Anyone else have too much fun this weekend? We’re kidding, there’s no such thing.
But you’re going to need something to remedy your weekend of fun, so we thought we’d point you to some chill spots around our beloved city for you to ease out of the weekend high.
1. Bardel Café, Tabaris
This wonderfully quirky café and eatery is known for its specialty roasts and cozy spaces to complete their chill vibes. You can enjoy your caffeine fix from the comfort of their indoor seating, or you can enjoy the sunlight in their outdoor setup.
2. Flat White, Mar Mikhael
Flat White stole our coffee-loving hearts with their specialty coffee, packaged in the cutest cans that are perfect for some coffee on the go. With its soft lighting and minimalistic setup, you’re guaranteed a relaxing visit that’s easy on the eyes (especially if you spent your Saturday night with loud music and flashing neon lights).
3. Goodmen, Clemenceau
For a slightly fancier destination, Goodmen is the place to enjoy a glass of wine on their outdoor terrace with a few delectable bites that are both light and filling. Maybe you weren’t ready to let go of the weekend vibes, so a visit to Goodmen will be a good transition into your work week.
4. Kawaii, Monot
Arguably the most kawaii stop in Monot, this colorful café is as pink and dreamy as it gets. With their fluffy Japanese cheesecakes and unbeatable blended strawberry shake, you’re in for a great serotonin boost that will make your Monday more bearable.
5. Pinch Moi, Gemmayze
The quirky spot you didn’t know you needed, Pinch Moi is a concept store and café where you can enjoy skimming through unique additions to your wardrobe after savoring an exceptional caramelized pineapple cake. This colorful and cheerful spot will make any not-so-morning person crack a smile.
