Pact Coffee captures the spirit of contemporary café culture, nestled in the heart of a vibrant bohemian district. Designed as a refuge from the everyday, it offers a space to connect, recharge, or simply watch the world go by. A sculptural walnut dowel banquette anchors the interior, elegantly guiding customers from order to pickup. Tactile materials—ribbed glass, terrazzo flooring, glazed brick, and warm American walnut—create a rich, lived-in feel. Powder blue accents and Eames Fiberglass chairs add a playful, timeless edge. Generous windows open the café to the street, inviting the rhythm of the neighborhood inside.
