Where California calm meets Athenian soul, tucked into the refined, tree-lined streets of Mets district, Joshua Tree Café offers a sun-drenched pause from the city’s rhythm. Its softly bohemian interiors nod to California’s desert aesthetic, with woven textures, earthy tones and a laid-back elegance that feels both intentional and effortless. The all-day vegetarian menu brings a global sensibility to plant-forward dining – from turmeric lattes and falafel wraps to tahini-drizzled pancakes and smoothie bowls, each plate arrives vibrant and generous. The turmeric latte and carrot cake are standouts, served in portions that invite sharing.
More than a café, Joshua Tree is a neighbourhood retreat. It carries the casual warmth of a traditional Greek kafeneio, where locals linger over coffee and conversation flows easily onto the wide pavement outside. It is the kind of place where solo mornings with a book stretch into long lunches and where warm, welcoming staff keep the pace deliciously unhurried. Vinyl-spun tunes add a gentle rhythm to the day, creating a space that feels lived-in and local.
