There are many things to consider and put in place before your cafe is up and running; namely, well, the name!
The right name says a lot about your brand and what it stands for. Your business name is what distinguishes you from all other cafes doing the same thing.
When choosing a cafe name, remember to keep it short, simple, and catchy. Your cafe name could be inspired by anything, from your actual name to your favorite place. Your cafe's name should also be easy to pronounce, you don't want people giving their cab driver the wrong address after all. Did you know that a small cafe is also called a bistro? Perhaps you could incorporate this into your cafe name too?
