From the clinking of cups to the invigorating aroma of coffee, there’s something about cafes that makes them excellent backdrops for hours of productive work, whether you’re a writer, coder, or anyone who needs a dose of caffeine and focus. And we know how tough it can be to work in an open office set up, or at home with a dozen distractions at play. If you miss the vibe of your favourite coffee shop, check out the interactive website I Miss My Cafe: a sleek, minimalist virtual getaway. It allows users to recreate the aural atmosphere of a cafe through the addition and subtraction of elements such as the barista and machinery, bringing those familiar ASMR sounds. It also lets you control the seasons, imitating the pitter-patter of raindrops. Whether you’re reading a report in a local train or plugged in in a busy conference room, this could be the tool to help you tune out noise. The coffee, however, is strictly BYOB.
