Candyfornia Cafe Welcomes You Back Into Its Surreal World With LA-Vibes

If you’re into pastels, unicorns, colored-food, and over-the-top shakes, this Kawaii-style studio is your spot!

Being part of the multidisciplinary agency Candyfornia Studio, Candyfornia Café came to life through the efforts of creative director Ryan Houssari and digital artist Andrew Atamian who wanted to create ‘a fairytale for grownups’ on local grounds. After being closed for the past three years, the beloved café re-opened last weekend, relocating from Ashrafieh to Mar Mikhael.



As soon as you step into this coffee shop and eatery, you will be transported you into Tokto, Palm Sprim, and Los Angeles – the cities with the coolest vibes! The secret lies in its eccentric interior design and menu items.

The new space features the same old décor elements, including communal tables, an empty pink pool, a ball pit, lots of neon lights and signs, and the coolest swim floaties displayed all around, so “get your Instagram game ready”!




Aside from being a workspace with fully equipped meeting rooms, the place is also famously known for hosting a concept store, a print shop, as well as design and photography amenities.

The updated menu offers coffee, iced drinks, homemade tea, signature milkshakes, pink hummus and labneh, chocolate chip cookie and brownies served in a skillet with different toppings, as well as freshly baked cakes. There’s also a cocktail bar to get your booze fix at!


Candyfornia café is open everyday from 3 PM to 11 PM, except on Mondays, welcoming you back into its happy place buzzing with positive energy!
