Madcap Coffee
Downtown Market Cafe
Creative Direction & Design
Project
The Downtown Market approached Madcap about opening a location after a different coffee shop vacated the spot. It was important that there would be no confusion to consumers that this was a new enterprise. Space was limited, and a walled-off prep area blocked sightlines and reduced the usable space even more. Working through a variety of concepts, the final design is a coffee bar built in the round with nothing hidden to its patrons - from making specialty drinks to washing glassware to preparing food, everything is on display. The round bar naturally lends itself to one-on-one interactions between customers and baristas as they prepare drinks. The glossy white finish and matching light cloud halo give the space a futuristic feel that positions Madcap as a new coffee experience.
