed him a small mug, sort of a saucer with out a handle.
“It’s jasmine, so a little flowery but it’s nice. Not too much caffeine if your worried.”
He felt like the guy had read his mind. He smiled and appreciated it. He didn’t really like the other guy being there, but he was right it was nice. He wondered what the other guy would order.
