How to choose a coffee shop name

Short wins on a cup

Aim for one or two words. Long names get cut down by customers anyway, so choose the short version yourself.

Borrow the ritual

Words about mornings, steam, copper and the corner you sit in say "coffee" without using the word.

Leave room to roast

If you might sell beans later, avoid names that only make sense as a café.
