Upon visiting the cafe, we discovered several design flaws hindering its aesthetic appeal and social ambiance, causing them to potentially lose valuable customers. By redesigning the space to be more inviting and conducive to a cafe experience, the project seeks to attract a broader audience, including younger college students, while maintaining the cafe’s status as a local staple in Ithaca. This initiative not only focuses on improving the physical space but also emphasizes the importance of community engagement by creating a welcoming environment for people to eat, gather, and connect with one another.
