Cafes are becoming a lot more popular over the years than ever before, and the competition is tough. If starting your own café or coffee shop is your dream, then you should take the leap and start budgeting and planning. You need to understand your competition, such as ‘chain stores’ and other local run cafes too.

Getting the décor right, coffee shop décor has become interesting as this can be what draws your customers in. Quirky furniture and vintage styles have taken over, but how long will this style last, you need to try and create an idea that you have not seen in other cafes.

Everyone loves a good coffee, getting the blend right and doing your research and testing out the best flavour beans to represent our shop, people will travel further to get a great tasting coffee.

There is no better way to start your new year than with a new venture, good luck.
