Back in 2020, right before Christmas, I got to try this new coffee place in the area. It’s called Urban Buzz, and it’s my favorite coffee place. They have some great drinks, and I quickly became obsessed. Also, their marketing is excellent, and I love conceptual architecture, so I asked myself, “Why don’t I sketch up what I want their second location to look like?” Mind you, my drawing skills are not excellent. 

A few months ago, I started mentally conceptualizing a second location. While I don’t expect a second location to become a reality for another year or two, a second location could help with so much. The current and only location, while small, generates a lot of “buzz” (I had to throw at least one pun in there.) However, there are some problems I’ve found with the location. One of the significant problems is placement. On a big promotional day, traffic can be blocked in two different ways, a considerable hazard. While I understand the affordability of the location, traffic is a huge factor in how well a business does.

Another problem I’ve found is that they don’t have a lot of seating. They all have these round tables with bench seats, similar to those from my high school’s outdoor cafeteria seating. I would love for the seating in the second location to be both indoors and outdoors, with a possible rooftop area. Now, a rooftop setting may not be the best, seeing as this is Florida and it can get hot, but it’s still a great idea. 

When creating a possible second location, I thought of quite a bit. I thought, “How do I make this as on theme as possible without going too far on bee-themed items and decor?” While I saved parking for last, I made sure to keep it in mind, considering that’s one of my main issues. I made the order window with all of the menus, including the incredible secret menu, on the right side of the building; the pickup window is on the left side of the building. When you walk into the building, you’re greeted by the “buzzistas” and a welcoming atmosphere. There are bean bag chairs, tables, and couches to sit on, along with light fixtures that look like they’re dripping in honey and a staircase to the rooftop area. If you choose to walk on up to the rooftop area, you’ll see some of the same seating options as downstairs, along with hammocks, a garden, and even a giant beehive sculpture. If this were to become a reality, I would spend all of my time there! It’s already my favorite coffee place ever, so why wouldn’t I want to spend more time there?
