Welcome to Candyfornia Café for all unicorn and creativity lovers! This café is quite hidden, since it is located on the first floor of the blue building in Monot, Achrafieh. I found this café very unique due to its décor design, cakes and smoothies.
It is the first "Kawaii-style" coffee shop that gives off the Los Angeles "LA" vibes while boosting a "candy-colored" design all over. The co-founder actually told me himself that he created this idea out of his love for LA.
If you are a creative person that is into unique spots or a unicorn gangsta that loves smoothies and lattes, this is definitely your spot! Not only will you be spoilt with smoothies and lattes but also with freshly made cakes, cupcakes, sandwiches, and healthy salads. Not to forget the chill zone that makes you feel like you are in another surreal world.
Did I forget to mention that they even have a pink pool inside the café? Of course it is empty and just there for design but it is pretty cool!

An exciting part of this museum is that at some point, if you look up, you'll be looking through a glass ceiling that shows the church right above you.
