We partnered with Terry’s Cafe, the legendary traditional English cafe and full English breakfast institution located on Great Suffolk Street, South London. Founded in the early 1980s by former Smithfield market trader Terry, the business is now proudly run by his son, Austin. He commissioned us to re-invigorate the South London cafe brand identity and web design, balancing a modern appeal with deep respect for the cafe’s long-standing history and its status as a local landmark.

Core Identity

Our approach to the cafe branding and design focused on celebrating the business’s heritage while elevating its visual presence. The new brand identity features a distinctive golden beveled logo system paired with a premium, nostalgic colour palette of red, gold, white and cream. We used bold vintage raised typography to give the design a tactile feel, ensuring the identity feels timeless and authentic to its physical South London location.

Application & Merchandise

We deployed this cohesive design system across all essential cafe collateral, including sub-brand logos, new shop signage, window decals, custom crockery and tableware, business cards, and menu designs. A unique element of the project was the creation of a full range of Terry’s Cafe merchandise, featuring bespoke mascot illustrations of Austin himself, adding personality and collectible appeal to the brand.

Digital Presence

We designed and developed a comprehensive cafe website (a key digital presence piece) that serves as the central hub for the brand. This site allows customers to explore the cafe’s history, check out the latest breakfast menus and specials, make table bookings, find news updates, and conveniently buy Terry’s Cafe merchandise online. This brand revitalisation project successfully positioned Terry’s Cafe for future growth while cementing its status as an authentic London breakfast spot and heritage cafe.
