Welcome to the transformation story of URBANO. Bakery & Café in Streatham. We had the privilege of reimagining this local cafe from the ground up. Entrusted with creating a unique brand identity and designing a warm, welcoming interior, we set out to blend modern style with a cosy and bright feel. Each element — from the brand colours and identity to the thoughtfully chosen textures and furnishings — was selected to reflect the client’s vision while infusing the space with a timeless charm.

URBANO. Bakery & Café isn’t just any café; it offers a distinctive twist with a delightful selection of Latino-inspired baked goods and a menu filled with authentic food and drinks. These photos capture the journey from our initial concepts through to the final design, showcasing a space that invites Streatham locals and visitors alike to relax, enjoy, and savour something a bit different.
