Plan B Coffeeworks brings raw industrial textures together with a warmer, more humble feel, the kind of coffee shop meant to feel like part of the neighborhood rather than apart from it.

Folding chairs line a steel-framed bar right at the storefront, seats at the edge of the neighborhood rather than tucked away from it. Inside, exposed concrete walls meet timber wainscoting along the lower half of the room. The bench along the window is a U-ditch, a concrete drainage channel rotated 90 degrees and brought indoors. The back wall is built from cable tray, the kind that usually carries wires along ceilings, now holding posters and the week’s menu instead. 

A second leftover cable tray was cut in two and given legs to become a shelf, finished with small orange rubber pads as a nod to the branding. Up front, a strip of amber resin glows when the bar is open and disappears into the plywood when it is not.
