Cafe Con Leche Pop Up

LOCATION: LAFAYETTE PARK, DETROIT
YEAR: 2012

Cafe con Leche de Este is a community led pop-up coffee shop and event space located within a vacant storefront within the Lafayette Park strip mall. Working with the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation (DEGC), the owners of the Lafayette Shopping Plaza, the Jefferson East Business Association (JEBA), the Lafayette Park community, and the cafe owners of Cafe con Leche, rogueHAA designed, managed, and constructed the pop-up retail in under four weeks. The budget was $4000 and included all construction materials, furniture rental, labor, artwork, ceiling and lighting treatments, signage, and interior accessories. The pop-up cafe and community event space occurred during the entire month of November, hosting multiple movie screenings, lecture events, and community gatherings.
