— December 22, 2010 — Lifestyle
Whether you're in the mood for a quick cup of coffee or a bite to eat, you have to check out these innovative and original cafes. Starbucks may make amazing coffee but their baristas have nothing on American maid cafes.

I feel for the owners of the corner cafes that are sure to feel inadequate once they see all of these innovative and original cafes. From racy employee outfits to washing machines, the craziest and coolest cafes from the Trend Hunter archives are here in this cluster. Do yourself a favor and click through this collection of must-visit cafes today.
