It is always fascinating to sit and observe what makes the best coffee shop, it is not just the coffee but the whole experience. Some interesting and valuable information at http://tinyurl.com/6zczo9

Is there any place on here to sell a coffee shop?
Comment by Jeff Nicholson on August 6, 2008 at 8:45am
I am in the beginning stage of research to open up a coffee drive-thru. I do not want to open a franchise, I want to be able to mold my shop the way I see best. Any suggestion on where to get information from start to finish.

Looking to start a new business. Throwing the net out to the members wondering if anyone knows of an existing coffee cafe for sale at a reasonable price on the west coast preferably the Seattle area.

I too am 4 months away from opening my new coffee house, the nerves are kicking and the butterflys are swirling in my stomach. I'd love to assume that business will be plentiful but I have to plan for mediocre at best. I look forward to every minute having my OWN coffee house!!!

Anybody out there located in San Francisco or Carmel? Will be in your area this week and would like to pop in for a visit.
Comment by Walt Geminn on June 25, 2008 at 2:35pm
sabrina. We wrap our pastries (brownies etc) in plastic wrap and move them to the cold side of the display case (or fridge) at night. that helps but they usually dont last more than a day or two anyhow. if they last longer than that, try a different pastry because they arent selling.

Is everyone happy with the quality of their coffee drinks? Is everything going on well with their cafes?
