Greenery abounds throughout the cafe. This seating area faces the outside, adding to the indoor-outdoor experience.
The design feels contemporary yet warm thanks to wicker lighting, colorful artwork, and cozy benches.
Bright yellow stools with black leather cushions pair well with the natural stone bar.
A corner table gets a tropical touch with floating shelves and plants.
A full glass facade makes for a welcoming storefront.

Lawyer-turn-entrepreneur Cassandre Davilmar, along with her business partner, Isiah Michael, saw something missing in her neighborhood: a place for healthy-minded people to gather for camaraderie and movie nights. She turned to Sweeten, a free service matching business owners with vetted general contractors, to find a general contractor who would work with her and her interior designer. From greenery and bright colors to wicker light fixtures, they created a casual outdoor backyard indoors—an “oasis” between two major subway lines on bustling Utica Avenue. Specialties of the house: The Lakou Delight smoothie, Haitian patties, and PB&G (Haitian peanut butter and ginger jam) sweet crepe.
