Sunlit Botanical & Specialty Coffee Spots
Hands down my favorite vibe! It’s a traditional Korean Hanok building transformed into a trendy bakery cafe. Sitting on the floor mats with a fresh pastry and an iced latte is an unforgettable experience.
Cafe Onion Anguk (Seoul, South Korea)
Small, ultra-minimalist coffee bar perched right along the Katsura River. Grabbing their signature Spanish Latte and sitting by the riverbank during golden hour is pure perfection.
% Arabica Kyoto Arashiyama (Kyoto, Japan)
Love the huge glass skylight and the massive vertical indoor garden wall! The beans are flown in fresh from Colombia, making their pour-overs ridiculously good.
Devoción Coffee (Brooklyn, New York, USA)
Feels like entering a magical garden fairytale. It’s a huge heritage enclave filled with lush plants, outdoor coffee carts, and amazing brunch options.
The Grounds of Alexandria (Sydney, Australia)
Super chic green-and-white aesthetic right in the heart of London. Their dark roast espresso paired with a warm chocolate chip cookie is my go-to treat.
Ralph's Coffee at New Bond Street (London, UK)
Historic European Coffee Houses & Quiet Nooks
Drinking coffee here makes you feel like 19th-century royalty! High vaulted ceilings, live piano music, and the best traditional Austrian sachertorte cake in town.
Cafe Central (Vienna, Austria)
Right next to the famous independent bookstore overlooking the Seine River and Notre-Dame. The ideal spot to read a book while sipping organic fair-trade coffee.
Shakespeare and Company Cafe (Paris, France)
An iconic historic espresso bar open since the 1930s. They use a secret wood-fired roasting method that creates the thickest, creamiest coffee foam you’ll ever try.
Sant' Eustachio Caffè (Rome, Italy)
Stunning Belle Époque architecture with massive Belgian mirrors and stained glass. Walking inside feels like stepping back in time to the early 1900s.
Confeitaria Colombo (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
A sleek, contemporary bakery cafe famous for their savory pastries and artisanal brews. Get their famous 'Rebel Within' muffin if you visit!
Craftsman and Wolves Valencia (San Francisco, USA)
Scenic Waterfront & Concept Cafes
The architecture here is mind-blowing! It’s built like a massive monumental amphitheater merged with a lush garden canopy. Amazing place for photos and evening coffee.
Tanatap Frame Garden, Jakarta, Indonesia
Housed in an airy industrial loft with massive windows and exposed brick. It’s my top recommendation if you need a cozy corner to get some work done on your laptop.
Toby's Estate (West Village)
A charming French bistro-style cafe tucked inside Pike Place Market. Grab a window seat, order a warm cafe au lait, and enjoy the cozy rainy day Seattle vibes.
Cafe Campagne (Seattle, USA)
The ultimate spot for matcha purists! They serve 100% organic, ceremonial-grade matcha whisked right in front of you in a serene, warm-wood setting.
THE MATCHA TOKYO Omotesando ten - Meiji Jingumae/Tea stand
A legendary Aussie coffee hub famous for their self-serve 'coffee tap bar' where you can pour your own specialty cold brews on tap. Super fun concept!
