Choosing the Right Sun Umbrella for Your Boutique Café

Why Your Boutique Café Needs Wall-mounted Sun Umbrella

In the ever-competitive landscape of boutique cafes, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment is key to drawing in customers and encouraging repeat visits. One often overlooked element in achieving this is effective outdoor shade with sun umbrellas. Wall-mounted umbrellas can provide the perfect blend of style and functionality. They are ideal for maximising outdoor seating areas without wasting valuable floor space.

Moreover, wall-mounted umbrellas offer a sleek and modern aesthetic that can complement the overall design of your café. They are easy to install and provide consistent coverage, ensuring that your customers can enjoy their meals and beverages in comfort, regardless of the weather.

Meet Egberts Café in Margaret River

Margaret River is a stunning settlement south of Perth – famous for its beauty and rugged with famous surf beaches and a fruitful wine region. Nestled in the centre of the town, Egberts café serves delicious food, good coffee and relaxing vibes.

We worked with the team to upgrade their outdoor shade, important in the long summer sun of Western Australia. Sun umbrellas are important features of cafes and dining experiences and we looked to elevate the café and its sidewalk seating area with shade. We settled on two Shadowspec Retreat™ Wall Mounted Umbrellas
