iHeart Cafe

In a mountainside, this cafe resides,

full of glass, wood, and vibe.

It’s morning, far before the rush hour. I step in, look around, and pick a spot by the large glass windows that frame the green mountains. I open my book and order a coffee.
Murmuring hums blend with the gentle songs of my soul. Plates and forks clink softly. My heart finds its place here.

A cafe crafted with care and warmth. Black and brown tones create a cozy ambiance, and flowers spill outside, adding color to the view. There’s enough space to house families and friends comfortably.

My coffee arrives, warm and rich.
I look around: vintage bulbs hang from the ceiling, suspended on copper pipes—a bold, open design that exposes the air conditioner lines and beams. Some might opt to close them off and hang bulbs from rustic jute ropes, but this openness feels intentional, raw, and refreshing.

Each table is set with seasoning bottles in both glass and plastic—though all-glass would add a nice touch. Every table has a tag with a QR code linking to the cafe’s Instagram page, which caught my interest.

A mix of sofa chairs, canteen chairs, and stools—each at varying heights—provides flexibility for customers, while wood planks form the table tops held up by black steel frames. A warm, natural theme of light brown and black flows consistently through the space.

Outside, there’s ample parking, and the old-school brick walls, inside and out, add a traditional charm beneath the slanting roofs. A playful mural catches my eye—a fluffy cheetah with specs, a cap, and a muffler, holding a warm coffee cup, watching me as I write. The floor combines warm wood with dark gray tiles.

I wonder how it looks at night, with only warm lights casting shadows around. Perhaps a blend of warm and white lights would balance the effect beautifully. The sound system might benefit from multiple smaller speakers to maintain consistent volume throughout the cafe.
