ABOUT

City Café is located in a residential area in the center of Moscow. Its main goal is to unite people of the same cultural code living nearby and beyond. Here it will be pleasant to meet in the morning for a delicious breakfast, in the afternoon to sit at the computer or discuss business issues, and in the evening to meet with loved ones and discuss the past day.

ZONING

The layout of the Culture Code is simple and straightforward. There is a large hall, including a bar, and a separately located small hall. At the entrance you will find a coat rack where you can immediately undress or go further and hang your outerwear in the small hall, as well as by the windows. Opposite the door we have placed a bar, so that it is a link between the guests and the kitchen, and also allows baristas and waiters to greet guests without having to use a separate space. Another small part of the room is taken up by a utility room with storage, as well as a washroom and toilet area.​​​​​​​

The bar counter consists of 3 main volumes and is made of natural materials. The central part is made of stainless steel, it has the function of a showcase, it houses the cash register equipment, a basket of fresh fruit and jugs of water. The second rack is made of marble, it houses all the coffee equipment.The third one is wooden, it is the waiter's counter.

For four months we talked to through the windows. Through them we talked about the concept while you were passing by. Reflecting on events and situations in the city.

Now Cultural Code has a life of its own. We don't need to tell you anything - it speaks for us. This place has become what it was intended to be: a cultural point that brings together those close to us in spirit.
