Hello "mn3005"

Welcome to the Coffee Forums website!

Have you already opened a coffee shop, or are you still thinking about it?

My best advice is for you to do a little bit of research on this Forum.
Your question has been asked over and over again, and some of the members have written some well-thoughtout replies in the past.

We have a handy Search box that's at the top right corner of your screen. Just type in your topic area, and you will see some of the past discussions. You will see that it's not easy to open a coffee shop, and there are a lot of people who have tried and failed.

Location. Location. Location. Spend the time to find the right location, do not assume people will come for the great coffee!
