5 instagrammable cafés in Europe
Café de Flore – Paris, France
In one of the most iconic corners of Paris — the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood — Café de Flore stands out with red leather seats, marble surfaces, large mirrors, and a timeless Belle Époque charm.
Café Central – Vienna, Austria
Located in Vienna’s historic center, Café Central is a prime example of the city’s imperial coffeehouse culture: high vaulted ceilings, columns, and chandeliers.
Its old-world elegance makes it ideal for stylish shots — whether it’s coffee and dessert or just the enchanting interior.
Tip: Order the famous “Sachertorte” and photograph it next to a window with a view of the city.
EL&N Café – London, UK
EL&N (also known as ELAN Café) is one of the most photographed cafés in London — with pink walls, floral installations, and neon signs.
The colors and patterns are a visual delight: brunch dishes topped with edible flowers, latte art, and a dreamy pink ambiance.
Tip: Go early (queues are common) and choose a table with a floral backdrop.
Feya Café – London, UK
Another ultra-instagrammable spot in London: Feya, located in Marylebone, offers pastel tones, floral walls, and a sleek, modern aesthetic.
The décor seems tailor-made for photography, from the “wisteria waffle” to the abundant floral details.
Angelina – Paris, France
Back in Paris, Angelina is a legendary tearoom with Belle Époque décor, combining elegance, luxurious pastries, and a picture-perfect setting.
The chandeliers, mirrors, and artfully presented desserts and drinks create a luxury aesthetic that makes every photo stand out.
Tips for picture-perfect café shots
- Avoid peak hours to steer clear of crowds.
- Opt for good lighting — ideally natural daylight.
- Choose a spot that highlights the café’s unique features (wall décor, styling, table) — not just the coffee cup.
- Before you go, check the café’s Instagram or Facebook page for any changes or special events that might affect the vibe.
