Home sweet home.
One of my favorite décor styles is the design of European cafés and bistros. While I'd prefer to hop a plane and sip my au lait at an authentic Parisian two-top, it's easy enough to shop for my café furniture here in the US. From Thonet bentwood chairs and varnished metal Marais stools to cafe curtains and old timepieces, a few bistro-style items can recreate the look of a sidewalk Read more
Will Ferrell and Pearl Jam will be Conan O'Brien's first guests on The Tonight Show. — AP Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy are starring in Cafe, an indie drama about Philadelphia residents who frequent the local West Philly Grounds coffee shop where Love Hewitt's character works. — The Hollywood Reporter Katherine Heigl is submitting her name for Emmy consideration this year after her Read more
As I think about warmer weather and less rainy skies, I'm excited to spend more time outside at a sidewalk cafe. However, it's sometimes hard to get to a cafe to lounge at one of their outdoor tables, so I'm hoping to get one for my own house. I adore this Pensi Cafe Table (shown here), but at $692, it's a little out of my budget. To see a more economical alternative, read more Read more
I never thought I'd want to live in an old boxcar, until I saw this cheerful cafe built into a converted train on Treehugger. Located in Deptford, London, the pop-up shop is selling sustainably farmed coffee while the nearby train station, originally built in 1836, is being renovated. I'm surprised how sunny and spacious the space is. It makes me want to park an old train car outside my house Read more
Would you pay $20,000 for a pot of coffee? James Freeman did. When the man behind San Francisco's cult favorite Blue Bottle Coffee decided to open his first café — a step way above the original kiosk — he took the plunge and purchased a $20,000 halogen-powered coffee siphon bar. The bar, which is imported from Japan, is the only one like it in the US and is really a sight to behold. In Read more
Does Paris have room for another cafe? I guess that's a pretty silly question - sort of like asking whether or not I have room for another baked good (hint: the answer is always yes). However, does Paris have room for another McCafe? That's right a McCafe, as in McDonald's. Over the next two years, McDonald's is hoping to open 250 McDonald's-branded cafes in France. The move is being considered Read more
It was another chic week of social media snaps from our favorite celebrities, and this time around, we got a glimpse of the Cannes Film Festival, the Billboard Awards, and other star-studded moments of work and play. Solange Knowles showed off a chic print-mixing look, while Gisele Bundchen enjoyed a cup of hot cocoa at a Paris cafe. Jessica Stam partied with sailors during Fleet Week in NYC, and Read more
I'm a huge fan of ING Direct, and I just discovered that my favorite online bank will be opening a cafe near me in San Francisco later this year! It'll be the eighth ING cafe in the nation and the first one in the Bay Area. I find the concept of drinking coffee and eating at a place where I do my banking pretty novel, but it seems like Yelp users give it a thumbs up. According to reviews, people Read more
After Guinness, the Irish coffee is quite possibly Ireland's most famous drink. This hot cocktail is a mixture of coffee, whiskey, sugar, and cream. It's famous thanks to the Buena Vista Cafe, a San Francisco establishment that perfected the recipe in 1952 and has since served countless Irish coffees — including the world's largest one ever. I headed to the cafe to learn its signature technique Read more
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! I've been with my boyfriend for seven months now, and we decided to move in together after three months because he had to find a new house. His mum also moved in with us — she used to live with him before — but I was fine about it because I get on well with her. I didn't tell my mum and Read more
