How to name a coffee shop: 6 stages of naming

To choose a juicy, sonorous, original name for a coffee shop, you need to go through the following naming stages:

target-audience-research   Target audience research

First of all, you need to understand what kind of people will come to the coffee shop: who they are, what they do, what they want and don’t want, what attracts them. It often happens that people come to a coffee shop not just to drink coffee, but for something much more. Some come to chat with friends, others make a romantic date. Some drop in for a short while to resolve a couple of issues with a partner or client over a cup of coffee. Others just want to be alone with themselves in a spiritual atmosphere, work, read, dream. Agree, everyone has different goals and different things attract them. That’s why it’s so important to clearly know your target audience.

 

     
competitor-analysis   Competitor analysis and market research

An analysis of the names of competitive enterprises is needed to identify names that are already on the market (and which cannot be repeated), as well as to determine current naming trends. Knowing this information, you can identify the strengths of a coffee shop that competitors do not have, and thereby stand out in the market.

 

 

     
product-research   Product/service research

This stage is necessary to highlight the characteristics and advantages of the brand. And thanks to them, it is advantageous to present yourself in a niche.

 

 

     
definition-of-concept   Defining the main concept

Based on the available information, a way is being developed to correctly present the features of the coffee shop to the target audience through the right name.

 

 

     
neim-generation   Name generation

Based on the collected data, the developed concept and the wishes of the customer, the most beautiful and semantically correct names for the coffee shop are selected.

 

 

     
selection-of-the-best-nyms   Selection of the best names

After compiling a list of possible names, the most suitable options in terms of style and general message (according to the concept and all the nuances) are selected. At the request of the client, the selected names are tested in focus groups, as a result of which the optimal option is selected.

This is exactly what the process of developing a name for a coffee shop looks like in the WeLoveBrands studio. And we are ready to walk this path with you to create the best name for your establishment.

What a good name should be: selection criteria

We have more than once encountered the fact that after receiving a list of names, the client is lost and cannot decide on the final choice. Because all the names are good (WeLoveBrands studio does not create others) and it seems that each of them fits perfectly. What to do in this case? There are two solutions: trust the opinion of the focus group or choose on your own. If you prefer the second option, here is a list of criteria to help:

memorize-easy   the name should be easy to pronounce and remember;
   

 

euphonious   The name should fit the ear well and be understandable;
   

 

positive-associations   the name should evoke only positive associations;
   

 

semantic-load   the title should reflect the semantic load;
   

 

differentiate-from-competitors   the name must be different from the names of competitors.

 

TOP 6 life hacks for choosing a name for a cafe

Do you want to learn the tricks of professional namers so that when you think about your coffee shop, something clicks inside and the name appears in your head by itself? We don’t promise clicks, but we can share some life hacks:

1. Remember that the name conveys the atmosphere and peculiarity of the establishment. Therefore, you should not call the cafe “Creme Brulee” if, in addition to ice cream, you are going to serve pasta, chicken Kiev and Olivier to boot.

institutional-feature

2. Think ahead about SEO. If you choose a proper name as a name, be prepared for the fact that the cafe’s website may not be on the first lines of search results (and maybe not on the first page). If you google the website of the Elena cafe (without the word cafe), you will first have to scroll through links to dozens of pages of all Elenas on social networks, then links to all Elena celebrities, news about them, etc. In general, you understand - it’s better not to do this if you subsequently plan to create and promote a website for your establishment.

promote-venues-website

3. The name should be such that it is good and easy to remember . It just stuck in my memory. For example, “LONDON”, “Doubleby”, “BOTAN”, “Blackwood” are good names. They are easy to read, softly pronounced, fit perfectly on the ear and are therefore perfectly remembered. Well, they are stylish, of course, which is also cool.

memorized

4. In the process of naming a cafe, it is important to take into account the cuisine. For example, a sushi set or pizza is clearly not the kind of food you expect to see in an establishment called “Khutorok”.

consider-the-kitchen

5. Be sure to check how the name of the establishment sounds in normal conversation. After all, the phrase “Yesterday we were at Kharms” sounds much better than “Yesterday we were at Prolet.”

auspicious-name

6. The name must be unique. Plagiarism in naming can lead to extremely negative consequences.

unique-name

WeLoveBrands studio will develop a unique name for a cafe or coffee shop that will sound great, be instantly memorable and reflect the philosophy. They will also develop a cool design and corporate identity.

