Seriously, I don't quite understand why you keep commenting the OP's post instead of answering. Your contributions are on topic and useful, so why not put them inside a proper answer? Once again: the OP might see your comment because they receive a notification, but other users likely won't bother with comments and jump straight to the answer section. SE sites are just *designed* around this. :)

@TXV I agree. Also, the comment is hard to read, especially the way he describes.

In the following sentence:

> 这家小资的咖啡店本身**不仅仅**是一间咖啡店，还是首个提出咖啡情绪疗法的品牌。

I know 不仅 means "not only", and 不仅～还是 means "not only ~ but also ~", similar to English idiom.

However, this sentence uses 不仅仅, not 不仅. I wonder if it is a typo, or correct sentence. In that case, what is the difference between 不仅 and 不仅仅?

Yes, 不仅...而且/还是... is equivalent to "not only... but also...". I think 不仅仅 fits here. Because the author really wants to emphasize the achievement of this coffee shop, which is '首个提出咖啡情绪疗法的品牌'.

Example:

> 他不仅是一个模特，还是一个大学教授。

This just tells you that he has two jobs.

But if you say,

> 他不仅仅是一个模特,还是一个大学教授

this means that being both a model and a university professor is really impressive.
