Steemit Engagement Challange III | STEEM CULINARY CONTEST in Steem Entrepreneurs | Sensi Café & Bar in Cumaná, Venezuela, by @marlyncabrera
Hi, Steem Entrepreneurs Community!
This is my first entry ever in this community and my 4/7 in the 3rd Week of Steemit Engagement Challenge.
If you want to participate in this contest, go here: Steemit Engagement Challange III | STEEM CULINARY CONTEST, and make sure to follow all the rules.
Cumaná is my hometown, and this coffee & bar is near my house. We're quite near the beach because my city is on the coast.
If you walk along the coast, you will find beautiful beaches. The waether is hot--extremely, sometimes--and a bit humid. Our sun is super radiant and tourists will appreciate directions to any nice place where they can cool off and eat well, to replenish energy after a day at the beach or walking through the sunny streets of my city.
When you stand near Sensi, you feel you want to get in and spend a long while there.
I'll tell you about my experience there today, and I will show you several photos of the place and food. My review will cover food, service and ambiance according to the rules of the contest, only that not in that order. I'll tell you about location, ambiance, our order and the service.
Location, Location, Location
Cumana is the capital of Sucre State in Venezuela. In spite of being a privileged region for its beautiful marine, river and mountain landscapes, my city has many problems due to the poor administration of its spaces, i.e. corruption and bad policies for tourism and the environment. Crime is to be taken into consideration; for this last reason, if you are a tourist in my city, you will want to have a good guide to keep you away from dangerous areas. This takes us to the first advantage to visiting Sensi Café & Bar.
- Sensi Café & Bar location is safe for both pedestrians and drivers.
It's located on 5ta transversal between Santa Rosa and Urdaneta streets. This street has become a small "ecosystem". Here operate business centers and stores and both the street and its buildings are well maintained, and the ornate street is beautifully landscaped. It is always crowded, but with enough space for parking, which makes you feel safe, as you are always in good company.
Bus stops are two blocks away. You can also take a 20-minute walk downtown.
As you can see above, if you are at Sensi, you are 5 streets away from the beach. If your driving your car, it'll take you 3 minutes to reach the beach. It's a 30-minute walk.
Ambiance
- Sensi's decor and atmosphere sooths customers.
From the facade, you can notice that the decoration is close to minimalist.
There is a lot of wood, stone, and earth colors with some details in orange and red, which brighten up the view and remind us of the peace of the oriental culture.
I think it is no coincidence that I have not yet heard anyone raise their voice inside Sensi. One breathes peace.
I knew this was the perfect place to have a nice talk with my dear comadre. Below you can see her on the right. Notice that natural light is bright and agreable. It's almost 4:30 p.m.
This was the outside area, where you order coffee and desserts.
You can take your order to the indoor area, where they have air conditioning.
...Which we did.
If you wish, you can buy cheeses and different kinds of charcuterie and meat products. I'll show you this in the photos below.
You can also buy sodas, beers, and other alcoholic beverages (wine, rum, whiskey). You can see them below.
Our Order & How Much We Paid
- Both coffees and desserts are delciious and fresh.
Outside, they serve hot and cold coffees and desserts.
You can see the menu below.
They don't have a wide variety of desserts nowadays, but what they have is delicious: palmiers, cupcakes, pastry cookies, and yourt with fruit jams.
They have two big espresso machines and a good barista. You can see them below.
We ordered 1 frappuccino, 1 affogato, and two French palmier cookies and paid approx. $11, or 55 Steems.
You can see my receipt below.
The service was excellent. They take your order in the coffee area, which is outdoors, and you decide if you want to stay there and enjoy the breeze, or you can have your order brought inside, where there is air conditioning and more privacy.
The guys add what you consume during your stay to your bill, and you can pay at the end, before you leave.
Today I just had coffee and dessert. But I want to go back for beers soon.
I recommend coming to Sensi if you visit Cumana. Open 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Thank you for your visit.
Come back soon :D

Hola hermosita
Que bello Sensi Café-Bar... mucho junto en un mismo lugar. Super agradable ese lugar, para pasar un rato diferente en una buena compañía.
Me ha encantado, amiga. Gracias por invitarme. Seguro mañana estaré realizando mi entrada
Éxito rotundo!!!
El sitio sí es muy agradable. Los licores están un poco más caros que en otros sitios, pero la selección está bien variada y las neveras enfrían muy, muy bien.
Saludos y suerte el Reto 🥰
Super Nice tu visita a Sensi, me parece un lugar agradable con estilo y en el que puedes encontrar casi de todo.
Lo que consumieron luce exquisito, los frapucinos son ricos y refrescantes asumo que donde vives el clima es tropical así que cae genial algo frio jeje.
Suerte en el reto :)
Cumaná es costera y caliente, por lo que frecuentemente la humedad lo pone a uno todo pegajoso: cabello pegajoso, piel pegajosa, flojera pegajosa.
Por eso no dudé en pedir un par de cafés helados. Pero te confieso que si no hubiera tenido que hacer fotos, hubiese pedido un macchiatto sin azúcar y ya. Es el que más me gusta de todos los cafés en el mundo. Pero el pobre no iba a lucir en el post XD
Saludos y gracias por visitarme. Suerte en el Reto, @nahela :)
Hola amiga, me encanta Sensi, el café es excelente, me encantan los dulces, normalmente pedía un cannoli con crema pastelera que es demasiado rico, tengo tiempo que no lo visito, en estos días mi esposo me comento que iban a vender parrilla los viernes en la noche.
Muy buen post, se ve que disfrutaste de tu encuentro con tu comadre, buen post, te deseo suerte.
Hola, @marivic10. Qué cosas; lo de las parrillas no me lo esperaba. La verdad es que sí quedaría chévere allí, aunque habría que ver qué tal está el ambiente nocturno afuera. Hasta las 7:30 p.m. hay movimiento, pero luego que cierran los comercios, la calle queda sola. Ojalá la vida nocturna se reactivara en Cumaná; por los momentos, habría que ser valiente.
Saludos y gracias por pasar. Suerte en el Reto :)
Saludos amiga quede enamorada de ese lugar Sensi, cuando vaya a Cumaná voy a estar pendiente para visitarlo, me encantan que vendan cafés y dulces frescos, ya que es mi merienda favorita para disfrutar así como tu con un amiga teniendo una linda tertulia. Muy agradable la decoración , y sobretodo la paz que se refleja en el lugar. Mil bendiciones y mucho éxito en el reto.
Te darías un gustazo con los cafés y los dulces porque están deliciosos y a buen precio. Todo fresco.
La paz del lugar es lo que más me atrae. Es muy agradable.
Saludos y suerte en el Reto, @mvchacin 🥰
Hola @marlyncabrera que lindo lugar, me gusto mucho.
Se ve ameno para disfrutar de un buen café y aprovechar de hacer una compra.
Gracias por la invitacion.
Te deseo el mejor de los éxitos.
Feliz Noche😊
Hola, @bellana. En verdad, muy ameno. Y el café es una delicia, muy aromático además. Y si se te hace tarde, puedes aprovechar de llevar la cena a casa.
Espero ver tu entrada pronto y que tengas mucha suerte. Saludos 🥰
Hola Marlyn! Gracias por la invitación! Me encanta este café, la atención es genial y las palmeritas son muy ricas! No he probado el Frapuccino pero la presentación se ve muy linda!
