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.

Starbucks will you give you grounds for your garden too. Some have it on display and sometimes it's empty but just ask and they will fill it up.
Nevermind!!! This is what happens when you try to read with a 2 year old using you as a jungle gym. I see it's not a dollar sign. Smh
Load More Replies...Most coffee shops will do this if you ask (I run a P-Patch program) and they won't wrap it in plastic first. Just bring a reusable container and fill 'er up!
This. I carry a container with me to clear the coffee bins at work - the 'organic/sustainable' thing is somewhat compromised by the plastic that ends up being thrown away.
Load More Replies...l recently learned that you can burn the coffee to keep bugs away whilst eating outdoors..
One of the local Morrisons supermarkets does something like this, they have their used coffee grounds in bags and you just help yourself! I tried them last year on my tomato plants that I was growing and they just went mouldy lol! But that could've been down to me - this is the house where plants come to die! And yes, I did kill said tomato plants last year! But I'm trying again this year 😀
at most Starbucks they will save the grounds for you, just ask nicely
They're probably the aluminum bags the coffe beans came in. So, no.

Lately I have noticed a trend of commenters just restating what is in the picture, even what is written there already, and they are getting a lot of upvotes. Is there a reason that is so popular, or am I just imagining it?
