Name for New Coffee Shop

[Wilson1802]

I am looking at opening a coffee bar which would be located at a commuter train station. The coffee bar will focus on espresso based specialty coffee drinks and also offer pastries and single serve desserts from local bakers. Our goal is to be universally viewed as the best tasting coffee in our area. We will achieve this by using the highest quality ingredients; superior roasters, filtered water system and prepared by skilled baristas.

I am looking at a few names and wanted to get opinions on which name best fit our concept. Keep in mind that "Coffee Bar & Desserts" will be added to each name option.

1. Grind & Tamp
2. Kaldi's
3. Tamp & Steep
4. Wake Up
5. Espresso Xchange

 

[Mr.Peaberry]

Welcome to coffeeforums.com Wilson1802. Hope you hang around. Well I don't like the word tamp, so options 1 & 3 in my opinion are out. Kaldi's is probably over used and does not imply any creativity in naming what you hope to be a singularly unique coffee experience. I would combine 4 & 5 to get "Espresso Up"...just a thought.

Hmmmm...

I suppose that "Sir Reginald Worthington's Coffee Bar & Desserts" is out then?

On a more serious note, I kind of agree with Mr. Peaberry's initial thought, but I would keep brainstorming. "Wake Up" is too generic and you don't want to use "Espresso" in the name and then follow it with "Coffee Bar". That would be just weird.

Focus on the part of the business where you provide the "best tasting coffee" in your area. The name will come.

Welcome to the forums. My personal feeling is too much thought is put in names. I know most will disagree with me.
The name will come as John already stated. But I will remember a great product and its location.
Your goal is to supply the best coffee in your area. That will be your footing for success.

Keep in mind I am a "corny guy", My thought for a name would be "All Aboard Coffee.. And".
Hoping only the best in your new venture!

How about, "New Coffee Shop"!

Would get great word of mouth. "Let's Go To The New Coffee Shop".

People like the word new, and your coffee shop would be forever new. titter titter.

since it is at commuter train station, I would go with....
"Espresso Train Depot" Coffee Bar & Desserts.

but that sounds too long, so I would go with...

ESPRESSO Train Depot
- Coffee bars & Desserts -

or Just..[FONT=Helvetica, Arial]..
ESPRESSO Train Coffee Bars & Desserts[/FONT]

Here are a couple incorporating train terminology
1. Espresso Express
We keep you on track
2. Helpers Espresso
helpers are locomotives used assist tonnage trains over steep grades
you could call your barristas, "hoggers"(nickname for engineer)
3. Outlawed Espresso- "Outlawed" Is a train crew members who have reached their daily 12 hour maximum of hours worked must cease working due to regulations
4. Station Master Espresso
5. Switchman Espresso.
6.Tank car coffee
7. Wayside Espresso

Yes, you did hijack the thread.
It's better if you start your own.
In the meantime, here's a suggestion for a name:

Pop Up's Coffee
