Oh My Espresso: A Classic European Coffee Shop in Melbourne
January 12, 2024

A café with a classic European concept is indeed full of romanticism, especially the exterior and interior that support the atmosphere and further add to the intimacy of visitors and the café itself. We Are Humble has designed a café located on the ground floor of the Richmond, Melbourne building, with an impressive classic European concept.

Oh My Espresso which is on the ground floor of the Richmond building looks attractive with the arches and burgundy tones that adorn the interior. This design concept was chosen because it follows the design of the Richmond building on it which offers classic European building visuals. Because of its strategic location, My Oh My Espresso has a large area, ranging from outdoor areas to private spaces at the back of the plan.

In the outdoor section, there is a green pole with a series of wooden round tables that function as a place to display the goods sold. In the same area, We Are Humble offers the experience of eating a meal and sipping a glass of coffee with a view of Swan Street next door.

The booking area is deliberately designed in the vestibule that can be seen from Swan Street. The goal is to attract visitors to come and order food or drinks at My Oh My Espresso. In addition, the ordering area placed in the front area provides convenience for customers who want to take away or enjoy dishes in the outdoor area. The placement of the booking area in front is an effort to create good circulation for My Oh My Espresso because visitors in the café do not need to be bothered by the queues, sounds, and noise that are commonly encountered in the booking area.

Entering the inner area, We Are Humble arranged the layout of My Oh My Espresso with several areas bounded by a white arcade in the shape of a curve as its trademark. The arcade is described as separating the area inside My Oh My Espresso from the hustle and bustle of Swan Street in front of it. My Oh My Espresso is equipped with two private rooms placed in the back area to provide maximum privacy for customers.

The most notable is the main dining area which is thick with Classic European nuances. In this area, We Are Humble reinforces the concept of Classical Europe against the background of abstract walls framed by curved white accents. Not only that, the application of burgundy tones that adorn the entire area gives a luxurious impression to the room. In addition, the selection of the shape of the curved lamp with copper hanging from the ceiling creates a romantic atmosphere in the interior of My Oh My Espresso.
