Warming Ourselves Up with Coffee In The Cold, Looking at Books in Barnes&Nobles and Having Some Delicious Turkish Food

                                           Coffee at Coco Bar                          

 On Sunday my friend, Esmeralda and I decided to go to  a cafe in Park Slope which was recommended by a friend. The cafe we decided to go for our next coffee adventure was Cocoa Bar. It's a small coffee shop filled with many treats and goodies and warms up a person on a cold wintry day. Since it was cold on Sunday and Esmeralda and I was shivering while walking to this place. We finally reached our destination. There are seating's in the front, back and if it's a warm weather there is outdoor seatings. They only don't serve coffee but they also have chocolates, cake slices, cupcakes and for some people who like to drink or lets say party hard they serve wine(I'm not sure if they only serve it on the night). There chocolates look nice as well, it's not your typical Hershey chocolate bar, they have the chocolate pieces with different flavors. The seating arrangements are okay but they could be better. I believe the front seatings is the best if it is not packed that is a good place to sit. I wasn't a fond of the back seating's arrangement.
   Esmeralda ordered a hot chocolate and a huge marshmallow with it and she ordered a muffin. As you know every time I go to a new coffee shop I like to try a new drink. So, I decided to order one of the specialties drink it was called white coconut passion and an almond croissant. Esmeralda loved her hot chocolate with her big marshmallow, it made her drink more delicious and amazing. For my drink the white coconut passion, it kind of felt weird at first because I never had a coconut coffee flavored. It smelled too coconutty and stingy. But, when I took the first sip it was actually pretty amazing it was sweet. Also, I loved my almond croissant.

 

Barnes&Nobles

  We realized the place was getting packed so we quickly finished up our drinks and decided to go to Barnes&Nobles because it was a couple of blocks away from Cocoa Bar. We were just looking around and seeing the cool stuff and the new books that Barnes&Nobles had. I loved how they had a Hagrid doll and also they had new stuff for the Harry Potters fans. Then we checked out more books and decided to head out and get some food.

Istanbul Park Restaurant 

 We decided to go to a Turkish restaurant called Istanbul Park, it was a cute Turkish place with amazing paints and there were not a lot of people in that place. They had amazing Turkish music on. Esmeralda ordered a chicken gyro and I ordered a lamb shish kebab. I loved it but I wish they gave more rice and less of the salad because I am not a salad person. After we were done eating we grabbed some peppermints because they have this thing where there are peppermints before leaving the place. We decided to eat our coffee adventure and go home to rest on that chilly day.
