After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1446

Chapter 1446: Chocolate, Coffee, and Sweets

Other than the Pharmacy and the Post Office, the new shops that were established on that street were also very lively.

The most popular ones were the cafes, which sold coffee and chocolate!

They had just been made commercially available, and the Supermarket was understandably quick to lose stock.

There was no way: these two products were gold!!

To the Terrans, it was filled with more than just the taste (which was glorious), but the appeal was more about the nostalgia and memories of a peaceful past.

For aborigines, it was a totally new taste they couldn’t help but be addicted to!!

There was understandably a huge demand for it, and fast-thinking merchants were quick to jump on the bandwagon.

However, it was still a new product in the end, and it was barely enough to satisfy the Alterran population. How could they cater to outsiders?

A few people managed to secure supply deals with Miss Althea, and it was unavailable to outsiders for now to bulk-buy. All they could do was buy within the purchase limits in the supermarket.

Of course, when it first appeared, the aborigines didn’t exactly know what the fuss was about (the supermarket was packed with crazed customers when it was sold), so they didn’t really fight too hard for the deals.

Until they entered the newly opened stores in Post Street, that is.

At this time, there were two shops in the street selling coffee and chocolate, owned by the Farrol brothers¹, who created a team that was filled with food experts.

One was more of a coffee shop that offered varying caffeinated drinks from hot coffee and tea, with each one having a vast array of choices. This had a learning curve for the aborigines, but they were all about learning about this fascinating new type of drink.

It also had snacks like bread and dessert that would fit well with caffeine. For example, Citrus-based desserts like lemon bars and orange tarts, which had a bright, zesty flavor to create a refreshing contrast with the savory taste of coffee.

There was also the almond biscotti, with its slightly crunchy texture and a subtle sweetness that paired wonderfully with the drinks.

Other snacks included oatmeal cookies, cheese, and crackers, and so on.

There were also a few dark chocolate desserts, wherein it could enhance the effect of the caffeine, and the chocolate’s bitterness complemented the coffee’s.

Speaking of chocolates, the other shop had a quirkier design and focused on desserts, with the specialty menu being mostly cocoa-based.

Both stores had long queues during the first few days since they were opened. The aborigines, who didn’t know what it was about at the time, knew it must be a good thing.

Since they were rich though, they hired people to line up for them. This practice had become so lucrative that a group of people rose. They called themselves ’professional queuer’ who did this job as a (in their words) ’profitable part-time side chick’.

Anyway, upon entering, one could feel the unusual ambiance of the place. The layout was comfy and inviting, and it had bright colors that accented the overall peach and white undertones of the interior.

They offered a variety of other desserts like fruit cakes, cookies, tarts, and the like. There was also a new type of candy that was bought by small bags and was designed to be smaller than normal candies.

Emenems were basically chocolate that had a candied exterior that allowed it to melt in their mouth and not in their hands.

They also offered drinks like milk tea, cold chocolate drinks and so on...

The main attraction though was the chocolate desserts, which the aborigines tasted for the first time and the Terrans craved so much for. For those who were already taking a bite of the dessert, it really looked like they were ready to die in satisfaction.

This was what the couple Hilda and Orion saw as they entered the establishment. It was really crowded for the two who preferred solace, though they also felt a bit curious not to leave the queue.

They looked at the tables with the people eating having expressions of bliss, and then at each other.
