"Inside a former 10,000-square-foot antique European furniture warehouse, Milli occupies the front of the house, offering views into the new Metric roastery and the Milli bakery. Warm colors and varied textures of brick, wood, stone and plants balance liveliness and comfort throughout the seating and service areas. Tall windows and vertical pillars draw attention to unique overhead lighting and creative inlaid designs that fill every inch of the soaring space."
""Darko's hand is everywhere in the design, from the way the service spine guides the guest flow to the way light itself becomes a building material, and he managed to tame a massive warehouse without carving it into boxes," Metric Coffee Co-Founder Xavier Alexander told Daily Coffee News. "The most remarkable part is that we built it without outside investors. Painful? Absolutely. Worth it? Completely.""
Metric Coffee completed a three-year project by opening Milli, a combined roastery, headquarters and all-day bakery café in Avondale. Milli occupies the front of a former 10,000-square-foot antique European furniture warehouse and provides views into the Metric roastery and an on-site bakery. Interior design uses warm colors, varied textures, tall windows, vertical pillars, unique overhead lighting and creative inlaid designs to balance liveliness and comfort in the soaring space. Skylights flood the space with daytime sun; large modern pendants and a 3D-printed light fixture by Darko Arandjelovic illuminate evenings. Milli debuts as a daytime eatery with seasonally rotating pastries, a full coffee menu, retail wine and plans to expand food offerings and hours.
