Rachel’s Creperie is a local hot spot in Lancaster, and the hope was to make the coffee bar area at the entrance more functional for the staff, create more space for to-go orders, better work and traffic flow, merchandise area, and update the look to match the newer design of their Richmond Square location. The existing coffee bar was small and “floating” in the middle of the entrance, so by shifting it against the wall, TK Building & Remodeling opened up more floor space for additional cabinetry, storage, and traffic. A window in the back was replaced with a door that leads to the parking lot for curbside deliveries without having to make your way through everyone and go out the main door. A closet was removed and redesigned as a register and prep area for orders. A custom merchandise unit was created to showcase local products, information, and apparel. A bench seat with storage was added at the entrance for customers while waiting, and another bench area serves as additional seating. A center wall was built to hide extra workspace in the back and to be an area for the menu. The cabinetry was built to house various equipment, ice boxes, freezers, espresso machines, mugs, glasses, trash cans, and plates. Reclaimed wood at the bar when you walk in reflects the same rustic look as their other café, as well as the colors and flooring.
