September Coffee is more than just a café—it’s a space where friendship, hospitality, and adventure intersect. Inspired by the serene yet exhilarating energy of the Atlantic Coast, the café was designed to evoke the feelings of a fresh start, calm mornings, and the thrill of new experiences.
Founded in 2016 as a café, retail space, and surfboard shaping studio, September Coffee has grown into a beloved community hub. It represents the balance between calm and excitement, fueled by a passion for coffee, surfing, and connecting with others.
Goal: To visually capture the duality of September Coffee—a place that offers the tranquility of a morning coffee paired with the energy of community and adventure.
Focus Areas:
1. The café’s inviting, thoughtfully designed interiors.
2. The friendly and diverse team that makes September Coffee unique.
3. The sense of community and connection the space fosters.
