Designs Cafe

A celebration of craftsmanship & culture ✨

We are delighted to introduce our collaboration with London-based Persian ceramic artist .jann

Inspired by the beauty of nature and the timeless elegance of Persian motifs, Sofi creates one-of-a-kind handmade ceramics that tell a story through every detail.

Together, we have designed an exclusive collection that brings together traditional Persian artistry and the signature colours and aesthetic of Designs Café 🌿

You can now enjoy your favourite Persian teas served in these beautiful handcrafted teacups and saucers during your visit to the café. And if you fall in love with them as much as we have, they’re also available to purchase from our gift shop 🌿🫖☕️

A little corner of Designs Café that we’re incredibly proud of.

Our gift shop is thoughtfully curated with products from British independent brands, many of which can also be found in some of the UK’s most renowned retail destinations. Bringing these beautifully crafted collections into our creative café feels very special to us.

As you can see, our much-loved Persian teas are now also available to purchase, so you can take a little piece of the Designs Café experience home with you. 👀

And the best part? We’re constantly discovering new makers and adding fresh products, so there’s always something new to find on your next visit.

Pop in, take your time, and explore. ✨
