Stubborn Joe is no average-Joe cafe; founded by a husband-&-wife team who practise interior design & architecture, it’s a visual feast. Joe & Veronica have created a space with a striking sense of meticulousness, right from the sumptuously photogenic walls – one with a ‘no man is an island’ figurine-lined theme, facing another filled with black-&-white construction blueprints – to the ravishingly intricate floor tiles & the furnishing of a vintage family TV set, rotary phone & other heirlooms.
