We go to coffee shops not only for our daily fix of caffeine. You might think it's the cute barista behind the counter, great customer service, or modern interior design, but there are a latte more details a cozy cafe can use to steal customers from their competitors around the corner. Bored Panda has collected a series of clever coffee house designs and solutions, and the creative ideas are so out there, we can't get bean-ough of them. From giving away used grounds as compost and never-seen-before coffee shop designs to coming up with alternative syrup names (yes, I'm talking about the 'bee vomit'), the best coffee shops on this list are funny enough to make anybody's day.

    Great marketing trick! Someone is making publicity for you for one day at the cost of a coffee. :-). Have to keep this one in mind!
