Any good trade magazines?

[tronno]

I'm trying to research the feasability of a café in my area. (My wife and I are both SICK of our jobs and need to open something like this.)

Are there any magazines or books anybody can recommend as a first step?

Thanks.

Two books we just read...

"Espresso! Starting and running your own specialty coffee business". Joe Monaghan/Julie Sheldon Huffaker

"Start and run a coffee bar". Tom Matzen and Marybeth Harrison

Loved both books but I don't know which I liked writing less, the Business Plan or the Proforma.

Good luck.
