Coffee Shops

A Coffee Shop is a specialized retail model focused primarily on the craft of brewing and serving coffee, espresso-based drinks, and other beverages. While many also offer a limited menu of pastries, sandwiches, or light meals, the core of the business is the beverage program. The operational blueprint of a successful coffee shop hinges on a highly-trained team of baristas, significant investment in specialized equipment like commercial espresso machines and grinders, and a meticulously managed supply chain for high-quality, often single-origin, coffee beans. The ambiance and store layout are critical, designed to accommodate different customer behaviors from quick grab-and-go service to longer stays for work or meetings.
