Misto cafe

CONCEPT:

misto.cafe is a Lutsk-based venue with a unique concept — where every cup of coffee is an investment in the city’s future. 80% of the profit goes toward funding social and community projects, making this café a true intersection of business, community, and meaningful change.

BAR EXPERIENCE:

At misto.cafe, we've created a bar counter that perfectly matches the city's nonstop rhythm. One section, standing at 900 mm high, invites guests for quick coffee moments and small talks. The other, at 1100 mm, sets a different mood — one for relaxed conversations and long cocktail evenings.

DNA of the bar:

  • Functionality
  • Versatility
  • Responsibility
  • Value
