Vibrant and Nourishing: Delicious Delights at the Leo Cafe

Nestled amidst the bustling Bournemouth streets, Leo Cafe stands as a breath of fresh air, offering a vibrant and nourishing culinary experience. Upon entering, one is enveloped by the enticing aromas of wholesome, plant-based creations. From colorful Buddha bowls brimming with crisp vegetables to tantalizing tofu-based wraps, each plate showcases Leo's commitment to both taste and ethics. The ambience is warm and inviting, adorned with natural elements and adorned with murals celebrating compassion and sustainability. And the cherry on top? The cafe boasts a dedicated team of passionate chefs who take pride in their ability to prove that vegan cuisine is anything but bland. Whether you are on the prowl for a quick coffee, a delicious treat or a hearty lunch, Leo Café has something you can pounce upon.

Leo Cafe is not just a place for delicious plant-based food; it represents a lifestyle that is sustainable, compassionate, and environmentally conscious. I wanted to create a design that was as quirky as the client and to really add that connection to the earth. The project really got its legs from combining the coffee bean and lion’s mane for the logo. This felt like a real winner and inspired a lot of the other design decisions which came after it. The funky foliage not only adds some flair to the design but also reflects the brands Vegan mission. From the moment a customer walks in, they will experience a cohesive and immersive environment that aligns with their values and elevates their dining experience.

The design uses a combination of the typefaces ImaginaryFriend BB and Cardigan which pair with the funky hand drawn graphics to create a system which is both playful and unforgettable. These elements all come together through the fun colour scheme which combines lion’s yellow with cool midnight jungle blues.
