I am happy to share with you that the Grand Opening of Dripp Steam & Cream Cafe, Chino Hills, CA is tomorrow, Thursday November 17, 2011. So go check out Davis Ink's design and indulge in Dripp's yummy products. I am excited to see my design come to life!

Can't wait to go there, myself, and photograph my experience!

My Design Life - Dripp Steam & Cream Cafe

Dripp will be the second completed project of my Davis Ink Ltd. career. I am in love with this project because of its rawness + industrial elements and I am absolutely infatuated with reclaimed wood!

Dripp is located at the Shoppes of Chino Hills in Chino Hills, CA. Their product is very unique, if you've been to one of the Intelligentsia Coffee shops in Los Angeles, this place has similar attributes. They utilize a Japanese slow drip technique, where each cup is brewed one at a time, to order, using specialty-roasted, ground daily coffees and espressos from all over the world. And for those of you with a major sweet tooth, like me, they will have specialty made-to-order ice cream sandwiches.

I can't wait to see the finished design, but for now here are some teaser photos from my visit to the job site (taken with my Driod Phone).
