there’s something special about cafes — the sounds of laughter, conversations, stirring of iced drinks 🧊and the smell of pastries, coffee ☕️ and food. why do you like visiting cafes?sat, july 12, 1:00pmthat afternoon, i was visiting @nonni.to cafe & bakery and as i stood up to capture the cafe’s interior, two strangers (a couple) started chatting with me about cameras and it turns out that the husband wanted to get a camera lens to pursue his creative passions. his wife encouraged him to take the leap and i joined in —there was something special about that moment… learning about someone else’s passion and being able to cheer them on in their creative journey.#visualdiary #ad [nonni, nonni cafe and bakery, cafe hopping, toronto cafe, new toronto cafe] by @bitswithdeb

visiting cafes is better experienced with less people — i woke up early to visit this cafe. this was when they had just officially opened. i spent hours here while sipping matcha 🍵 and taking in the quiet of the morning 🌅its soo aesthetic with so much attention paid to its interior design! if you’re ever planning to spend time at a cafe, consider getting there early to really catch a glimpse of what it’s like before it gets busy. day: 6/7 - one more day then back to scheduled programmingcafe: @17baldwinst photos: me @visualsbydeb @debxcafes [cafe, toronto cafe, toronto cafes, rooms coffee, coffee, matcha, matcha latte, cafe interior design] by @bitswithdeb

mundane things that bring me joy these days 🌼i hope it encourages you to find joy in the small things! lately, i’ve been having a hard time with routine — i got tired of doing the same things over and over again. soon enough as i started to do activities that were outside my usual pace of life 🍃, i began to see the beauty in the mundane and value it a lot more. 💬 what mundane things bring you joy?Day 5/7 - posting content everyday is intense. missed yesterday’s post but here’s another one. 2 more days to go![mundane, routine, riding the bus, eating alone, people watching, small things, joy in small things] by @bitswithdeb
