Design in Coffee
Coffee Labs Roasters expanded to its second location in Eastchester, New York, officially opening the store on August 2nd, 2023. The building, once a bank, has been transformed with a meticulous design that mirrors the personality of owners Mike and Alivia Love, while also emphasizing their dedication to sustainability.
The shop's interior showcases a thoughtful blend of natural and modern elements. The ceiling hosts a striking herringbone pattern crafted from reclaimed coffee tree wood sourced from overseas coffee farms. Complementing this design are natural wood beams salvaged from the original bank, maintaining a connection to the building's history. In addition to using coffee tree wood for the ceiling, the Loves also used the wood to create the tables throughout the space.
A beautiful patio, adorned with a lush live plant wall spanning the shop's length, adds a touch of natural beauty. The Loves and their designer, Jessica Viciedo from Design Philosophy, aimed to seamlessly integrate this natural ambiance with the shop's more modern features. The color palette for the space draws inspiration from a beloved Science Fiction movie series close to the hearts of the owners.
Coffee Labs ingeniously repurposed the bank's original vault, transforming it into a unique bathroom space adorned with an array of artwork. This innovative approach reflects the brand's commitment to sustainability and creativity, providing customers with an immersive and aesthetically pleasing coffee experience.
