Best coffee in the USA – Only for real coffee lovers

Summer Chamberlain Coffee Shop Tips

Coffee is a potion that infuses energy into our bodies and gives us the push necessary to get up and work. But coffee isn’t just fuel. If it were, then there wouldn’t be dozens of different types of the same.

We love this potion, and that love spawned our coffee shop. We welcome all coffee lovers that are interested in drinking the best coffee in the town. Our menu contains many different types of this drink that includes both hot and cold potions. Keep on reading and see what we offer. The list below will have just some of the items on our menu.

Regular coffee types you will find in our shop

We will divide items from our menu into regular and exotic potions. On the standard list, you can see coffee, you are used to drinking, while the exclusive list will contain coffee you might not be aware of.

If you visit our shop, you will notice that at the start of our menu is the Espresso or as some call it short black. Espresso is the core of over a dozen of coffee drinks you will find in every menu. Doppio aka double espresso is a potion that contains two espresso shots and this is an excellent example of the espresso being the core of many other drinks. From that, we get short and long macchiato that are just one and two shots of espresso with the addition of milk and foam.

Café Latte is a drink which is based on micro-foam and steamed milk. This adds sweetness to this beverage and makes it almost alien when compared to an average espresso. Same applies to Piccolo Latte that also contains steamed milk and micro-foam. The main difference is that this drink uses Ristretto as a base instead of a regular espresso. As you know, Ristretto is an espresso variant that uses half the amount of water with the same amount of ground coffee.

Exotic coffee-based beverages we sell

We call these drinks exotic because they are rarely sold in coffee shops across the country. If you are interested in one of these, then come to our store and try them.

Turkish coffee is an excellent example of an exotic beverage that tastes better than regular items we mentioned. It has better aroma, taste, and body because it isn’t prepared in the same way as espresso. This potion uses a stronger type of coffee beans, and it is finely grounded which makes it possible to extract more flavor from it. The coffee is added to water that was brought to boil and then it is left to boil again. The result is a pitch black liquid that is bitter and tasty at the same time.

Café Cubano is another exotic beverage that is rarely seen in coffee shops. It’s made with an espresso machine, but it is twice as powerful as regular coffee. The extra strength comes from dark roasting and fine grinding of the coffee beans.

What makes a coffee shop so great

Summer Chamberlain Coffee Shop Tips Coffee shop, Tips

A coffee shop can be many things at once. It fills you with good vibes and helps you relax or helps you collect yourself and read a good book with a cup of your favorite coffee.

coffeeeWhen you think about what actually makes a coffee shop the best place in the world, three things instantly become clear. First of all, it is the coffee. A good cup of high quality coffee can wake your entire system up in an instant and get you up and going. So, good coffee comes first and it is the thing that matters the most.

Many people will tell you that they are going to coffee shops only because of the high quality coffee which is completely understandable. When it comes to great coffee, it is quite simple actually. Great coffee needs to be flavorful, strong and dark.

The warm feeling of a mug in your hand

We’re huge advocates of real mugs. Why? Well, because it gives a sense of a home away from home. Coffee in your favourite mug is one of life’s simplest pleasures. A real mug makes a customer feel at home while having a cup of coffee in our shop. Making customers feel comfortable means them coming back for more.

And the third thing is that a coffee shop needs to be a place where you can relax, mentally and physically. Seating options should always be comfortable, and the same goes for the tables. Customers will gladly spend time somewhere where they feel comfortable and relaxed.

coffee1Other than these three things, some snacks should be up there on the menu. A good coffee shop has always some tasty snacks that are going extremely well with certain types of coffee. Brownies, cookies, baked goods, chocolate and fruit will only make people order more coffee. A good coffee shop should always have those on offer if they want to become successful. So, take all this into your consideration if you want to run one.

Important things to know when running a coffee shop

Summer Chamberlain Coffee Shop Tips Coffee shop, Tips

Many newbies who want to run a coffee shop think that wide range of products is the key to success. What they forget is one simple fact. A customer that comes to the coffee shop is simply hungry or thirsty and that is it. If you have a really wide variety of products on the table, that sometimes can create anguish. A wide choice is not always the best choice as people like to say.

The best thing to do is to make sure that your customers get what they actually want. Adding too many items to the assortment can be confusing and takes more time, cost and effort. Therefore, it is not a good solution if you need to get your business going.

Always pay attention to your margins. Make sure that you merchandise your margins and price them according to a standard customer value. People like to get accustomed to paying the same price for some certain product. Putting a lower price on products that are on demand will make better returns for sure.

Have a plan how to attract more customers

Attracting  customers and keeping them returning to your coffee shop is half of the job done. If you manage to establish a solid base of customers and make them come again and bring their friends along, you can say that you will always do well. People like to maintain their habits and it is your job to become a habit of theirs. If they get used to spending time in your shop, you will never be out of business.

shopIn order to keep your customers coming back, you need to think about some good and healthy food that goes well with your sorts of coffees. This really matters, especially in the morning. Having some baked goods or brownies and cookies is always a good thing.

Always try to pre-make as much as possible. Homemade products like brownies and cookies mean that the customers know what they want and what they will get for their money. If you keep them waiting, they will probably not want to return. However, if you are able to constantly provide them with what they want. you will establish yourself a line of customers that will keep returning for sure. This is simply because they know they can always get what they want.

Try to get to know your customers as much as you can. Knowing their needs and will enable you to meet them easily, developing. Most of them work in small offices with a lot of pressure and stress and they need to see your coffee shop as something peaceful, a place where they can relax and take a break from all those hardships and constant problems.
