What is the Experiential Cafe trend?
Experiential Cafe: Recognizing the need to entertain patrons, cafes are turning to niche hybrid services to create memorable consumer experiences. Integrating film studios and 3D-printing services, coffee and tea houses are seeking to not only add a sense of novelty to the retail experience, but also provide patrons with activities and services that consumers wouldn't typically have access to. The integration of these services helps traditional retailers transform ordinary consumer experiences into exciting and unconventional activities.
