The objective of this research is to perceive the direct and indirect impacts of facility layout on customer satisfaction with the mediation of service quality. The population of this quantitative causal research is the customers of Balai Kopi, a coffee shop in Malang City. The research samples were selected using purposive sampling technique with the criteria of people who have visited the coffee shop during the period of August – November 2023 and have made offline purchase at the shop. The results of the analysis indicate (1) that facility layout positively influences customer satisfaction, (2) that facility layout positively affects service quality, (3) that service quality positively impacts customer satisfaction, and (4) that facility layout positively influences customer satisfaction with the mediation of service quality. The theoretical implication of this study is deeper understanding on the effects of facility layout on customer satisfaction with the mediation of service quality.
