What is Stories Cafe?

Stories Cafe a luxurious and welcoming combination of a newsletter and a curated online library café for thoughtful readers and curious minds.

You can sign up and join me as I explore culture, literature, movies, archetypes, and lifestyle philosophy—all with the aim of inspiring a more deliberate, reflective approach to everyday life. 

Each essay and podcast episode is an invitation for you to sit down for a few moments—perhaps with a cup of coffee or tea—to pause, reflect, and find new meaning. 

Subscribe to the free plan now so you never miss an update.

What to Expect

When you subscribe, a new post is sent directly to your email inbox every week, just in time for the weekend.

You will get written essays, thoughtful reflections on books, films, and lifestyle philosophy, as well as bite-size podcast episodes.

You can enjoy every post directly in your inbox, or you can click on it to enter the full experience of Stories Cafe on the website or app.

About Me

I’m Annette Wernblad—an educator, author, and lifelong flâneuse.
Ever since I was little, my passion has been to share how the deeper meanings in the stories we love can enrich our lives immeasurably.
This has been the focus of all my work, including two internationally recognized books, decades of university-level teaching, and every bit of content I create in my own business and in the Stories Cafe.
