Coffee shop owners are a creative and talented bunch. There is so much competition and so many factors that go into the operation that it takes a special type of person to make the leap into the industry.

For most, it starts with a passion for coffee and community. But there is so much more that goes into starting a great coffee shop.

Like most businesses, the interior design and efficient use of space is a vital step towards success. Cafés, in particular, must battle with real estate constraints. Coffee shops benefit from being in urban areas with high foot traffic.

But it comes with a high price tag. So many coffee businesses are forced to get creative and design their café for areas with less square footage. Hopefully, you’ll find some inspiration, and let us know about your own experience!
