Out of the many things I miss about the “old normal,” being able to enjoy a cup of coffee at a cafe was one of the things I longed for the most. After all, coffee always seemed to hit differently when it was made with freshly roasted beans and served in only the most aesthetic glasses or mugs.
To remedy this, I splurged on bottled brews from just about every cafe that offered takeout or delivery. But a few too many orders later, I decided that putting together my own home cafe would be a more worthwhile investment. From finding the perfect espresso machine to stocking up on coffee essentials, it turned out to be quite a fun experience. My favourite part, however, would have to be shopping for glasses and coffee cups that provided that cafe aesthetic.
The great news: You can find the cutest ceramics and glassware for your very own home cafe with almost no trouble. There are so many gorgeous pieces to choose from — and a lot of them are budget-friendly, too! To narrow down your options, we’re sharing some of our top picks with you. All you need to do is add your faves to your cart!
