How to design the coffee bar in a cafe?

In my opinion, the soul of a cafe lies in the design of the coffee bar. I often see good coffee bars that I am reluctant to leave, but so far I have not seen many satisfactory bar counters.

The coffee bar is also the front of a business, the first thing consumers can see, and it is also where baristas often work.

What does a good coffee bar look like?

Of course, the biggest role of the bar is work, and a series of core tasks in a daily coffee shop occur at the bar. However, if the coffee bar is properly designed, it can actually have both functionality and beauty.

The commonly seen coffee bars now include L-shaped bar counters, straight-shaped bar counters, oval-shaped bar counters, etc.

In the early days of Shangdao, comprehensive coffee shops such as this one generally had a straight bar counter due to their relatively large area, which made them appear more high-end and elegant.

As for the coffee bars in the past two years, due to area restrictions, the bar tends to be L-shaped, which can make better use of space, but the aesthetics of small-area bars are much worse.

In terms of material selection for bar counters, marble countertops, wooden countertops and stainless steel are mostly used.

The coffee bar countertop should be selected according to the decoration style of the store.

Business cafes basically choose marble countertops

Private boutiques often use wooden countertops

There are also many who like complete stainless steel countertops such as stainless steel.

In terms of some details, the coffee bar is also divided into more areas, such as the Italian coffee production area, hand-brewed coffee experience area, etc.

There are some relatively small coffee shops. The coffee bar area is the guest area. Consumers can communicate with the barista face to face. Now the bar also has some features such as hooks/USB charging, etc. that consumers need. Function.

The design of the bar counter is for a better experience, and it also brings business to the cafe, reduces unnecessary repetitive work, and improves efficiency.

In today’s world where people are paying more and more attention to coffee experience, the coffee bar is still a reflection of a coffee shop’s professionalism and service.

You may not be able to tell at once whether the coffee tastes good or not, but whether the design of the coffee bar is good or not can be seen at a glance.
