I’d say a solid 75% of my writing is done at coffee shops. I just love basking in each shop’s unique vibe and decor while sipping down one of their signature flavors. It keeps me inspired. My affinity for them is no secret either. When I find a coffee shop I love, I simply can’t help but rave about it to all of my friends. They know to not get me started on coffee shop talk. I’ll go to town.
I’ve made my way through a majority of my city’s options, but thanks to Instagram I’m not out of luck. It lets me virtually explore coffee houses from around the world anytime I please. And boy, have I done it. There is an endless number of feeds to ogle over, but today I’ve narrowed it down to just a few. These 10 Instagram Feeds for Coffee Lovers run the gamut of coffee culture. Some bring to life the personality of the shop with silly barista pictures and latte art. Others show off their stunning interior. All of them are sure to have you jonesing for a little liquid pick-me-up. Click through to hear a bit about each. Enjoy! —Garrett
Pastel hues and bold patterns cover the walls and feed of Sea Circus Bali, giving it a coastal, always-summer vibe. The Indonesian coffee shop's feed doesn't only capture its gorgeous interior, though. Shots of their delicious fare, fun parties and stylish patrons round out their page.
Jeff Newton's project Americano Mondays and its accompanying Instagram captures portraits and insights from baristas around the country in an exploration of modern day coffee culture.
If you're like me, your favorite coffee shops are those that offer some stellar eye candy. Coffee Shops of the World takes its subscribers to cafes in every corner of the planet, highlighting the prettiest places to grab a cup of joe.
Verve Coffee Roasters' adventurous approach to coffee is brought to life on their feed. Peppered in between shots of yummy macchiatos, their latest flavors, and their line of merchandise are beautiful shots of California's idyllic coast and forests.
By the time you've scrolled to the bottom of Dinosaur Coffee's feed, you'll feel like a regular. And it's all thanks to the personable nature of their posts. Each highlights their fun-loving staff, regulars, and good-looking food.
One of my Chicago go-to's is C.C. Ferns. Their rustic, vintage outpost always seems to get a hold of me. Oftentimes, I find myself writing for hours and hours from right here on their throwback sofa.
If aerial shots of tables overflowing with coffee and delectables is more your thing, Livingstone Café & Bakery is a must-follow. Their feed highlights their latest confections and lots of lattes.
Hong Kong-based school The Coffee Academïcs teaches tomorrow's baristas not only the basics, but how to craft delectable, signature drinks, too, like this Iced Nougat Flat White.
Nashville, TN's Barista Parlor has got a feed worthy of framing with glamour shots of espresso and pops of color that inspire. They don't take themselves too seriously either as evidenced here in one of their latest flavors, "Shoeless Joe."
Unsurprisingly, Paris' Café Kistuné is visually arresting. It is a part of the international fashion brand Maison Kitsuné after all. With a feed that captures its rotating gallery of artwork, design-centric furnishings and adorable fox biscuits, you can't help but smile as you scroll through it.
I’m loving that coffee shops around Bristol, UK have started featuring local artists work on their walls, ranging from traditional painting to embroidery hoops! It’s so nice watching gaps appear on the walls and knowing it’s because local people are supporting local business and artists :)
Would you mind sharing some of your Chicago coffee shop faves? :)

Any recommendations for Bristol? I’m traveling there in the winter (and am addicted to caffeine, obviously) and would love to know.
