The Trendy New Coffee Bars are Standing Room Only

Many of the chain coffee shops have become free office space for laptop loungers. Understanding the cost of space, many coffee shop entrepreneurs have realized that coffee bars are the way to go. It cost less to open a coffee bar with less space requirements than a full blown coffee shop or cafe. Chest high counters offer the perfect amount of space to drink a cappuccino while conversing with other patrons. After all, the coffee bar is for drinking your favorite specialty coffee while having a chat not for having your nose stuck to a laptop for hours while sunk into a comfy chair. In a coffee bar the focus is back on the specialty coffee and the barista. People are there for the coffee and not for a place to simply lounge for half the day connected to Wi Fi. Standing at the counter, interesting conversation flows and camaraderie develops. This leads to a devoted customer base. Customers that buy coffee, drink it, leave and then come back the next day are exactly what the barista and coffee shop owner want and need.
