The Expo at Forest Park situates a warm, transit‑oriented neighborhood café at the doorstep of St. Louis’s celebrated Forest Park, serving residents, Washington University students, commuters, and park visitors. Anchored by a prominent corner condition and generous glazing, the design reveals an inviting interior that showcases coffee craft through a large, two‑wall coffee mural detailed with linear strip lighting. The store’s material and lighting strategy creates a visible, hospitable destination that supports both quick pickups and relaxed visits.
