   the gorgeous "Granola" cafe in Copenhagen above (read more about it here )
   I really love the look of it (I mean tolix chairs and industrial style pendants? LOVE at first
   sight!)

   And for some lovely organic produce...

The charming "Daylesford organic" in Munich -above- is a must! (visit it here)
It looks divine and the food scrumptious.

Here in Sydney I love "The Boathouse" at Palm Beach

A beautiful location...

...gorgeous decor and beautiful food (yummy breakfast and lunch menus to choose from)

what more can you ask for? (check it out here)

Have a spectacular day...

(if you are in Sydney you are in for a treat - a gorgeous blue sky and 23 C. Enjoy! )

Love,

cinnamon and coffee

Mornings are not easy, right? (or is it just me?)
(If you ask me) Mondays can be pretty painful
but I've found a way (I think) to win my Monday morning battle...
it's a very easy formula:
morning walk & caffeine + sugar....
I know exactly what you are thinking...
well in my defence...I don't get to sit down until after the children have left
(I walk them to school and when I come back home I have my breakfast...)

It's a brilliant start...

this sugar and cinnamon pull-apart looks DIVINE, doesn't it?

joy the baker

a coffee owl? LOVE!

Monday inspiration / boys club

anything masculine will do...(I'm in a bit of a masculine mood at the moment, perhaps it's the simplicity of the look or perhaps it's just the need to de-clutter...who knows...?)

quite continental

boyfriend style / yes please!
