Refreshing a brand as iconic as Café Coffee Day meant balancing heritage with modern comfort. At our BEL Road project, we brought the outdoors in to create a space that feels like a natural extension of Bangalore’s cafe culture.

Outdoor seating is a quintessential part of the Bangalore experience. We designed this patio to feel like a natural extension of the cafe, framed by greenery to create a relaxed, refreshing vibe for lingering over coffee.

By opening up the glazing and surrounding the café with lush plants, we created a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. This design reflects the brand's story of connection, creating the perfect spot to unwind and connect with others.

Every detail tells a story. We paired the iconic tagline, "A lot can happen over coffee," with a textured mural honoring coffee's journey, creating a space that is modern yet rooted in the brand's heritage.

Seating at this CCD outlet is all about flexibility and comfort. We introduced a combination of plush bench seating and sleek chairs to suit every guest, whether they are there for a cozy chat or to work.

The seating arrangement combines soft textures, earthy tones, and a thoughtful layout to ensure the setting is as inviting as the coffee it serves. The brand's tagline is visible on the glass, reinforcing the atmosphere.

The outdoor seating area is separated from the street by large planters filled with tropical plants, creating a green buffer that offers a sense of escape and tranquility in the middle of the city.

A closer view of the custom mural we commissioned from a local artist. The bas-relief sculpture celebrates the coffee plant, subtly nodding to the brand’s roots in Chikkamagaluru’s plantations.

We love this soft, subtle palette of striped upholstery and warm wood against a concrete-finish wall. It holds its own character while celebrating Bangalore’s beautifully green outdoors, visible through the large window.

This cozy corner with bold, striped armchairs is perfect for quiet conversations. The minimalist pendant light provides focused illumination without distracting from the view of the greenery outside.

The outdoor area features modern, woven chairs that are both durable and stylish. The iconic tagline on the wall is visible from the outside, inviting passersby to step in.

About Café Coffee Day: Reimagining an Icon

We moved away from a strictly indoor feel by opening up the glazing and integrating lush planters as a natural barrier. This creates an outdoor seating experience that remains private and cozy, even on a busy street like BEL Road. It is about letting the cafe breathe while giving guests a quiet, green buffer from the city traffic.
