'This evidence-based application of 'third place' research is timely and long overdue. Equally important is the discussion of human behavior/environment theories, which is a hidden gem in this book. This is a pioneering effort to base design solutions on recognized, reputable theories. Designers and design students now have a visible path to applying theory to a specific space, third places, which makes it translatable to applying theory in their design process for any building type. This is a phenomenal addition to the body of knowledge!' - Denise A. Guerin, University of Minnesota, Ada Comstock Distinguished Women's Scholar, Morse-Alumni Distinguished Professor
'Designing Coffee Shops and Cafes for Community is a well-sourced reference that brings both theory and practical application to bear for restauranteurs, researchers, students and the public. It is highly readable and demystifies the complexities of creating gathering places where people truly want to be. In this time of growing public alienation and widespread retreat to our isolated communities, it is a book we need at this moment, showing how places that are thoughtfully designed do not exist alongside human experience-they set the scene and make possible those moments.' - Jill Pable, Florida State University
'As a designer of community and restaurant interiors, (and a frequenter of coffee shops!) I wholeheartedly appreciate and enjoyed this inspired and holistic study of the coffee shop as a community space typology, and of interior design's important role in shaping these spaces. Filled with relevant research-based analysis and practical case study examples, the book beautifully captures the essence of the human experience at a cafe, and explores how design can transform and create an inclusive, positive experience for the community. Settle in with a cup of coffee at your favorite cafe, and enjoy this comprehensive, enriching exploration of the coffee house as a community space!' - Felice Silverman, FIIDA - Principal, Silverman Tryowski Associates Inc, - Fellow and Past President, International Interior Design Assocation (IIDA)
