HOW TO OPEN A COFFEE SHOP?
thinking about opening a coffee shop. is there any tips from coffee shop owners out there?
i have a few ideas of what i want to do, like new drinks, design, policies, ect.
things i'm still not sure on like the brands of coffee to look for, the pros and cons of roasting your own coffee,
i love sumatra, and kona, but wasnt sure who roasted the beans.
approximately how much is all the equipment necessary to open/ minimal space you need to operate.
its going to be in a small town in southern california, where the only real competition would be starbucks. pfft. they claim to sell gourmet coffee. lol.
also what brands of espresso machines, blenders, ice makers, ect. fo you trust and that are reliable?
all these aspects i am unfamiliar with and would love some of your guys' input
thanks
10 POINTS TO THE ANSWERER THAT ANSWERS THIS QUESTION TO THEIR BEST ABILITY.
I would really love to be in a coffee shop that looks more like strarbucks. It is cozy and feels more like home. I am not really sure about coffee flavors, but I would recommend that you use a capresso espresso machine because it is a very durable and easy to use brand. I have personally used it and I give it a two thumbs up. Good luck on your venture. Hope this helped.
