Start Your Morning Springtime Routine With This Outdoor At-Home Café
If you self identify as a cold brew snob or a matcha connoisseur — and wish your days could be filled with the aromas and ambient noise of a coffee shop — then transforming your outdoor patio into an at-home café is for you.
Besides whipping up lattes on demand, creating a personalized coffee experience at home has some major perks. For starters, it'll put some zing into your a.m. routine, and you'll have a designated space in your backyard to kick back and take a few deep breaths. With key picks from Walmart (that won't blow your budget), it'll be the crowning jewel of your mornings.
Keep scrolling for the chicest café staples — think furnishings, drinkware, and decor — that are easy to incorporate into your outdoor spot for a stylish al-fresco coffee nook.
