There's something to be said about immersing yourself in culture, wherever you are. Coffee is loved all around the world, yet, so different almost anywhere you go. There are so many unique cafes that bring different twists on your favorite caffeinated drink, and pastries that will make you purchase the whole batch. For all you coffee lovers out there, I am giving a small list of the most unique cafes across the globe and what they have to offer that is unique to their own.
1. The Coffee Academics
Located in Hong Kong, this incredibly elegant café is sure to keep you in there for hours. Their specialty coffee drinks are decorated with organic agave nectar, giving every drink a sweet note that sounds to die for.
2. Forty Ninth Parallel Coffee Shop
Coffee and incredible pastries are not something I think Vancouver is known for, but this coffee shop definitely looks like it can change that. This cute little café is home to “Lucky's" doughnuts with specialty icing on top. If you're not already sold, you can try pairing a doughnut with one of their vanilla lattes.
3. O'Henrys Coffees
Down South, people take their food very seriously, and this concept is no different for Alabama's O'Henrys coffee shop. Their most popular item on the menu is four shots of espresso with just a hint of milk -- talk about a caffeine shock. I'm almost positive it gets pretty busy there during finals week from the local colleges.
4. Macaron Café
This café in New York, New York could quite possibly be a bakery I will fall in love with. The atmosphere of this café is very bright, fun, and instantly puts you in a good mood. They offer a variety of coffees, teas, bakery selections, and, of course, a multitude of macaroons to satisfy every customer. What is more perfect than a pink-colored macaroon and a caramel latte on a sunny afternoon? The answer is nothing.
5. Coutume Café
As seen in the picture below, this café gives a very modern feel located in the famous city of love. When in Paris, France, I picture the perfect date in a unique little coffee shop that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. After all, your significant other and a cup of coffee is the perfect combo to embrace the romantic culture.
