Around them, customers queue at the counter, and a barista deftly crafts beverages, all under the glow of a snug interior as light snow dusts the world outside. I anticipate they’ll prolong their stay, relishing the warmth and treats, while the barista continues to bustle, meeting the steady demand of the winter day.
