This gourmet pastry and coffee café features forms derived from its menu to signal its focus and specialization. Pastry nozzles, wafer cookies, cookie cutouts and spoon forms are employed in three dimensions to order movement in the space.

Patrons are intentionally drawn by the display cases to queue a processional that is social and gustatorial. Granite tables and light and dark oak chairs provide a balance between supporting the presentation of product and adding just enough warmth to create an inviting place to eat, see and be seen.
