More than just a cafe, it’s a nod to slower times when folks valued the simple, most honest things; good food, drinks and conversation shared with friends or family.

The Brief:

The Café Sophie marketplace is a retail journey of food staples and curated finds from around the world handpicked by Danny and his team. These are the must-have products that make a simple dish or dinner spectacular. Specialty chocolates from Portland, small-batch pastas and tomato sauce from Italy, fresh bouquets of flowers, and an extensive wine collection – this market is your new favorite stop wherever you’re headed. 

The Approach: 

Café Sophie's design echoes the contours of its soul – the hearth – gracefully embracing the heart's warmth. The typography strikes a harmonious balance between resilience and elegance, marrying the contemporary and the trustworthy, a symphony perfectly attuned to narrating tales. Every touchpoint of its branding resonates with an ageless essence, donning classic typefaces. These elements partner with a wallpaper adorned by the avian wonders of nature, inviting the vibrant beauty of the outdoors indoors. Ornithology motifs unfurl, an artful congregation of meticulously illustrated birds, an embodiment of life's vivacity and sophistication.
