Monet Atelier, Imbi

Monét Atelier has softly surfaced in Imbi, expanding the Monét family of cafes’ footprint in the city.

True to its atelier aspirations, design and details set the stage here: Mosaic tiles, terracotta tones and latticework beckon patrons into a two-level gallery-style sanctuary of pillowy boucle chairs, mushroom-stool pouffes and trunk tables. Quirky murals etched on glass panels lend charming, childlike whimsy.

Arkib-roasted Ethiopian Korate Poppaji makes for smooth stone-fruit sipping, while Bryson Tiller and SZA shuffle on the speakers, cementing Monét Atelier’s soulful urban rhythm.
