Softer Volumes: Cafes - Coffee Table Book

In addition to stunning photography by some of the world’s best architecture and interior photographers, each café feature includes key information such as details on the design of the space—including who it was designed by and the inspiration behind it—as well as notes on the atmosphere and focus of the menu.

Handpicked by our editors and contributors, 100 cafés are showcased with stunning imagery, with an additional 190 in text. At the end of each region’s section there is the list of additional recommendations, providing suggestions of more design-focused cafés and specialty coffee shops to visit on your next trip or in your own city.
