The Boy & The Bear

The Blue Store began with a color the founders found on an ordinary object and liked enough to build a whole room around. Every wall wears its own shade of that muted blue depending on where the light lands, with burnt orange and white oak keeping it warm.

• Pour-overs of the house Colombian lots
• A pastry under all that blue
• Mid-century lines and white oak
• Customer parking off Western Ave

The house Colombian-first roast runs the bar — espresso, pour-overs, and the Emerald Series rare lots — with matcha and fresh pastries beside them. Origin-named retail bags — Bolivia: Finca Rosita, Peru: Juihuay — sit on the shelf.

A family of blues, one slightly lighter and one slightly darker, over mid-century lines with rust brown and white oak giving the eye a place to rest. The palette is precise enough that the store page prints its CMYK values.
