Idea

An island you can't miss.

An open, island-style format maximises visibility and ease of service for travellers on the move. A restrained palette of warm timber, soft stone and crisp illuminated sage-green signage gives a compact space a strong presence.

Brand

Herb planter green, raw coffee bean.

A condensed, confident wordmark and a circular CCE seal carry across cups, greaseproof paper, uniforms and POS, with a palette taken from the café's materials.
