Saw these potted orchids grouped together in one big vase at Milky Way Cafe:

Beautiful. And great idea to group them and elevate on a table!

Milky Way Cafe is famous for its halo-halo, and was happy to see it still alive and buzzing after over 50 years of operation.

The whole cafe felt like a warm home, so I tried to spot the other design elements that made it so:

Apart from the many indoor plants, there was enough breathing space in between the furniture. 3D art pieces like this tree sculpture helped give texture to the space–I like!

There’s abundant natural light inside the cafe. I also love alcove lighting and noticed it in the hallway– nice if you want a warm but not overly bright room.

I’m naturally drawn to creative pieces, and I appreciated the paintings in varied textures that gave color and drama to the place, like it had a story to tell.

I especially liked this toro collage, and would’ve reached out to touch if not for the glass cover:

Also noticed music being played in the lobby–great way to regulate the mood and keep it light and happy 🙂
