Wordboard: names for a coffee / candy store
With this post, we begin a regular series of deep dives into the dusty old database housing the original Wordlab forum (the “Wordboard,” for old-timers). The original inquiry, along with a selection of name suggestions, will be presented in each post. See ’em all at #Wordboard.
Need name for coffee / candy store (04/05/04)
My hubby and I are opening a coffee / candy store and are coming up short on name ideas. We will be selling old fashioned bagged candy (from gummies, to chocolates, to mints, to Swedish fish) as well as mixed nuts, and peanuts in bulk (up to 20lb bags). We will also be selling gourmet coffee beans and coffee supplies and accessories (grinders, coffee pots, filters, flavored creams…), not quite so much actual cups of coffee or lattes or things like that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Like: Beans & BonBons…Could also read “Beans ‘n BonBons” (rolls easily off the tongue)
Also like: Jellies & Java…but the word jellies is too specific compared to bon bons.
I do really like the concept of the 1st letters matching, if possible. It also makes for a very nice logo; for example, with the second letter B horizontally mirrored/backwards (not using the & sign).
Dislike: Afternoon delight… because (if you’re perhaps unaware?) it’s a reference to having sex in the afternoon. Unless you also plan to sell products with crude/crass names & sayings, this reference may deter a large segment of potential customers.
