Friendship Cafe, Providence, RI

The interior fit-out for the Friendship Cafe provides a training site for those enrolled in Amos House’s Culinary Education program. This non-profit cafe sits at the corner of Broad and Friendship Streets in Providence, inviting visitors in with its outdoor seating terrace and bright interior colors.

The 1,510 sf cafe was designed to appeal to a diverse crowd from breakfast through lunch. The flexible seating in the middle of the space can be cleared away for various evening programs. Built-in benches, constructed and installed by Amos House’s carpentry training program, were designed to line the perimeter of the space. A dedicated wall space incorporates special sponsorship bricks.
