A romantic cafe with a barista, a roaster and an English small Earth Travel Coffee Life.

When was the last time you felt this way?

It should be in Rome.

An Italian family kitchen next to the wishing pool

When I ate the best egg bacon noodles I've ever had.

I really think

For this bowl of noodles

It's worth flying all over the world.

Go to Luoyang this time

In Lopu Park

Park 1702 Cafe

A glass house full of sunshine and flowers

I had a lunch that I could taste and cook carefully.

Drink another cup of fine coffee extracted by a careful and professional siphon pot.

The wood was roasting in the fireplace

Choose a comfortable sofa

Basking in the sun

Dozed off happily.

Wake up and be overjoyed

It's worth the long journey.

The first time I came here, I felt so kind.

A flower and a grass in the shop

Barista and host

They all feel as comfortable as this store.

If someone comes, you don't want to leave.

Youyou is on the line between the residence and the cafe at two o'clock.

Unwittingly, a week passed.

And I don't feel like I've stayed enough.

one

Exist for a good cup of coffee

Listen to them talk about coffee.

Watch them make coffee.

It seems to boil the story into the coffee.

Have a cup of coffee from Galapagos.

I haven't had such pure but layered coffee for a long time.

That's the island I've always wanted.

Even the air in here is organic.

"Organic" is a word that is more and more used in English conversation.

Used to describe something that comes from the heart and comes from nature

When I came over in the morning, I saw my host Yan Lin planting flowers in the music and warm sun.

The room smells like coffee, flowers, music and chat.

The two baristas studied recipes when they were not busy.

I really envy the people of Luoyang

With such a beautiful cafe and such a good barista

The most beautiful love is not as happy as this cup of hot chocolate.

It was very cold in Luoyang that day. As soon as I entered the cafe, I especially wanted to have a cup of hot chocolate, purely for the satisfaction of guilt. Yan Lin said that their hot chocolate tastes good. Youyou thinks he has drunk a lot of delicious hot chocolate and has seen the world. Unexpectedly, it was tasted so good. Full-bodied but not greasy, smooth and delicate, MUJI's marshmallow heat keeps a smooth appearance inside, but the heart is so soft that it melts at the entrance, and I'm about to float.

Youjun and Yan Lin asked for a few more marshmallows to go to the fireplace and sit on the ground, as happy as a child.

The most romantic coffee rose latte

The last time Youyou drank a surprise fancy latte was in a cafe in Vancouver, which was a lavender latte.

This time in the park of 1702 in Luoyang, I saw someone order a rose latte with petals, and I couldn't help but order a cup. Sitting at a wooden table covered with flowers, drinking a coffee latte with a faint scent of flowers and milk, looking out of the window at Lopu Park in winter, I really don't want to go anywhere.

It must be the same with other guests in the store.

I'm going to retire here.

New year's Eve was spent with friends in the cafe in 1702. Youjun made as much dinner as he could, Scottish eggs, fried chicken steak, baked mushrooms and cheese. I may not remember anything else. There are no photos for somehow dinner, maybe because of red wine, whisky or white wine? Who remembers. Who cares. Everyone sat around the fireplace, baked supermarket popcorn on the stove, and played table topics table games brought back from abroad. Everyone took turns drawing cards and answering questions on the cards. This game really allows people to get to know each other quickly.

The beauty of life always makes people feel the urge to cook. In the New year, Youjun borrowed the cafe kitchen to make a brunch for everyone.

Benedict waffle sandwich (egg benedict on waffles)

Baked mashed potato cake (baked loaded mashed patato)

Plum cheese sandwich (butter poached plum tartine)

Ferrero hazelnut chocolate banana roll (nutella banana rolls)

When I was cleaning up after dinner, I told Yan Lin that 1702 must be kept open all the time. When I am old, you will build a room on the roof for me to live in. I will come here to provide for the aged. At that time, we have to arrange flowers, cook, make coffee, take care of each other, and run the house to the end. She said, OK, wait for you.

About Dreams and Cafe

Youjun is often asked, "you like coffee so much, why not open your own coffee shop?"

In fact, I prefer to watch others live their dreams. To be able to walk in this world unexpectedly, pass by other people's dream of running a coffee shop, or communicate deeply or shallowly, this way is more suitable for me now.
