Cafés for grey afternoons, slow mornings, and staying a little longer than planned.
When the rain changes the plan
Rain has a way of changing how a city is used. The walk gets shorter, the next stop matters more, and a café that might normally be good for twenty minutes can suddenly hold an entire afternoon.
The ones in this collection aren’t here simply because they serve good coffee. They’re places with something worth staying for: a window onto a grey street, a room that feels particularly good when it’s overcast, somewhere to read, talk quietly, or watch the weather without needing it to improve.
From La Coruña to Kyoto, these are six cafés we’d happily choose when going elsewhere can wait.
