Blue Bottle Coffee’s Mint Plaza cafeย is the only Blue Bottle in SF with a fully realized food menu. This gorgeous space – open, airy, tall ceilings and all – has been captured artfully in the medium of Lego.
Glegh!ย Blue Bottle blogs:
โThe layout I wouldnโt have been able to get down so well if I hadnโt worked there so much,โ Lee says. โA lot of the details, Iโd take a reference photo so I could go back.โ
โIf I get into something, I really get into it,โ he says. โThat was definitely the case with this.โ
The space isnโt exactly to scale, but it is nonetheless extremely detailed: Along with its flower display, newspaper racks and condiment station, Lee added a hat, which belongs to one of Mintโs regulars (a gentleman named Bob). It hangs on a hook in one corner of the cafรฉ.
โI actually have a full Bob mini-figure,โ he says. โBut if you look at the stools, theyโre smooth on the top, so he wouldnโt be able to be securely sat down. But yeah, the Bob mini-figure exists.โ
