A brand built on craft and connection.

Benchside Burritos serves authentic Mexican food in Berlin, celebrating tradition and community with every bite. The name reflects the idea that a simple bench can be enough to share a meaningful meal.

We translated Benchside’s values—tradition, care, and connection—into a visual identity that feels handmade, approachable, and grounded in real human stories, just like their food.

Desiging a handmade identity inspired by handmade ingredients.

We leaned into expressive, hand-drawn elements from benches sketched in ink to custom typography crafted with rusted nibs and loose brush strokes. The result is a textured, human-first identity that celebrates craft and handmade as part of the story.
