Coffee shops have always been popular gathering spaces among coffee lovers, but with the rise of remote working, especially post-pandemic, they have become a hotspot for remote workers and students as well. One of the many reasons why they are such a popular hangout spot, other than the fact that they serve one of the most globally-adored drinks, is because of their well-designed interior spaces that promote comfort, relaxation, and productivity simultaneously. After all, it's always been said that architects and coffee go hand in hand. In this interior focus, we explore how different design elements shape the user experience of a coffee shop, and look at how architects have employed them through 17 examples.
Along with the quality of drinks being served, design plays a major in the success of the coffee business. Designing a café demonstrates knowing how each and every space caters to its users; what it takes for customers to sit and move organically, the dimensions of the space and designated zones, how to utilize the space in a cost-effective and efficient way, how customers on wheelchairs move around the space, and how to comply with and ensure health and sanitary regulations.
