About Godshot Coffee Odesa

Reimagining Space: Godshot Coffee Odesa

War uprooted the local business owners from their hometown, yet resilience led them to a new start. Petrossjan Studio stepped in, innovatively crafting new standards to elevate the establishment into a burgeoning chain. Furthermore, the studio strategically emphasized spaciousness and breathability, aligning seating against the walls on bespoke hollow brick benches. Additionally, they infused character into the space, sourcing hand-painted sale tiles and preserving the walls and ceiling. Remarkably, the wall behind the bar stands as a living mosaic, showcasing a century of architectural history.

A Taste of Heritage and Innovation

Godshot Coffee Odesa offers more than just nourishment; it serves a wide range of third-wave coffee, artisanal treats, eco-wine, and breakfast options. The café not only caters to the palate but also to the soul, celebrating a blend of historical integrity and contemporary design. Here, every sip and bite invites a connection to a storied past and a promising future.
