SHIFT BREAK! The New Classic Cafe: An Era of Understated Excellence

Coffee shops come in all shapes, styles, sizes, and focus on many different aspects of social experience and craft. If we look back we can see that certain themes emerge. Whether it is the 90's coffee shop with bold colors, self serve airpots, lots of sugar, and no wifi, the early 2000's sparse coffee temples with no sugar, or the modern coffee shops that seem to be serving anything but coffee as long as it sells. (that last one is me being cynical)  The cafe will always be a bit of a litmus test for the culture. In today's Shift Break we will be talking about what I believe is emerging as a new classic coffee shop model and why it just may be the best version to come out yet owing to some timeless traits that may help us make actual progress. This episode was the response to a question a listener asked me. We exchange a few voice memos on IG and I thought it would make a great subject.
