Finding a great catchy name for a café may be a complicated task, mostly because that it seems that all possible brands were already used. However, the careful analysis of the existing names shows that they can be divided into the separate groups and that there are certain principles of naming. This classification will make a choice a lot easier for new business owners as well as for experienced businessmen.
How to Name a Café?
All café names can be virtually divided into 4 main groups: names associated with coffee, brands associated with food (meals, spice, fruits, vegetables, etc), foreign names, and other original brands. Each of them has its own features and advantages that are carefully described below.
- Names associated with coffee. This group is quite diverse, because to create such brands, one can combine different words, from the most widespread keyword ‘coffee’ to coffee varieties. These names can include such words as ‘bean’, ‘espresso’, ‘mocha’, ‘Arabica’, etc. You can make any combinations, puns, and phrases and your name will still be thematic.
- Brands associated with food. Names of vegetables, fruits, meals berries, spice, and words related to cooking can be used in naming as well. They can be combined with the ‘classic’ keywords, for example ‘cafe’ or ‘eatery’ or with any other words. Such brands are quite catchy, for instance, Champignon Café, Blue Jam Café, Sweet Treats, and so forth.
- Foreign names. The business owners can also use foreign words and phrases, especially if in you “specialize” in the cooking of dishes of the particular national cuisine. There is an infinite number of variants, from simple brands, such as Café Bellissimo to the complicated ones, for example, Eduscho Mit Einem Twist.
- Other original brands. This is the most diverse group of brands. Some of them include the keyword ‘cafe’, some do not, however, all of them are quite creative. They may be associated with certain locations, countries, people, moods, historical figures, and even materials. Most of them consist of two words, but there are shorter and longer variants as well.
