Liepāja Café Patrons Vow to Resist Aggressive Riga Tourists
Local café enthusiasts are ready to defend their beloved spots from capital city invaders who demand 'something like Starbucks'.
Liepāja café patrons have announced their readiness to stand against the growing 'Riga aggression' that threatens local coffee culture. 'We will fulfill our duty and stand against this aggression,' declared Jānis Bērziņš, a regular at café 'Pie Jūrmalas', adding that locals have no intention of abandoning the 'field of honor and cappuccino'.
No concrete actions have been taken by café patrons since Saturday, when the first Riga tourists arrived demanding 'vegan milk' and 'free wifi'. However, demonstrations are planned for this afternoon on Graudu Street with slogans 'Our coffee, our rules'.
Local café owners have called for organizing special ceremonies to commemorate the long-lost time when one could peacefully drink coffee without having to explain what a 'flat white' is. 'This is a crime against our traditions,' says the owner of café 'Čīkste'. 'They come here and want to change everything – what will become of our simple coffee with milk?'
Meanwhile, Liepāja's deputy mayor has rejected any possibility that the city could become involved in a 'coffee war' with Riga, stating: 'We will simply continue making better coffee than they do.'