How to choose a name for a coffee shop: 5 approaches

Of course, there is no single correct approach to developing a name. Because some namers prefer brainstorming, while others, for example, prefer a name generator. In addition, approaches may vary depending on the naming object itself. However, there are 5 most common approaches to the name development process - they can be mixed or used in a “pure” form.

name-generators   Use name generators. The Internet is full of sites that generate names for any establishment. In order for the program to give you a couple of names, you need to indicate the name, type of food or cuisine and the location of the establishment. After this, the robot will generate the name of the coffee shop or cafe. Obviously this is the easiest way to create a title. Lightweight, but far from the best. Because programs often produce words that simply sound similar or produce them randomly.

 

     
experimenting-with-words  

Experiment with words. You can add letters, remove them, swap them, combine several words into one (partially or completely), create abbreviations, etc. For example, the noodle cafe “Doodles” is a combination of two words Noodle (noodles) and Doodle (doodle, squiggle).

 

     
symbolic numbers  

Use dates, symbolic numbers or favorite places as the name of the coffee shop. For example, one Taiwanese chain of coffee shops did this, calling their establishments 85ºC - this is the temperature that is considered optimal for brewing coffee. Great idea for a name.

 

     
brainstorming sessions  

Organize a Brain Storm. Creative people often have brainstorming sessions, during which the most creative and successful names are born. Perhaps the name will come in the third second, or perhaps even after a few days. Each case is individual, so there is no time frame here.

 

     

visualize-the-name

 

Visualize the title. Sometimes it’s easier to come up with a name for a coffee shop or cafe if you imagine it written on a mug, a sign, or, say, on a waiter’s uniform.

 


Naming specialists from the WeLoveBrands studio use different approaches to develop cafe names - they mix the above or come up with their own. And they always achieve the best results for their clients.

7 sources of naming inspiration

To come up with a cool name for a coffee shop or cafe, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel and struggle with creating complex, tricky words. It's enough just to look around. After all, sources of inspiration are often all around us, you just need to know where to dig.

where-venue-is-located   Geolocation. Look where the establishment is located. Perhaps there is something interesting, unusual or even mysterious in this place. So why not use this feature in the name? This is what the owners of the iconic Parisian coffee shop “Closerie des Lilas” (“Lilac Corner”) did in the distant past. Its terrace surrounded by greenery and the crazy aroma of lilacs still attract hundreds of visitors, making the establishment famous for all time.
     
institutional-context   Menu. Sometimes inspiration can be found in the product itself. The name based on the main dish of the establishment shows the target audience the specifics of the establishment, its uniqueness and character. This is exactly what the owners of the establishments “BEEF Meat & Wine”, “Chachapuri” (restaurant of Georgian cuisine), “Khinkalnaya Gogi”, “Cheese Factory”, “Chicken Run” did.
     
unusual-nickname   The people who surround you. Just look carefully at your loved ones, your family. Perhaps some of them have an unusual nickname that can be used as a name or some other unique feature? This is how the name of the popular coffee shop “Doubleby” was born: the grandmother in the owner’s family was called Grandma Batman by her grandchildren – abbreviated as BB, that is, 2B, Doubleby. And the name of the famous coffee shop “Setter's” comes from the name of the breed of the beloved dog (Irish Setter) of one of the owners of the establishment.
     
cafe-format   Cafe format. For a children's cafe, cartoon words or those that kids can easily pronounce are more suitable. For example, “Aunt Motya”, “Three Bears”, “Miracle Yudo” and so on. In the name of the anti-cafe you can use words related to the concept of “time”, related to students or taken from youth slang - “Tsiferblat”, “Ohm”, “Dean’s office”, “Campus”, “LASY”, “Time car”, etc. d.
     
