Hi
I have just joined this page. I also have a great passion to open my own coffee shop... but not in USA.
To Aliya.....
coffee shop is the best place to meet new people and make new friends. It is place for sharing thought, new way of thinking, expressing feeling.
it put you in place where you can see many behaviors at once. You would see people reading, writing, studying, typing, dating, talking, laughing, playing...etc.
I mean a good communication atmosphere is the key for coffee shop business.
I used to drive for an hour almost every weekend to one particular coffee shop just for better atmosphere....even thought their Mocha is not that good.
I will try to find the opportunity this summer to work in more than one coffee shop as volunteer in order to get the experience I need.
Thank you!
