Bloom Specialty Coffee transformed a former auto workshop near Romexpo into a hybrid café and flower shop. The challenge was converting a small industrial building with metal structure and glazed surfaces into a warm, elegant space. The design created an urban oasis, combining artisan coffee and beautiful flowers in a minimalist, nature-inspired setting. Custom branding, like the “petal cup” motif, reflects the café’s values of taste and refinement.
