The Yard Creative Design Awards
BEST FOOD SERVERY: Awarded to the one who stopped us in our tracks and made us refill.
Winner: Benugo
In contrast to the larger chains of Coffee shops, Benugo eschews cosy fabrics and contrasting timbers in favour of a clean, white kitchen-like approach to the interior. The only real colour comes from the vast array of fresh fruit, veg and meats on display in the glass-fronted deli-displays. Everything in here is fresh and colourful and that’s what shouts out.
The store itself is such a simple, logical layout with everything you could possibly want laid out before you and you can actually see what you’re getting rather than making do with a glossy photograph of one they prepared earlier.
Rather than graphics covering the walls there’s a simple blackboard menu behind the counter. The price of displayed food is chalked-up on the glass in front giving a very fresh approach, which, with the simplicity of layout is a winner!
