Amazing Details Every Coffee Bar Must Have

Create a coffee bar.
Think about the design, menu, and items to make it a perfect place for your barista to make coffee!

As a business owner in the coffee industry, one of your most defiant challenges is to create the coolest coffee bar or station. Think about the Central Perk cafĂ© in the popular TV series, Friends. How amazing Gunther’s work was. He gave his business a cozy look. Yes, you want your clients to feel at home and feel that they can have a good chat with you and your baristas.

Believe it or not, the atmosphere you manage to have at your coffee bar will make your clients want to stay longer. There are crucial elements of design that can bring everyone’s attention. But among all of the aesthetics, the most important aspect you must check first on your list is to hire a professional barista with a good sense of socialization.

That being said, select your coffee-making essentials, such as coffee machines, coffee beans, grinder, cups, and additional ingredients. Then, give them a new twist and make them look chic! Take notes of these tips to create an amazing coffee bar.   

Make it a show

Most people like to see how their coffee is made. When designing a coffee bar, try to locate the barista’s workplace facing your customers. Making coffee is an art these days, and you should please your business clientele with a good show.  

Funny signs

Everyone has a motto now. Place some framed quotes and phrases related to coffee, and how perfectly imperfect life is. Your clients not only will feel more understood and laugh, but they will definitely want to take a picture of it and post it on their social media accounts. Here are some ideas:

  • Have a cup of cheer
  • First I drink coffee, then I do things
  • Coffee is a cup of hope in a world full of chaos and mondays
  • Don’t make me use my before-coffee voice
  • Coffee, my hot friend I was telling you about

Decorate with mugs

Coffee mugs come in different sizes, colors, and shapes. The vintage ones are a trend. They are old fashion, but they will give a homey feeling to the spot. You can use them as storage for sugar, for instance, and even to plant some cool cactuses. 

Made it crystal clear stocking

It is also trendy to show all the ingredients in crystal clear stockings, especially jars with beautifully roasted beans, those delicate cinnamon or cocoa powders, freshly ground coffee, and a bunch of marshmallows. You can use uniform bottles of honey, maple syrup, and chocolate syrup. And because each one will have the same kind of stocking, remember to add some labels on them.    

Rustic menu

Instead of showing your beverage options on a lame piece of paper, try writing it on wood or maybe a blackboard. These days, there is nothing fancier than using different kinds of texture in your menu decorations. You can also write them down on a glass, like if it was a frame or a window.

Hide some stuff

Install some drawers to hide those unattractive implements used by your baristas. A tidy up space is always better, especially if you want your clients to focus on the artsy way their coffee is being made, instead of how messy the coffee bar is. Please, do not make it look like a messy kitchen! Think about functionality and aesthetics. Cabinets can do the trick!

Add plants

Plants will add a warming homey feeling. The ones that will not die if you forget about them or won’t be an obstacle in the process of coffee making, they have to be short and wasteless, such as cactuses, jades, air plants, aloe vera, and succulents.
