Cafe DoKa DoKa

This morning was absolutely amazing. It started super early, when the island is it's most beautiful. 

Cam was up and gone by his usual time before dawn and I got up at sunrise. It was breathtaking. 

I went with two of my girlfriends to Cafe Doka Doka just ten minutes up the road and we literally spent the entire morning there, talking and reading.. in awe. I honestly have never been to a more amazing coffee house in my life -- from the open-air terrace built on a mountainside -- to the delicious coffee served with a tiny pot of fresh flowers -- to the piano on the patio I got to play -- to the view that overlooks turquoise Moon Beach. Wow. 

It's owned by a sweet family that makes their own traditional Okinawan pottery, serves everything in it & sells it on site. And that rocking chair - be still my heart. If it weren't for the fact that coffee makes me bounce off the walls, I could have sat there all day.
