ABOUT ELEMENT
TAMARAH SYLVAIN:
OWNER. CREATIVE DIRECTOR.
FROM CHILE TO PENNSYLVANIA

Element by Bodega exists at the intersection of design, craft, and community. “Element” is inspired by the elegance of Art Deco French design and the historic character of the Brossman building, timeless, layered, and quietly refined. It reflects our belief that beauty lives in the details, and that every space should feel deliberate, grounded, and thoughtfully composed.
“Bodega” comes from Bodega Coffee Roasters, our parent company, rooted in Puerto Rican New York culture, where a bodega is more than a shop. It is a gathering place, a constant, a familiar corner where everyone is welcome. It represents warmth, accessibility, and community.
Together, Element by Bodega is where refinement meets welcome. A space shaped by history, elevated by design, and rooted in connection. This is coffee with intention, served in a place where everyone has a seat at the table.
