NYC coffee shops with great logos and branding

I love coffee. I love coffee shops. I love great branding. And I love NYC. Here’s a list that combines all those things.

FELIX Roasting Co

Soho & Nomad

Designed by Elyssa Herman, Felix Roasting Co.’s branding and interiors are a feast for the eyes. The overall look and feel is luxurious, rich and soothing.

 

Maman, Multiple Locations

Maman’s gorgeous details from the interiors to the cups to the branding are a feast for the eyes. The logo was designed by Alexia Roux and for the cups, textile designer Candice Kaye was brought in. The whole vision is the product of owner Elisa Marshall.

 

Black Fox Coffee, Financial District

The Black Fox logo designed by Philip Leff uses a subtle geometric pattern in the logotype making for a bold and memorable identity.

 

Good Thanks Cafe, LES

Fun and whimsical type make up this logo for Good Thanks Cafe.

 
 

Daily Provisions, Multiple Locations

Handwritten artist Jennifer Lucey-Brzoza makes her mark on the Daily Provisions logo.

 

Happy Bones (Closed)

Cool and edgy work by Lotta Nieminen. Unfortunately the coffee shop has closed since this blog post first published.

 

Variety Coffee Roasters

Designed by Derick Holt , this memorable identity for Variety Coffee Roasters has a vintage feel to it.

 

St. Kilda Coffee, Chelsea

I absolutely love this branding but I’m unable to find the designer. If you know drop a comment!

 

Ralph’s Coffee

Ralph’s coffee, a part of the Ralph Lauren store uses beautiful vintage type and a memorable color palette. Very classic Ralph Lauren. It was designed by Hunter Siegel and team.

 

Drip Drop Cafe, SoHo

I can’t find the designer of this logo but it’s street art style sticker and photos are very cool. Check out more on their instagram.

 
 

Brooklyn Roasting Company

Loving how Brooklyn Roasting Company uses bold type and bright colors that gives off a uniquely 70’s NYC vibe. Jim Munson is the owner and a self-taught illustrator who designed the company logo in 2009.

 

787 Coffee Company

787 Coffee Company is run by business duo Sam Sepulveda and Brandon Ivan Pena. The use of bold sharpie drawings on bright yellow cups stands out and brings a smile to your morning.

 

Matto Espresso NYC

This logo really stands out from the crowd by using a tarot card inspired design. “Matto” means crazy in Italian- a nod to the business’ crazy idea to offer $3 lattes.
It’s refreshing to see something different and maximalist. Unfortunately, I cannot find any information on the designer.
