A fresh look for an independent coffee roaster

Brief

Quantum is a coffee roaster and coffee house set in the heart of Cardiff Bay. Born out of passion by its founders Dimitris and Katia they opened their doors in 2015 providing the very best in ethically farmed coffee from around the globe. A stunning interior, beautiful coffee and unfortunately, a brand that was neither.

Outcome

We shaped a new brand to compliment their carefully crafted interior aesthetic. We designed an identity that adapted to packaging, exterior and interiors of their store allowing them to flourish. We also used Shopify to build them an online store with an integrated subscription service.

Taking cues from the carefully curated interior, we created a wordmark to work in harmony with the modern, industrial and vintage features.

Shopfronts need to tell a story of what to expect when you enter. We used the huge full height windows to literally tell Quantum's story—from field to cup.

To help bring Quantum's awesome coffee to the masses, we used Shopify to build them an online store with an integrated subscription service.

For their coffee packaging, the colour palette was used to represent the global origins of their beans. We also took inpiration from their wallpaper, incorporating a bit of the coffee house into every bag.

We’ve also helped Quantum brand up a range of new offerings. Quantum Gravity, their coffee infused brown ale, brewed by local company Mad Dog. A smooth nitro cold brew coffee and a freshing selection of cold brew coffees and teas.
