Step #1: Determine Goals for Your Coffee Shop

Your business’s name is the very first connection you will make with prospective customers. It’s important that you define your organization’s mission, vision, values, and target audience as much as possible. 

Before naming your venture, ensure that you fully understand exactly how you will run your company. Familiarize yourself with the industry and determine what it takes to start a successful business by conducting thorough research.

Here are a few factors to keep in mind when launching and naming a coffee shop:

• A coffee shop offers people a place where they can quickly grab a coffee, a pastry, or another specialty drink, and also provides customers an inviting space to work, relax, or socialize.
• People who love coffee, food and other people are well-suited for working in or owning a coffee shop. The business involves plenty of hands-on work making beverages, and business owners regularly interact with both employees and customers.
• An ideal customer is someone who has discretionary income and enjoys food and beverages. Customers with little discretionary income are less likely to purchase higher-priced beverages and food items.

Step #2: Begin Brainstorming

We’ve shared some brainstorming techniques that you can use to get your creative juices flowing.

• Jot down some specific keywords for your coffee shop business name. Here are a few examples:
  • Coffee
  • Roastery
  • Cafe
  • Coffeehouse
  • Java
• Think of adjectives that would describe your coffee shop and the types of products offered to derive inspiration. Here are some examples:
  • Warm
  • Roasted
  • Delightful

Creative Approaches to Naming a Coffee Shop

The following are helpful tips to help you find a unique business name that is relevant to you and/or your industry:

Capitalize on Business Location

The name of your city is one great way to brand your business. You can also think of nicknames that define what your city or state is well known for.

Connecting Through Emotion

Words that evoke a certain emotion, reminders of personal experiences, and travel memories may be good for branding. 

Pun Fun, Word Combination, and Alliteration

Make brainstorming fun by creating puns, combining two relevant words and/or concepts, or by using same letter and sound repetition.

Short and Sweet

Oftentimes, simply using one word for a business name can be more powerful and engaging for clients/customers. Carefully consider your brand and brainstorm adjectives and synonyms that describe your business idea. For instance, if you own a coffee shop, ask yourself how you would describe what you’re offering (e.g., warm, delicious, etc.). Consider how you want your customers to feel (cozy, awake, unique, etc.), and so on.
