The interior of Too Soon has a "geometric black beam ceiling, sleek modern bar and black, white-outlined wallflower wallpaper get their hues from bisexual-tone LEDs", according to Willamette Week.[6] The New York Observer says, "Inside, the sleek and contemporary furnishings are bathed in soft lighting, creating a cozy yet upscale ambiance."[7]
