Some of the most beautiful cafe interiors I’ve ever seen taken primarily in Korea and Japan. Some of my favorite repeated themes throughout the posts and cafes are working with limited amounts of space, balancing furnished and cluttered, and the emphasis on hi-fi audio systems. Certainly makes me want to seek out more interesting interiors in the states, vs the sleek-line and somewhat sterile current trend in nicer cafes.
Where else can you get a pot of tea and cake until 3 in the morning? Ugh, it’s awesome. They have a bunch of old chairs and artwork in there. When I’m in cafe Reggio I’m always like why isn’t every cafe like this? Why does every cafe look like a scandinavian wet dream? I want table service. I want coffee mugs. To go shouldn’t even be an option. To go where? You’re already here.
currently Not experiencing this and wish i was. i know that me lingering here on my laptop isn’t good business and this hostile ass architecture will drive me out sooner than later, but i think something’s fucked about the state of spaces like this if customer turnover is the goal. we’re in a cozy cafe drought
there's something so comforting about this aesthetic and how it always takes you back to a place. i'm obsessed with the concept of third spaces, so my mind drifts to a coffee shop with some norah jones track playing on the background while people chat about the mundane yet beautiful.
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
