College Cafe Needs A Name

Posted by Anonymous on 9/6/2006 at 11:32 AM ET 125 Points
We are currently in the process of re-branding two of our dining options in our Student Union. One is a coffee shop and the other is a sandwich shop. These will be combined into one concept within our food court. Now we just need a name for it. I really want to stay away from some of the cheezy coffee pun names, plus we are offering more than just coffee. I'd like for it to be something simple and hip that college students will gravitate to. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance, for your help!

    Coffee Shop... I wouldnt worry about the need to let people know coffee shops have more than coffee.. Starbucks has already done that for you

    Caffeine Cocktails
    Hot Shot
    Extreme Caffeine

    You'll especially want to think of things that fit in this sentence "Hey, wanna go over to _____'s?" and that lend themselves to a nickname or abbreviation...

    Study Fuel
    Extra-Curricular
    "Liquid Tutorials" & it's counter-part "Study Food"
    Calories
    Between-Meals
    Between Classes

    My favorite bar in Baton Rouge was called "The Library"... so your roommate could honestly tell your parents where you were every night... could do something like that

    "Study Group"
    (and have the college aged food pyramid on the wall coffee / popcorn / pizza / pretzels, etc.)

    Good luck and have fun!

    How about, "The Common Ground"...
    the word "grounds" imply coffee and "common" gives the impression of a place where people can be relaxed and at the same level. I'd definitely go to a place with that name

    A little more information will help generate a lot more ideas.

    What college?
    Where?
    Mascots?
    Famous aspects of college, city, graduates?

    You know if it was where Britney Spears went to school (I don't think she went anywhere at least to study) name it "Britney Slept Here!" type thing.

    Good Luck

    Hi Debbie,

    I am sure your students appreciate being catered to at your establishment and I would capitalize on it. The name below is very cool and speaks to your "target market".

    Name-
    It is all about you!
    Tagline-
    your choice of beverages and food

    Best of Luck on your project.
