Sometimes, a restaurant becomes more than just a place to eat. ❤️
This week, one of our longtime customers came in to celebrate her birthday.
She told us she wanted to keep it quiet and simple this year. She had recently gone through heart surgery and a valve replacement, and it had been a very difficult journey.
She didn’t want a big celebration or to be in the spotlight, so we respected that and didn’t film her.
But we still wanted to do something small for her.
So after work, even though I was exhausted, I went home and made a little birthday balloon gift for her. 🎈
Because after knowing someone for so many years, they stop feeling like “just a customer.”
They become part of the story of your restaurant.
And honestly, we never know how many more birthdays we’ll get to celebrate together.
So if we can make someone feel a little special today,
why not?
It’s little moments like this that remind us why we love what we do.
Thank you for letting CAFE DE TAIPEI be a small part of your life. ❤️
Happy Birthday! 🎂🎈
We hope there are many more birthdays to celebrate together.
P.S.
Okay… enough with the emotional stuff. 😂
I also learned that apparently THIS is not my best camera angle.
My double chin really showed up and decided to be part of the celebration too. 🤣
I guess I need to learn how to film myself better.
Next time, I’ll do better. 😂
