How cafés are constantly pressured about their aesthetic, the trend that keeps growing globally, and the café I'm eyeing to visit
Love this blog! I get the same out of writing :) (and I love coffee and cafes probably to a concerning degree.)
Thanks so much Chloe 🥹 then that makes two of us !
Julie, you’ve captured the real value here: the coffee shop as a sanctuary. A place to simply be.
It’s a beautiful reminder that while efficiency demands a destination, humanity still demands the journey. Thank you for this dispatch.
Thanks a lot Peter! So glad it resonated with you.
You wrote about how coffee shops are moving from a product-focused approach to a "is my coffee shop Instagram-worthy" back in January and we are seeing that in action with Blank Street today ! Check out Bloomberg's coverage of the trend in their recent Blank Street case study: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-03-17/blank-street-bets-on-bigger-stores-matcha-drinks-to-become-gen-z-starbucks?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc3Mzg2NTIyNCwiZXhwIjoxNzc0NDcwMDI0LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUQzFEMDRLR1pBTlAwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiIwQUREODYyQzBFMTM0MEU4OEJFQTA0RkU1OUI1ODdBOCJ9.4AptzK6Yr2UNRCfTevcSsF0-kyLtNDaHLhJf0K6gV10
I did, thanks for sharing that with me :) This café world is really moving fast!
I really like this collection (saved a couple if reccos) and liked your images for the headers to give a distinct vibe to the newsletter design
that's super kind of you, thank you Ved!
Well Julie, sometimes the minimalism of "The Coffee" also makes for good photos 😉📸 https://davidcapri.com/the-coffee-cafeteria-de-especialidad/
Those are beautiful! I should have bought your pics for that post :)
☺️ Thank you, Julie! I’d love to collaborate next time ✨
Fantastic! 🥰
