% Arabica Mexico City Condesa DF

Designer's Note


”Mexico, your first store is finally ready! For the store design, we collaborated with the Mexican architectural studio Vertebral and here are the designer’s notes:

“Within the vibrant streets of Mexico City’s Condesa district, % Arabica stands as a testament to the fusion of culture and design. Crafted by our team at Vertebral, % Arabica is more than just a coffee shop—it’s an architectural ode to the rich tapestry of Mexican heritage intertwined with the iconic essence of the brand.

Located at the ground level corner of a historic landmark overlooking the picturesque Parque España, the shop seamlessly blends traditional Mexican architecture with the unmistakable charm of the white % Arabica brand. The design narrative unfolds with the integration of rustic wooden beams and benches, paying homage to Mexico’s artisanal craftsmanship, while the distinctive staggered white corner wall details infuse the space with dynamism and modernity.

Every corner whispers stories of tradition meeting innovation, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the echoes of history. It is our honor to present % Arabica Condess, a sanctuary where culture, community, and caffeine converge, inviting all to experience the essence of Mexico City’s soul.”
