Industrial Cafe with Award Winning Interior Design

About the Space

Welcome to our 2,400-sq-ft flagship café in The Kensington, where award-winning design meets the kinetic energy of Boston’s Chinatown. The space marries minimalist Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics—echoing our Tokyo store—with an industrial Boston edge. Acres of warm timber, bamboo tables and Caesarstone counters float beneath soaring ceilings, while sculptural wood columns evoke abstract trees, turning the room itself into a modern urban forest. Architectural & Lighting Highlights • Floor-to-ceiling glass (14 ft) on two sides floods the room with soft, all-day natural light and offers unobstructed views of Washington Street’s vibrant street life—perfect for cinematic backdrops and lifestyle shoots. • An illuminated “Slow Bar” and stainless-steel brew laboratory anchor the main bar, complemented by hand-blown glass pendants and industrial fixtures that can be dimmed for moody evening scenes. • Textured concrete floors, exposed ducts and reclaimed wood create depth and contrast, giving production crews multiple visual zones within one site. Layout & Furnishings • Open plan with modular seating: leather sofas, café tables, communal high-tops and counter seating can be rearranged or struck as needed. • A Loring S35 Kestrel roaster (fully movable and on casters) offers a striking set piece for interviews, commercials or product features.  • Back bar includes twin Victoria Arduino Black Eagle espresso machines, cold-brew towers and a craft-spirits display—ideal for food, beverage or cocktail content.
