The team at Design Konstruct has transformed a blank canvas into a warm, stylish and elegant place making it one of the most aesthetically pleasing cafés in the city. Keeping detailing at the core, each table is curated to give guests a little bit of Europe in the heart of Mumbai.

On entering, guests are welcomed with red bougainvillea flowers with a round rectangular swing and a strip swing hung from the top surrounded by beautiful planters making it a beautiful alfresco setting. The interiors of the place exudes an inviting atmosphere that immediately elevates the dining experience.

From the botanical prints and fresh hues of the upholstery to the tables inspired by  Bougainville design, the café has a fresh and radiant vibe. The green shade of the ceiling, the white curtains inspired by Paris-style cafés, the bright rust wall to intensify the look and the façade glasses showcasing the menu add to the elegance of this place.

The main stimulus are the columns which are wrapped in MDF with white bougainvillea’s with their roots enfolded around the columns – making its a site to behold.

The bakery counter has its own elements – white ply tables, an old-school menu holder coated in black powder on a back wall which is beautifully designed with vertical shelves of metal and storage of wood with black boards, making guests feel at home.

The entire space is an explosion of well-thought design, colorfully curated elements and a welcoming feel that will make you visit, again and again!
