A Simple Space for a Community Favorite
Antoinette Bakery & Cafe found its home in the historic Fox Block Building, a mixed-use redevelopment in downtown Tulsa. This 2,700-square-foot coffee shop is designed with practicality and comfort in mind, providing a warm and welcoming environment for patrons. The space balances modern needs with the character of its historic setting, creating an inviting spot for guests to gather.
Blending Comfort with Functionality
The front-of-house design offers a variety of seating options, including cozy booths, open tables, and a bar top overlooking the street, ensuring guests can enjoy the space in their own way. Simple yet thoughtful features, such as a service counter with historic-inspired details and floating shelving with a functional library ladder, contribute to the shop's charm while supporting smooth operations. The design prioritizes usability and comfort, making the cafe a reliable go-to for the local community.
Honoring the Past While Looking to the Future
Rooted in the history of the Fox Block Building, the design respects the integrity of its surroundings while offering a fresh, modern take on cafe culture. The use of carefully selected materials and finishes reflects the character of the historic setting, ensuring the space remains a natural extension of its environment while supporting the growth of a beloved Tulsa destination.
