Menlo Park, CA

Canteen, a captivating 800 sqft wine bar and cafe, was the inaugural retail establishment at the bustling Springline mixed-use residential building in Menlo Park. Embracing a distinct Spanish accent, the modern design blends soft white oak tones with striking blackened steel accents.

The cafe’s ambiance is further elevated by custom-designed furniture from Luke Bartels and artwork by Schuyler Beecroft. At the focal center of the dining experience is the expansive, ceiling-height open wine shelving, showcasing an impressive collection of wines. The nautical-inspired passage to the semi-exposed kitchen adds a unique touch, inviting diners to glimpse the culinary artistry beyond.