character-names   Fiction. A popular technique is to use the names of characters from literary works, the names of the works themselves, or the names of writers as names for cafes and coffee shops. According to this principle, the names “STURBUCKS” (the name of the captain’s mate from the novel “Moby Dick”), “Good Enouhg”, “Man and Steamboat”, “White Rabbit” and many others appeared.
     
entourage   Entourage. Today, the naming trend is for words denoting cutlery and other household utensils. Cafe "Turka" and "Lozhki", gastropub "Tarelka", restaurant "Vilka" - all these establishments are named according to this principle. Just keep in mind that the item you mentioned in the title must be actively present in the interior of the establishment. You need to focus on it and build a concept. Therefore, think about everything in advance.
     
names-with-word-coffee   Coffee. Well, here is the hero of the occasion. There have already been a lot of variant names for coffee shops with the word “coffee”. But you can come up with dozens and even hundreds more. It may not be a very original solution, but it clearly conveys the specifics of the establishment.

And there are many more such sources of inspiration. Just look around. And you will see the WeLoveBrands studio, which will happily and completely readyly take on the development of the name and corporate identity for your coffee shop or cafe. Enjoy your new project and clients, be inspired by ideas and create an atmosphere, and leave all the hassle to us.

Literary name of a coffee shop

The literary name of a coffee shop is a trend in recent years. Such establishments, as a rule, combine a cozy atmosphere, a pleasant atmosphere and literature, and therefore attract book lovers.

Often in coffee shops with a literary name you can not only read something interesting, but also buy souvenirs and other small handmade goods. Thus, in Kyiv there is a cafe “Paliturka”, on the ground floor of which you can enjoy a fragrant drink in a calm atmosphere, and on the second floor you can visit an art store.

Examples: Pushkin, Hugo, Onegin, 12 chairs, Cheshire cat, Rubai, Ded Mazay, etc.

The name of the coffee shop in English: pretentious or atmospheric?

Many coffee shop owners choose names in English for their establishments, or at least use nyms written in Latin. You can make sure of this by opening any list of the best cafes in different cities.

For example:

  • in Kiev: EspressoHolic, One Love, Come and Stay, Svit Kavy, Honey;

  • in Lviv: Atlas, Black Honey, 7sevenheaven, KaVa, DREAMERS PLACE;

  • in Odessa: THE ROASTERY by Odessa, Atelier. Design & Coffee, White Whale Coffee;

  • in Dnepr: HIGH HILL, Sweet Gallery, Culturist Coffee, Zeffirino, Radio Wave Coffee, Coffee Life;

  • in Kharkov: Lemon Tree, Fifties, Wild and Mimimi, Sweeter, In The Mood, Sneaker mate.

The popularity of English-language names is due to their dynamic and effective sound, as well as the fact that such names expand boundaries and help attract new audiences, including foreign tourists.

For other countries, English is either their native language or is used as an international language, again to expand the target audience.

The name of a coffee shop in English allows you to stand out among competitors, focus on drinks, desserts or foreign cuisine, reflect the specialty of the establishment in the name and create a special atmosphere.

Often these names use the word “coffee” or types of coffee drinks (Magic Coffee, Latte Art, Espresso Bike, Craft Coffee, Bublik's Coffee, etc.). You can also put your first name, last name and region in it (Mr. Black, Central Perk, British Bakery, Venezia, Federico & Co, Skuratov Coffee) or combine the Latin alphabet with the Cyrillic alphabet (Umka, Zerno, Zapravka Coffee, PEREC, etc.) . Only in the last technique you need to know when to stop and not overdo it, otherwise you can easily end up with some kind of LES or MED.

When choosing a name, including an English one, don’t be afraid to experiment. Think over options that will convey the features of the cuisine, reflect the style of the establishment or evoke the emotions you need, make a list of associations, and then discard everything primitive and too pretentious. And if you have no ideas, contact the WeLoveBrands studio, and our namers will develop an atmospheric name for the coffee shop for you.

