That's one very open bar. Id feel very exposed 😦
Miyuki782 29 points 2y ago
I covered in a store that was set up very similar to this and the customers were the worst backseat baristas
TJW351 73 points 2y ago
Are y’all gonna put chairs on that end? I visited another location today that had a bar like that on one end for customers to sit at. As a barista that would make me so self-conscious
reclusivegiraffe 34 points 2y ago
same. i hate when they stand and just. stare. at you
marklandia 21 points 2y ago
Hmm I guess it's an unpopular opinion but I love it when customers watch me. There's definitely a performance art aspect to the job and tbh some of these drinks we make are kinda rad.
dayahorne 13 points 2y ago
I don't mind them watching but when you get that one customer who's watching every single thing you do, its like ugh...
AchillesHealed 9 points 2y ago
Your store's customers must be a higher caliber person than mine's if you don't want them gone as soon as fucking possible.
medusas-garden 20 points 2y ago
I don’t think so. I think that’s the mobile order handoff station. The table doesn’t extend far enough to put chairs under it

When I first got hired, I worked at a cafe store that had 4 seats at the end of the bar. They would face the same way you’re thinking the seats would be in this photo. Honestly occasionally there would be the back seat barista that sat there but most the time it was the regulars who sat there who were very chill and were not the type to complain. Everyone else seems to want to avoid those kind of seats unless that’s all that’s open.

I’ve had regulars who would tell off rude customers for us when they knew we couldn’t say anything. Makes us smile every time.
krym32zamoon 2 points 2y ago
Bless that angel. All stores need regulars like that.

It gives me weird vibes not seeing any plastic barriers… like looking at a bygone era…
sapphic-slut 7 points 2y ago
I was trying to figure out what looked off about it!
[deleted] [OP] 33 points 2y ago
It’s so clean…and nice…and you have 3 frap blenders🥲
cuseisalive 29 points 2y ago
That one behind the nitro will be a cold foam powerhouse
[deleted] [OP] 7 points 2y ago
Even better
Millerboycls09 19 points 2y ago
Finally, some counters that don't look dirty 100% of the time, even when they're clean.

So. Much. Space. For. MOP. Handoff.
morrisseyhatebot 9 points 2y ago
we’re the second highest volume store in the district and the amount of mobiles we get is insane!! we used to have a teeny tiny handoff spot so we are all so happy that it can finally fit everything
Mayachees 3 points 2y ago
Right!! We get so many mobile orders! But our mobile order handoff is tiny.
kitsustar17 8 points 2y ago
My store has a similar look but the floors they went with are tacky af to me.
Mayachees 6 points 2y ago
So fresh and so clean, clean!!
spacebrain420 6 points 2y ago
I thought my store was big
cuseisalive 5 points 2y ago
Three blenders!
pitabitch 5 points 2y ago

MeinCrouton 3 points 2y ago
Be nice if they spent that kind of money on their baristas instead
baehar 3 points 2y ago
THREE BLENDERS!!! Be still my beating heart!
totaledtick9544 3 points 2y ago

coffeeaddict3416 2 points 2y ago
ok but can we see PRE renovation 😳
morrisseyhatebot 2 points 2y ago
not a super great picture but i had to find one on google since i never took one myself lol https://imgur.com/gallery/n7svhen
coffeeaddict3416 4 points 2y ago
it’s so much brighter now ! 😍😍
morrisseyhatebot 2 points 2y ago
i know! i’m very glad it got brightened up a bit. the windows are pretty small so at least with the new tile and everything it gives the illusion of more light!
reclusivegiraffe 2 points 2y ago
our store needs a renovation so badly
MeWanKoffee 1 points 2y ago
Is this store in Jersey? 👀

MeWanKoffee 1 points 2y ago
Ha! I think I know what store it is. Tim is your sm? Some of your partners were at my store during reno. It looks sooo different and a definitely upgraded. Yall needed more room behind bar hopefully you got it now. It’s looks so nice!!! 😍
TherudestLiz 1 points 2y ago
It’s so beautiful! We have our remodel scheduled to start July 26 and I’m so excited!!

Are you a cafe store? Do you have a food display or anything? I don’t see ovens lol. I hope our store remodel looks this light and pretty 😍
morrisseyhatebot 2 points 2y ago
ovens are back in the corner! you can’t really see the pastry case from this angle but it’s there. and we are a very high volume cafe store, but i would estimate that about half of our sales come from mobile.
TherudestLiz 1 points 2y ago
I *think* that’s sort of how our store may be setup after our remodel. My manager says things and I’m just like ‘uh-huh, yeah I understand’ lol. We are a DT store though. We have to walk all our mobiles past our ovens currently and it’s really the worst.

i can’t wait for my store’s renovation 😍
RyanWasTakken 1 points 2y ago
I was gonna say all the old creepy men ready to sit on the end of the bar but i read the sign above and couldnt be happier

dnims24 1 points 2y ago
This looks just like a store I was borrowed at in San Francisco
jy_mee 1 points 2y ago

cancel94 1 points 2y ago

What needs to be renovated? The store looks beautiful I can’t see what there is that needs to be fixed.
jdestinyp 5 points 2y ago
The caption says “post-renovation” as in, they took the picture after the renovation
hopelovepeace33 1 points 2y ago
Ohh I was half asleep when I looked at this 😂
