More Than a Place to Grab a Meal

River Café, located inside Barrett Hospital & HealthCare, partnered with Kinetic Greenhouse for a brand refresh designed to elevate how the café shows up and how it’s experienced. Barrett is an existing client of Kinetic Marketing & Creative, and this collaboration created a natural opportunity to extend that partnership into a space that serves staff, patients, visitors and the greater community every day.

The café’s previous logo, created a few years prior, no longer reflected the warmth, sophistication or intention behind the space. The goal was not to reinvent the café, but to refine and elevate it. To create a brand that feels welcoming, recognizable and clearly positioned as more than a standard hospital cafeteria.

A Logo That Feels Inviting

The refreshed brand direction focused on creating a logo and visual system that felt warm, polished and approachable while remaining professional and refined. We intentionally preserved River Café’s signature Barrett Hospital & HealthCare blue to maintain brand recognition and strengthen its connection to the hospital, while updating the overall look to feel current and cohesive.

Redefining the Hospital Café Experience

One of the key objectives of the rebrand was shifting perception. While River Café is located inside Barrett Hospital & HealthCare, it is open to the public and offers an experience that goes beyond what people typically expect from a hospital café.

The refreshed identity helps clearly communicate that River Café is a destination within the hospital. A space designed to draw in foot traffic, invite people to linger and create a sense of comfort and care. The brand now helps people immediately associate River Café with quality, warmth and intention rather than convenience alone.

 

A Thoughtful Collaboration

As an extension of our ongoing partnership with Barrett Hospital & HealthCare, this project was a meaningful collaboration for our team. It allowed us to apply thoughtful branding to a space that plays an important role in people’s daily routines and moments of care.

The refreshed River Café identity is warm, approachable and elevated. A brand that feels at home inside a healthcare environment while still standing confidently on its own. Exactly where good design belongs
