Multi-use Space

Café Style Seating, Accessible Coolers & Counter

                    The space comfortably accommodates both dine-in and grab-and-go customers. A row of commercial beverage coolers with glass doors makes it convenient for customers to browse juice selections without overcrowding the space.
                

Neutral Color Palette

Whitewashed Brick & Simple Finishes

                    A white-washed exposed brick wall creates a rustic-chic feel inside. The neutral color palette throughout the space compliments the colorful produce ingredients and juice containers.
                

About the Space

On Central Street in Wellesley

Situated on historic and commercial Central Street in Wellesley, Cocobeet is an organic, plant-based eatery and specialty juice bar. In addition to cold-pressed juices, Cocobeet offers smoothies, soups, vegan salads, and gluten-free sandwiches. The Wellesley location is the Boston-based company’s second outpost. Occupying a former toy store, Studio Luz transformed the space for Cocobeet to feature a bright new storefront and versatile interior seating space. The layout comfortably accommodates both dine-in and grab-and-go customers. A display counter features simple material finishes, while a white-washed exposed brick wall creates a rustic-chic feel. The neutral color palette throughout the space compliments the colorful produce ingredients and juice containers.
