The cafe’s exudes laidback vibes and all the charms of seaside bars – think thatched-roof huts, wood floorboards, and palm trees. Walk a little further into the cafe and you’ll find a terrace jutting out into the sea for closer views of the waters.
The combination of beach chairs, umbrellas, cobalt blue cushions, and clear waters will transport you to a far-flung tropical island, namely Bora Bora, all without a passport.

To complete the Bora Bora vibes, the cafe has hammocks that overlook the aquamarine sea for patrons to laze on.
