Brand Tone

Playful, Fun, Approachable, Friendly, Quality-Conscious, Trendy, and Instagrammable

Brand Values

• •Quality: Strong emphasis on high-quality coffee beans (Sightglass), pastries (Chaumont Bakery), and food items (Farm Shop).
• •Customer Experience: Creating a welcoming, fun, and aesthetically pleasing environment where customers can enjoy themselves ("Everyone deserves to be comfortable in a beautiful space").
• •Freshness and Sustainability: Stated as central to their business.
• •Community/Local Support: Using locally roasted beans (Sightglass) supports local jobs. Being a neighborhood spot that is a "safe haven."
• •Joy and Positivity: "We love pink, because it makes people smile."

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Pink (Visually and Verbally): Consistently incorporate the fun, vibrant, and playful association with the color pink into the language. Don't just show it, talk about it. "We love pink, because it makes people smile."
• •Balance Fun with Quality: While the tone is lighthearted, always find opportunities to subtly weave in the commitment to high-quality ingredients (e.g., "Seriously good coffee," "Parisian perfection"). This builds trust and justifies the experience.
• •Speak Like a Friendly Local: Use approachable, warm, and inviting language. Imagine talking to a friend. Phrases like "You'll dig our neighborhood" or "Come by and bite into..." create a personal connection.
• •Highlight the Experience, Not Just the Product: Federal Coffee sells an atmosphere and a feeling as much as it sells coffee. Focus copy on the "urban chill vibes," "LA sunny days," and the joy of visiting.
• •Engage and Be Community-Focused: Use questions in social media, feature user-generated content, and emphasize local partnerships (like Sightglass beans being locally roasted). This reinforces the "neighborhood spot" feel.
