It was a small cafe, the sign that hung outside appeared wider than the shop itself. The logo was a purple monkey with a large cup of coffee in his hand, it read "Worlds Grapest Coffee". Once inside the first thing you notice is the place smells like brewed heaven, not like those fru-fru places with all their exotic flavors, this was just good ole coffee aroma, thick in the air and delicious to the nose. As far as the ambiance, there wasn't any, no pretension here. The wooden floor was old, worn and uneven, It almost felt like you were standing on the deck of a small boat in the middle of a storm, if you didn't know better, you would swear the tables and chairs could come sliding your way at any moment. The counter looked like it was installed in the 80’s it had a blue gray formica top with tiny speckles. The woman who took my order had these remarkable sea green eyes, I was taken aback immediately when I saw them, she wore a white button up blouse  with a black apron wrapped around her waist, the kind with a pouch in the front. Short slim, long dark, chestnut brown hair with a contagious smile, definitely not hard on these old eyes. When asking for my order, her voice had a smokey jazzy feel to it, adding yet another layer of soothingness to the place. I ordered a regular coffee, black with two sugars
