Our journey with Habitat Cafe in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad started with a clear vision: to create "your new adda." This rooftop cafe, nestled in the heart of Hyderabad, aims to be a haven where people feel at ease, welcomed, and involved. It’s more than just a place to grab a coffee; it's a space where lasting memories are made, whether it's day or night. We wanted Habitat Cafe to be a place that felt like home, fostering a sense of community among its patrons.
Your New Adda
The visual identity of Habitat Cafe reflects this vision. We designed a submark logo with three coffee cups stacked on top of each other, symbolising the coming together of people, the joy of repeated drinks, and the creation of good memories. The colour palette features warm, inviting hues that evoke comfort and hospitality. We chose classic and timeless typography to enhance the welcoming atmosphere of the cafe.
Physical Collaterals
In addition to the visual elements, we designed various physical collaterals to reinforce the brand identity. Custom-designed uniforms, produced in-house through our sister concern Sorted Print Shop, ensure brand consistency and quality. We also created custom coffee cards that talk about the speciality coffees, their roast profiles and the story behind the coffee served at Habitat. The easy-to-navigate menus reflect the cafe's warm atmosphere, and tabletop tent cards to encourage online ordering and promote specials and events, adding to the engaging environment of the cafe.
Habitat Cafe making the waves in Hyderabad
Habitat Cafe has quickly become a popular spot in Hyderabad, known for its inviting atmosphere and community favourite rooftop. The success of this branding project is evident in the positive feedback from customers, increased social media engagement, and a growing number of repeat visits. The unique identity and welcoming vibe of Habitat Cafe have made it a memorable destination for both locals and visitors.

At Studio Sorted, we believe the true measure of a branding project's success is how memorable and impactful it becomes for its audience. Habitat Cafe stands as a testament to our commitment to creating brands that foster a sense of community and belonging. This project highlights how thoughtful branding and strategic design can create a welcoming and memorable experience. We are proud to have helped make Habitat Cafe "your new adda" in Hyderabad.
