If you’re a fan of rodeos and all-things cowboys, HOOF COFFEE will greatly interest you. From a cowhide tapestry to a horseshoe umbrella holder, it’s clear that HOOF COFFEE takes inspiration from the Old West.

Even at first glance, HOOF COFFEE manages to stand out from its peers – largely old-school repair shops – with its eye-catching storefront.
The store banner bears a Western-inspired design and complemented by a set of decorative horns hanging above it. Even the cafe’s main door is designed like a barn door, driving home HOOF COFFEE’s cowboy influences.

The stoop of the cafe is lined with cushion seats so that even if you’re just ordering a cuppa to go, you can still wait for your order in comfort.

A vintage cowboy parking sign that doubles as a small bench in front of the store adds to the rodeo style of the cafe.

The interior of the cafe is filled with decorations that are greatly influenced by cowboy themes, such as a chandelier shaped like moose antlers, rustic hanging light bulbs, a display case with an old-school rifle, and a cowhide tapestry.

To top it all off, there’s even a tall potted cactus near the cashier.

A noticeable feature of HOOF COFFEE is the liberal use of horseshoes that double as fixtures such as a toilet paper holder, umbrella stand, and even a doorknob.
Old-timey posters that look like they’ve been around since the heyday of the cowboys further decorate the walls of the cafe.

The size of the cafe is fairly small – there are only 4 round tables and 1 bar chair, so HOOF COFFEE can get quite crowded during peak hours.

However, if you don’t mind the weather, you can enjoy your drinks and desserts outside the cafe on the cushion seats or on the bench that doubles as a decorative parking sign.

Paralleling the overall cowboy aesthetic of the cafe, the menu is designed to look vintage and browned. However, their menu items are distinctly modern and pretty standard cafe fare.
