If you are like me and look for beautiful things in life all around, you would definitely appreciate this story. I want to share with you two of the prettiest places for lunch and coffee in Sofia. Both of them are Instagram-feed–worthy. The interior in both of them is aesthetically appealing, unique and with a warm atmosphere, perfect for your feed!

"Made In Blue"

Although it does not seem so from the outside, this is no ordinary place. "Made In Blue" will probably remind you of your grandma`s house and garden because of the unique vintage atmosphere. Each table is different. There are drawings on the walls, and, of course, the building is painted in blue. There is a daily lunch menu and a wide range of tasty meals, including vegetarian and vegan options. Everything is made from scratch with fresh ingredients, and the creativity of the cooks will amaze and inspire you. If you are fasting or trying to change your diet into an eco-friendlier one, this is the place for you. Here, you can experience a retro-afternoon, and just pretend you are a part of a fairy-tale world!

"Drekka"

The word "drekka" comes from Icelandic and means “to drink”. So, the name already contributes to the overall exotic vibe of this place. "Drekka" is a coffee shop which offers high-quality coffee drinks and tea. There are many different kinds of herbal teas as well as numerous coffee brands. Moreover, you get to choose from different alternatives for milk, such as oat drink. In the store, you can also buy cups, mugs, kettles and coffee jars. This is a great place for all coffee lovers and experts. "Drekka" is a must for every Instagram-enthusiast or blogger as well as for those who find pleasure in aesthetics. The walls are painted in blue and white, the two colors grades in one another. The interior is so visually pleasing that your inner perfectionist will be at peace as soon as you step into the coffee shop.

Indeed, there are many lunch and coffee places in Sofia, or elsewhere in Bulgaria, that offer interesting experiences and aesthetically pleasing interior designs. I have chosen to tell you about "Made In Blue" and "Drekka" because they have the color blue in common and are located within a 10-minute walking distance from one another, in the city`s central area. So, the next time you are in Sofia and are looking for the perfect place for lunch and coffee to share with your Instagram-followers, "Drekka" and "Made In Blue" might be the ones to make your feed better!
