Cà Phê Lalot
Right before we got the keys to our restaurant we were guest chefs in Bangkok, so we took the chance to visit as many traditional breakfast places as we could. The atmosphere of those places is the key inspiration for us and the essence of feeding the working people in the neighborhood is what we do now.

Café Fokus
We met through skateboarding in Vienna and had both been skating for more than twenty years. But we never really liked being labelled as skaters, and we certainly don’t see Fokus as a “skate café”. Still, skateboarding is part of our history and identity.

Grettha
Hoy seguimos viendo nuestro trabajo como una misión en construcción: crear hábitos, acercar experiencias significativas y demostrar que incluso en mercados donde la cultura de cafetería aún está desarrollándose, es posible generar comunidad alrededor de una buena taza de café.

Rosebar Centrala
Running a restaurant comes with many different challenges and competing priorities, but we are hosts before we are cooks or businesspeople. A good and successful restaurant has to live by that. The food can be excellent, but people also need to feel genuinely welcome and cared for.

Monono Café
La idea de seguir aprendiendo. Nuestra influencia son los días de mantel largo, la sobremesa. La improvisación, como la que nos brinda el free jazz, es una gran referencia para nuestro trabajo diario y nuestros procesos de desarrollo de menú, cata y tueste.

Softcover
It’s very inspiring to be surrounded by amazing and beautiful print publications from around the world every day. And the work never stops. New books and magazines are published all the time, the big challenge is to curate them really carefully.

Baldío
La principal influencia siempre ha sido, y será, lo que aprendemos de escuchar y conocer a comunidades campesinas de México. Cada decisión que tomamos está guiada por cómo podemos tener el mayor impacto positivo para que esas familias y proyectos se vean beneficiados.

Calienna
We wanted to build a place where plants, design, books, and a great café existed together, not just as a concept but as a genuine daily experience. We never thought of it as strictly a plant store. We wanted to build our own world.

Nothing here follows a master plan. The interior, the walls, the posters, and the more than 4,000 books used as decoration all grew organically over two decades. We call it ‘curated disorder’, and it is the deliberate opposite of a polished, over-designed café.

Fenster Cafe
Success is not a state, it’s an episode. After every high, the move isn’t to expand, it’s to get stronger. We learned that the hard way after record sales, rapid growth, and nearly losing everything. That lesson shapes every decision we make today.

Grano Rojo
Grano Rojo surge de las ideas de dos amigos completamente distintos que deciden dar sentido a años de conversaciones. Nace sin experiencia, pero con el deseo de conectar con las personas, crear un espacio vivo, compartir, y construir comunidad desde lo absurdo, lo cómico y lo real.

Café Exchange
Cafe Exchange is uniquely located in a world heritage architectural site. We intentionally avoided the clichés of formal, institutional dining to meet the broad range of people inhabiting the space and facilitate moments of exchange between them. We wanted the café to feel open, human, and alive.
