Opening a coffee shop can be a difficult process where you are certain to encounter problems you could have never imagined. In my research i became overwhelmed at everything that was required of me to open a coffee shop from the ground up. Especially if you have a day job while you are trying to jungle details like picking a location, the health department, design and supply. I discovered Advanced Fabrication would take care of all the details for me and they made the whole process very smooth and i was able to open my coffee shop without a hitch. If your starting any type of coffee business its worth looking into Advanced Fabrication, or at least checking out their step by step process to opening a coffee business:

We do, its alot of work. Staff is the biggest issue. Next is training the staff. If your not a full time owner, you could have issues with how the shop is run. I love it and hate it. Times are very tuff right now, so make sure your operating costs are as low as you can get them.
If you want to talk, call me at the shop Im there most nights and weekends.
