Café Tarot

June 12, 2024 • Louie Mantia

Today I brought my MacBook to Café Tarot, a nearby spot that has cute little vegan sausage sandwiches and oat milk lattes. I think that—and perhaps a western, English-friendly vibe—attracts more foreigners than other places.

But it’s really cute and I should go there more often than I do. They give you a little coaster as your tarot reading for today, with a little explanation leaflet too. That’s a very charming little detail. There’s also several tarot decks you can pick up and use while you’re there, and a kind of gallery-esque display of books and cards along the staircase.

While working on some icons, I looked behind me and noticed the same two tourists from New York that I saw yesterday at a different cafe. They insisted they weren’t following me. If I see them tomorrow though, I’m convinced.
