Welcoming plant beside the window of a warmly lit cafe storefront

Street welcome · Warm atmosphere

Cafe Storefront

Timber frontage, a service window and warm lighting establish an approachable cafe entrance. Planting should strengthen recognition and dwell time while keeping the doorway and street view open.

Best suited to

Cafe storefronts, restaurant entrances and street-facing retail windows

Design advice

Place a resilient medium plant beside the window or doorway without entering door and queue clearances. Use a stable, cleanable planter that contrasts with the frontage material.

Key decisions

  • Strengthen arrival without hiding signage
  • Keep door and queue routes clear
  • Choose a stable, easy-clean planter
