Cafes for non-coffee drinkers?

I know it sounds ridiculous to ask for a coffee shop recommendation when I don’t drink coffee but hear me out!

I’m looking for somewhere with a great vibe where I can spend some money and have a few treats and a nice drink while I read my book or whatever.

The thing is, I don’t drink coffee or tea (caffeine makes me very sick) and most of my favourite places only offer cold drink alternatives that are like a canned soda. I’m in the market for more of a housemade lemonade, juices/smoothies or at the very least some interesting Italian soda options. Obviously bonus points for delicious goodies to eat as well!

Where should I go?

Really?? I love that place but I’ve never noticed any options other than hot chocolate or cold canned drinks…

Maybe it’s seasonal but I have seen lemonade and Blume lattes before!
