This cafe feels like a spot from the 19th century. From the outside, you’ll find two wooden houses that join on the porch. Through one door is a bustling cafe and through the other door is a calm coffee & tea house with an unusual list of brews that extend across all the walls. It’s a lovely spot with lots of comfortable chairs upstairs and downstairs that’ll be cosy for the winter.

Similar in spirit and atmosphere is The Rimsky Korsakoffee House in Portland, Oregon. Serving yummy coffee, tea and deserts since 1980, locals have been coming in for after-dinner treats but despite it looking closed from outside, you can pop in during the day too. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop in! I visited the cafe last October and the menu may very well have changed but if not, I recommend the warm lavender milk!
