To accomplish the study purpose, this study distributed questionnaires to customers using bakery café located in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon regions. The verifications from hypothesis 1 to hypothesis 7 were as follows. First, the hypothesis 1 of “Environmental clue will have positive influence on internal response” was adopted. Secondly, the hypothesis 2 of “Service encounter will have positive influence on internal response” was adopted. Third, the hypothesis 3 of “Environmental clue will have positive influence on behavior intention” was rejected. Fourth, the hypothesis 4 of “Service encounter will have positive influence on behavior intention” was rejected. Fifth, the hypothesis 5 of “Internal response will have positive influence on behavior intention” was adopted. Sixth, the hypothesis 6 of “Environmental clue will have positive influence on behavior intention through internal response” was adopted. Seventh, the hypothesis 7 of “Service encounter will have positive influence on behavior intention through internal response” was adopted. In integrating the theoretical and practical implicants from the study results, there are two key points. First, service encounter had greater influence on behavior intention than environmental clue.
