Barnes and Nobel Coffee Bar down the road from the Deptford Mall in Deptford,
New Jersey. This is a great, clean, efficient bar. The bar uses
ground coffee supplied by the roaster and a 8 oz. cup as a scoop. They
scoop out a cup of ground coffee, put it in the brew basket, and brew the
coffee. This is fine, saves on two grinders and the time to grind, but
requires frequent deliveries of coffee to insure freshness.
Keep going.
Cookie cooker, Otis Spunkmeyers, soup heaters, airpots, microwave, clean
counter, cash register and a candy or sweet display to tempt the paying guest.
Nice signage, easy to get from SCAA or KMO,
espresso machine facing the audience, prepackaged beans on the counter, logo
mugs on counter, and Yohay sweets on counter. Surprised customer.
Really nice 4' cooled pastry case, and a double sliding door, self service
bottled cooler for either in line use or for behind the counter. The slide
makes it fast and easy to use with one hand for the lady carrying her child.
The staff member is brewing and there are no grinders. Ground coffee is
supplied by the roaster on a very frequent basis to insure freshness. We
hope. See the Cold drink dispenser, ice machine in back counter, syrups,
two espresso grinders next to the espresso machine, which is facing the
audience.
Prepackaged bean display which you can make for under $100 or buy from used
display suppliers such as Gershel Brothers in Philadelphia.
Logo mugs which you can buy in small quantities (100 to 500) for under $1,000
total and $2 or so each. Sell for $5 or $6. Again you see
prepackaged whole bean and ground coffee.
This coffee bar sells a ton of coffee drinks. This would be great for Library's.
