Located within 1948 Division St. Project, The 2,900 sq. ft. build out houses a cafe and coffee roaster. The owners of Anthology are very social people and the shop is a place for family and friends (their kids are always climbing around on things :) The owners played a critical role in designing and fabricating of the space itself; specifically the fantastic floating coffee bar. The space was imagined as a continuation of food production in the Eastern Market while layering on a secondary function of a tasting room / café.
The space was also to serve as a future casual event space for the other tenants in the building, the landlord is sharing the cost of the seating area and utilities as an example. The visual access of the space was intended to open from the front into the alley (future programming) creating a bright and friendly atmosphere. The coffee bean delivery is located off the rear on a deck that also serves an employee hang out.
