If I could run a cafe, it would be an exciting and inspiring work. The first thing I care about is the quality of coffee. Although I don’t have much knowledge about coffee, I would hire some professional guys to select premium coffee for my cafe, and create the exclusive ones to attract consumers’ awareness. Except the flavor, interesting or even exaggerated decoration is another important feature I care about. We should do it from the uniform, which I think is the notable decoration of a cafe. How about the vintage style with contrast color? And if we could print some classic painting of pop art, it would be so beautiful while the waiter or waitress moving.
