First, the result of the relationship between coffee shops’service quality and customer satisfaction reveals that two of 5 service quality factors (i.e., assurance and empathy) had a positive effect on customer satisfaction only, and other service quality factors (i.e., tangibles, reliability, and responsiveness) had no positive influence on customer satisfaction.