The name of the coffee shop in Ukrainian is beautiful and stylish

As we said earlier, most of the names of coffee shops in Ukraine are in English. The rest are either in Russian or Ukrainian. Ukrainian names are more typical for the cities of Western Ukraine and Kyiv, and also for chains of coffee shops operating throughout the country (Lvivska Chocolate Workshop, Lvivski Plyatski).

Therefore, if you are planning to open an establishment somewhere in the center, south or east of Ukraine, it is quite possible to use Ukrainian. This will help not only to stand out among competitors, but also to show that your establishment has a Ukrainian soul, regardless of its specifics, be it traditional design with ethnic elements, modern interior or, for example, hipster style.

All Ukrainian names of coffee shops can be divided into 3 groups:

  1. Coffee are those names that include the words “kava”, “kava” and derivatives (Tse kava, Svit kava, Lvivska kopalnya kavi, Kavyarnya-knigarnya, mini-kavayarnya Kavovi dereva, Rozumna kava, Vlasna kava, Klyova kava, Stanislav's kava, Kava factory, Kava guild, Pan Persidsky's kav'yarnya, etc.).

  2. Sweets are names that are associated with confectionery and sweets (Licorice kazka, Mantulki (a dialect that means “sweets”, Vanilla, etc.).

  3. Original names associated with the history of the institution, region or founder:

  • Without doors - a two-story establishment with a terrace and no entrance doors;

  • Under the blue dance - this was the name of the first coffee shop, which was opened in Vienna by the Ukrainian nobleman Yuri Franz Kulchitsky;

  • Videnska Cave is the first coffee shop opened in Lviv at the beginning of the 19th century, which is still operating today, and “Videnska” because the tradition of drinking coffee came to us from Vienna;

  • Apartment No. 3 – a place with live music and the atmosphere of a music salon of the late 19th century);

  • On bambetle - an establishment where you can drink coffee while sitting on a bambetle - a wooden sofa;

  • Zefirski is a family establishment;

  • Speak Ivano-Frankivsk (locally called GIF) is an authentic establishment with excellent coffee and the history of the city scorched into newspaper clippings on the tables;

  • Filizhanka – means “cup”;

  • Fixage – the name reflects the theme of the coffee shop, which houses a collection of antique photographic equipment;

  • Fresco – the interior of the establishment is decorated with frescoes;

  • Skavaridka (the name reflects the café's specialty - roasting beans with your own hands).

This list can be continued indefinitely. Among the voiced options there are both banal names and very interesting ones. That is, it’s not a matter of language. You can come up with a catchy, intriguing name in Ukrainian, the main thing is a smart idea, your imagination and the desire to popularize your native language.

And since there are many Ukrainian names for coffee shops only in Western Ukraine, the owners of establishments in other regions can occupy this niche, stand out from hundreds of competitors and effectively emphasize their uniqueness.

Catchy coffee shop names in the USA

Coffee in the USA is part of the culture. The drink is so popular that not a single day of Americans can go without it. They drink it everywhere - at breakfast, lunch and dinner, at gatherings with friends and business meetings, while walking and relaxing. It was in this country that the world-famous Starbucks coffee chain appeared and the “third coffee wave” movement began, which changed the attitude towards coffee. Now Americans drink it not only on the go for the effect, but also slowly savor it, like a delicacy, enjoying the taste.

Today, about 70% of people in the United States drink at least two cups of coffee daily, and coffee shops are the third most common time spent after home and work. There are small establishments that serve popular filter coffee, cozy and stylish coffee shops with different types of coffee, and places where employees select and roast the beans themselves. And customers often bring their own coffee cups to coffee shops (to save cups and protect the environment).

The first places where you could drink the aromatic drink appeared in 1670 in Norfolk, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans and other cities. Famous places were the London Coffee House, Gutteridge Coffee House, and Green Dragon.

coffee-shop-naming

The first establishments copied English coffee houses and were more reminiscent of taverns where one could spend the night, have dinner, drink coffee, beer or wine. This is where deals were made, auctions and personal meetings were held.

At first, coffee in North America was available only to privileged layers of society, but after the Americans decided to move away from England and raised an uprising, throwing the cargo of tea that arrived from there into the water, the invigorating drink “went” to the masses.

