Sustainable materials that work in modern coffee bars
Eco-friendly materials don’t have to compromise aesthetic. Reclaimed
wood pairs beautifully with metal bar stools, balancing rustic warmth
with modern industrial design. Recycled metals and glass create a
sleek, contemporary contrast, while earthy materials like clay and cork
add organic depth to the space. The right combination of textures
enhances the atmosphere, ensuring that sustainability is an integral
part of the design, rather than an afterthought.

For coffee bars looking to elevate their space further, local artist
can contribute custom décor, murals or handcrafted furniture made
from sustainable materials. This not only adds a unique touch, but
also strengthens community ties and supports small creators. A
well-designed, eco-conscious coffee bar doesn’t just benefit the
environment, it enhances the memorable coffee experience that
keeps customer coming back.

High-end ordering solutions
Customers expect convenience. A long wait, a slow checkout, or
a confusing menu can push them towards competitors. High-tech
ordering solutions keep service efficient, cut down on bottlenecks,
and improve client satisfaction, all without sacrificing the coffee
bar experience.

Coffee bars that integrate smart, tech-driven ordering systems remove
friction from the process, allowing customers to place orders quickly
and get their drinks or food without unnecessary delays.

A well-designed outdoor seating area does more than add extra
tables, it creates an inviting space that draws in foot traffic, enhances
customer comfort and boosts overall revenue. Whether it’s a sidewalk
café a courtyard, or a patio, outdoor seating transforms coffee bars
appeal by making it feel more open, social and flexible.

What is Café Core?
Café Core is about embracing the lifestyle of coffee bar culture as
much as the aesthetic. Whether this mean fostering a sense of
community and connection, but also creating solo moments to
slow down and find a reprieve from the whirring repetition of life, it
embodies the feeling of comfort and nostalgia.

It’s all about comfort and romanticizing the pleasures of life:
A good cup of Coffee.
