Here are 9 trends in coffee shop design as found by Bon Appétit Magazine:

1. Pale wood – Use it for your tables to shelves and counters.
2. It’s in the beans – Don’t just focus on taste, customers are just as interested in the origins of the coffee.
3. Pay Pal – Download this app on your table and make the sale go even faster and smoother.
4. 70s baby!  – Pull out those vintage 70s music and hit play!
5. House Drink – Make sure to create your own signature house drink.
6. Coffee and more – Add a sparkling water chaser to an espresso.
7. Merchandise for sale – Designate a section in the shop for the sale of your merchandise products (roasted-in house beans, branded mugs, tote bags, chocolate, etc).
8. Efficient machines – Choose efficient machines that help the coffee making easier.
9. Fresh Flowers – Display fresh wildflowers.
