aftermarket-
the brainchild of gino belassen and anthony fiorelli, of caffio espresso.
the “underground” brutalist galerie and italian caffè concept is where BELHAUS was born. what was once a place to meet for a cappuccino inside what was secretly still a semi-private artists’ studio in downtown phoenix- actually, it’s kind of still that.
or, at least feels like that.
the space never lost its creative touch. with the gallery now having it’s independent space in uptown phoenix, aftermarket operates as the “museum gift shop and caffè” to the museum gallery, BELHAUS. it’s still a place to discover a curated selection of original artwork from local and international artists, but also a place to be inspired…
everything here is manual. from the machine, to the menu, to our beans, our syrups, and all design build-out. everything by hand, made in house by our people. keeping the feeling of the studio alive, and felt.
-and i believe it’s felt.
the menu typography is all handset, individual letters from a 1972 helvetica letra-set mounted onto a gessobord, and framed in steel. it hangs the bar like a painting would, but disguised. our coffee beans, roasted in house. the syrups, the same. the lumio and bizou are our staples. lumio was named after a small beach in corsica, and bizou, after our late studio *and shop* dog. long. live. bizou. the newsstand, meant to resemble a vintage parisian street kiosk that’d sell original drawings (or crêpes) along la seine now houses strap film lab to develop b&w and color film in under 1hr at aftermarket. the 6, our suite number is still the gallery logo to represent our beginnings. upside-down, it’s a g. representing the guy behind it. everything’s intentional, brutally honest, and true to us…all tells a story. yet, you probably wouldn’t know unless you read this. so-
if you made it this far, i love you.
-and hope to see you in aftermarket soon.
caffè open daily from 8a — 6:00pm.
