Well, when it comes to a place where everything is too expensive for me, I think of the coffee shop that was built near my house last year. The coffee shop was built near my house last Christmas, and my friend and I decided to go there to take a picture. When we first got there, we were intrigued by the greenery overlooking a small lake. The interior, with warm tones, cozy seating, and soft lighting, created a gentle atmosphere that I always enjoy in my daily routine. As I walked in, I was surprised by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. But then I looked at the menu and realized that the cost here is nearly three times what it should be. The prices are just for small portions, but they are excessively expensive. I decided to try the shop's signature coffee and a small piece of cake. It was good, but I felt like I was paying more for the ambiance than the actual food and drink, which seemed only suitable for adults with higher incomes. However, I think it's really nice to hang out with friends. My friends and I also enjoyed the experience, despite the high prices.
