I am currently in college for a business degree. I am very interested
in one day opening my own coffee house. Can anyone give me some
helpful hints on how to get into this field? If anyone has any tips on
any aspect of the business, I would definitely appreciate the feedback.
Thanks!

Oh, and factor in the income level of the population above or below the
national average during due diligence. It affects your bottom line and was
the one of the many causes of my failure to finance my attempt.
Good luck.

Location, location, location.
Join (or become involved in some way) in the chamber of commerce or the
business association in the area of town where you want to set up shop. You
may run into political opposition (yes, even for a coffee shop) or other
road blocks, even when you have the perfect place picked out.

Yep all I can say is learn to make coffee really well and don't cut any
corners what so ever... oh yeah and money is good too :-) I've seen
many awesome places fail because of a lack of backup capital and
through trying to scrimp.
My 2 cents.
Peace

Work for a handful of established independent coffee shops and watch &
learn. Ask the boss to mentor you.
