Marshalls Abroad

Life Okinawa

Cafe DoKa DoKa

This morning started early, when the island is it’s most beautiful.
I went with two of my girlfriends to Cafe Doka Doka just ten minutes up the road and we spent the 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.

    looks like a great cafe-so peaceful-in such a great setting-and so quiet too…i guess everyone else is working

    I'm fully convinced you live in paradise, but I have a feeling that wherever you go looks like paradise through your lens. You are so talented in capturing the serenity of the island.
