The floor-cushion comfort of Kopi Cafe
There’s no WiFi at this 35-year-old cafe, which tends to take you off screens and on to more analog interactions. And wherever that leads you, whether it’s talking to people, or keeping to your thoughts or reading material, the place forms strong associations.
Not enough? Listen in on neighboring conversations, particularly those near the front window, because chances are eavesdropping will be interesting and easy. The low wooden tables are made for casually lounging on the floor, with larger square ones for group hangs or the smaller variety meant for solo excursions. There’s plenty of comfort from soft cushions of various sizes and colors that are in plentiful supply. Sit back and absorb the chatter about topics ranging from trips abroad, identities diverging from the straight and narrow, new projects, or the latest artistic kicks.
