here are some ideas to consider when thinking of the perfect name:
- keep it simple: choose a name that is short and sweet and try to avoid cafe names that are difficult for the average citizen to pronounce or spell (pun intended). you want them to be able to remember you instead of settling for the nearest coffee shop chain. (yes, we’re looking at you, starbucks!)
- Find your specialty drinks and treats: Find inspiration, perhaps at the bottom of a cup of coffee (or two, or three). “Espresso,” “mocha,” and “latte” all sound good in a name, especially for someone who craves a cup.
- use your own name: if your name is joe, celebrate it with a shot of espresso! espresso joe sounds pretty good! Even if your name isn’t Joe, it will add personality and homeliness to your cafe’s name.
- Use your location: Location plays an important role in the success of your coffee shop, so why not emphasize it in your store name? Manhattan Mocha, Jacksonville Java, and Boston Baristas are just a few examples to get the juices (or should I say coffee) flow!
- use adjectives: use a coffee drink or tasty treat in the name? try adding different adjectives (spicy, homemade, sweet, etc.) to see what goes well together.
- Use the theme: If your cafe will have a theme, incorporate it into the name if possible.
- Think about your audience: Are you trying to target your coffee to a certain crowd of people? If this is the case, keep this in mind when thinking about coffee names. young people probably don’t frequent a cafe called “old man’s cafe”.

get opinions from others
after making a very long list of possible names (it’s okay to list a few that seem silly or outrageous, as this list will be shortened, and after reading these outrageous names a few times, you might like them more), give the list to close friends and family members and ask them to choose the names they like. this will give you an idea of what names will give your coffee shop that top-of-the-line appeal, the kind of appeal that can make all the difference.
If you’re really having a hard time coming up with a name, or if you find yourself stuck between a few good ones, invite a group to discuss it over coffee (how appropriate!). keep drinking that coffee and the name will come to you.
