What music to play at your coffee shop?

The music helps to create a vibe – and depending on what type of cafe you have, that vibe could vary widely.

You might run a tiny shop in a fast-paced business district, or it could be a cozy retro-themed cafe with a full kitchen in a mid-western suburb.

The vibes of these shops and everything in between are so different and the music helps create the mood you want customers to feel when they come in.

So, in short, the music is part of your cafe's brand.
