The pop-up is conceived as an embodiment of discovery, connection, and the artistry of coffee brewing, set against the picturesque backdrop of Egypt’s North Coast. It’s more than just a space; it’s an experiential journey designed to ignite the senses and enhance every coffee experience, embodying the profound narrative that Dancing Goat Coffee embodies.

The Dancing Goat Coffee pop-up embraces the spirit of the seaside with its simple, fluid arch design crafted from expanded metal mesh. This material choice not only ensures resilience against the coastal elements but also allows for easy assembly and disassembly, echoing the transient beauty of summer. The design merges durability with aesthetics, offering a welcoming space that glows from dawn till dusk, providing a poetic backdrop for every coffee lover's seaside escape.

The structure’s design allows for easy disassembly, making it an ideal choice for seasonal operation. The aesthetic and functional qualities of the expanded metal mesh provide a resilient yet elegant framework, aligning with the popup’s temporary nature while offering a durable, reusable solution each summer.

The structure’s interior is lined with polycarbonate panels, chosen for their durability, flexibility, UV protection, and resistance to shattering. A layer of shade fabric between the polycarbonate and the metal mesh provides sun protection over the counter area. The floor combines interlock bricks and a sand topping, extending the beach feel inward and enhancing the sensory experience. Neon LEDs trace the arches of the metal framework, injecting a youthful, modern vibe that mirrors the energy of the beachfront.
