In the hospitality design sector, it is often hard for cafes to stand out against restaurants and hotel bars which typically have immensely larger budgets. We are thrilled that bestcafedesign.com provides a platform for designers to showcase and to be discovered in this unique and dynamic niche.

If you’re an architect who designs cafes, this is exactly the type of publication startup you want to see thrive. A fantastic publication to support. Andrew is a smart and passionate new writer and publisher, with some big ambitions.

This is why I think Best Cafe Design is going to be massive. The founder, Andrew, has thought of every possible angle to make his creation the “yellow pages” of cafes around the world. Let me explain. Google is good at locating a said cafe, but only if you know the exact name of it. Best Cafe Design is one step ahead by exploring cafes by locations, browsing their menus, the theme of the cafes and so on. It doesn’t end there. Architects, designers, photographers and even influencers are part of this directory. Now for the best part. I love traveling albeit I haven’t really gone anywhere post Covid. Best Cafe Design also serves has a Cafe Hopping Map to help plan your trips when visiting a new country. This is a guide I wish I had when I went to Azerbaijan almost four years back.

This platform is exceptional, catering to diverse demographics. Whether you're a casual traveler or a seasoned designer, it's a goldmine of inspiration. For the former, it offers seamless navigation to unearth the finest cafes in any city. As for the latter, it's a visual feast, showcasing a myriad of cafe styles worldwide. I highly encourage any designer specializing in cafes to delve into its wealth of resources, be it captivating imagery or invaluable insights.