As for the names of American coffee shops, the most common ones are those that are directly related to coffee, its varieties and types. Words that evoke associations with making coffee, an aromatic invigorating drink, are also used. But there are also a huge number of places with interesting, funny names.

Names of popular coffee shops in the USA :

  • with the words “coffee” – Birch Coffee, Drip Thru Coffee, Daily Rise Coffee, 44 North Coffee, Cuban Coffee Queen, Brigade Coffee, Drifter Coffee;

  • with words and phrases that evoke associations with coffee, a coffee shop, aroma and taste - FINNS Barista Bar, Sweetleaf, Mobile Barista, Love You a Latte, Demitasse, Stonefruit Espresso;

  • original names - Black Bear, Omaha Bicycle, Pied Cow, The Rush, Maman, Toby's Estate, Sweatshop, Piertj Nolita, Black Fox.

The best coffee shops in Europe: names that impress

coffee-shop-namingcoffee-shop-namingcoffee-shop-naming

The tradition of drinking flavored coffee comes from Vienna. There were more than 600 coffee shops in this city at the beginning of the 19th century, and now there are more than 1000. They were the center of the world of art and literature. Here they read newspapers and books, discussed painting, music and architecture. And it is not surprising that Viennese coffee houses are included in the UNESCO cultural heritage list.

Today, coffee shops around the world have become more diverse - in menu, style and design. Some establishments remain true to tradition, and some are themed. They all have their fans and their own special atmosphere. What about names? Let's look at the most interesting of them.

Viennese names of coffee shops

Here, as a rule, they use words related to culture, bohemianism and famous personalities, as well as geographic reference and phrases on the topic (Mozart, Museum, Hawelka, Central, Kaffee Alt Wien, Sperl, Sacher, Demel, Hofburg, etc.).

Name of coffee shops in Italy

Venice was the first city in Europe to discover the taste of coffee, and the first coffee shop appeared in Piazza San Marco in 1646.

British coffee shops

Statistics show that the British have begun to drink coffee more often, and therefore the number of coffee shops in the country is growing.

In the late 1960s, such places attracted bohemians who wanted to distance themselves from the “ordinary people” hanging out in pubs. Most of the coffee shops were located near theaters and were owned by French and Italians living in Britain. Even now, there are many traditional Italian, French and Austrian coffee shops operating in the cities of the kingdom. British ones are mostly modern. Hence the variety of coffee shop names.

In Britain they get along well: Mrs Atha's, Brew Lab, Laboratorio Espresso, Queen's Lane Coffee House, Kilimanjaro Coffee, Red Roaster, Prufrock, Look Mum No Hands, Workshop, Mother's Milk, Black Box, Lanark, White Mulberries, Vergnano 1882, Kaffeine, Princi et al.

Name of a coffee shop in France

The French are very fond of coffee and coffee shops. In the middle of the working day, they take a break to drink a cup of aromatic drink and chat. This is the reason for the huge number of coffee shops on the streets of Paris and other French cities.

As for names, here you can find names in French and English. There are traditional and modern, short and long, there are even unexpected ones for the famous French flavor. A common option in France is to add the owner's surname to the title.

Examples of names of French coffee shops: Closerie des Lilas, Strada Café, Dose, Matamata Coffee Bar, Le Peloton Cafe, La Cafeotheque, Coutume, Le Télescope, Lomi, Fragments, Verlet, Matamata Coffee, Boots cafe, LOUSTIC, OB-LA-DI, PARTISAN CAFE ARTISANAL, Terres De Café, Ibrik, LE MALABAR, HEXAGONE, Brûlerie de Belleville, Hollybelly.

Many European coffee shops have been welcoming guests for decades, if not centuries, and remain just as popular. Atmospheric places with good coffee and pleasant service attract locals and attract tourists. There is a lot to learn from them.

Each coffee shop, like its name, has its own history. It’s ideal if you can combine an effective name, an attractive interior, a special recipe (or other feature) and excellent service.

And if we help you with the first, then you must do the rest yourself. Contact the WeLoveBrands studio and get a memorable coffee shop name that will best reveal the strengths of your business.
