Many new restaurants, coffee shops and cafes are popping up in larger cities around the country almost every week. In one of the largest cities in the San Francisco Bay Area, a 900-square-foot upscale coffee shop, known as Modern Coffee, recently established another location, which stands out with its decorative graphic tiles.
“This is the owners’ second location [in Oakland]. It was a renovation of a retail space within a historic building,” said Brooke Taylor, director of interiors at Arcsine in Oakland, CA. “The clients were very involved and actually had in mind from the beginning to incorporate a decorative tile. The overall design intent was to feel modern, considering the name of the coffee shop, but also to be as warm and welcoming, as the two owners are.”
