3 Stylish All-Day Cafés We’d Love to Live In

We draw interiors inspiration from the latest restaurant trend

It’s official: The new all-day café is open for business in cities across the country. But while many are flocking to these bastions of breakfast cheer for the menus—and with their wood-fired pizzas and Insta-worthy sandwiches, we certainly can’t fault them for that—it’s the interiors that have our design pulses racing. These sunlit watering holes are the chicest of the bunch—places ready to satisfy just about any craving you might have in inspiring spaces that make us more than happy to stay awhile. Read on to see how they set the tone for the market-meets-café dining establishment with a distinctly modern edge—and how to bring the look home no matter where you are.

High Street on MarketEli Kulp’s upscale deli in Philadelphia’s Old City draws inspiration from the ethnically diverse makeup of its hometown, with everything from house-made bagels to the Italian Market Breakfast (Lancaster bologna, farm eggs, broccoli rabe, Old Bay fried potatoes) worthy of Rocky Balboa himself. The interiors are equally at home in the neighborhood: Butcher-block countertops and walls lined in subway tile mingle with richly grained wood tables and metal stools, adding a note of hipster flair that makes this understated all-day spot the place to kick back—and stock up on kitchen inspiration. 308 Market Street, Philadelphia

Tartine ManufactoryFrom flour gods Liz Prueitt and Chad Robertson and slated to open any day now, Tartine Manufactory is the first true extension of San Francisco’s iconic bakery of the same name, situated in a production space adjacent to Heath Ceramics’ Mission warehouse. The industrial aesthetic spills out into the café, where streamlined wood banquettes and schoolhouse-style seating add warmth to a soaring room with exposed piping and towering windows. Marble accents infuse the space with luxury, while an installation-like assortment of hanging paper lanterns imparts rustic texture, underscoring the casual vibe. 555 Alabama Street, San Francisco

GjustaIf you’ve been to Venice Beach in the past five years, you know it’s a far cry from the drug-addled, grunge-hawking scene of years past, in large part due to the opening of Gjelina, a rock ’n’ roll farm-to-table restaurant from surfer-chef Travis Lett. Its overachieving sibling Gjusta is just as happening. The popular all-day café channels the happy chaos and look of a West Coast Russ & Daughters or Zabar’s (complete with all the smoked fish) mixed with its own brand of hippie crunch that has become distinctive of Lett’s culinary style. There are Weck jars of seasoning salts and a forest of potted plants and cacti, for sure, but also one of the prettiest patios in the neighborhood. Communal tables are strewn throughout in a laissez-faire manner under a canopy of twinkling lights. With digs this homey, you may never leave. 320 Sunset Avenue, Los Angeles
