good luck man also I recommend disused milk bars as a great site for a cafe location - and even milk bars which are trading sell for a lot less than most cafes and they usually have all the refrigeration you would ever need as well!

Good point about milk bars Pat Also in some towns these come with a residence above KK

first view inspiring, conversation with coffee supplier very inspiring. Pretty much wanting to go with a very lovely bean....??? hehe ;D. The next 2 weeks will determine how soon I'll be moving in. I'll keep you posted

Congratulations! Really good to see that went so well 🙂 Is opening date still going to be May/June of next year, or are things going well enough that you see yourself opening earlier now?

extremely close to money time. That means doors might be opening in 5-12 weeks. Hopefully. Sorry no clues for anyone yet. Quiet like a snake for the moment

and the world shifts again. Money problems and miracle gifts abound in the world of flushed. Oh what brilliant shimmer, the light at first dawn and at the death of the new day. Arise light to bless my every breath, with a new breath in anticipation. And hold it there for but a thought, before the new is once again and over.

well speaking from experience I can say take your initial opening budget and double it coz that's about what it costs to open! good luck on the money front - hope you can work something out P

If you want to limit your upfront costs I have a lead on a repossessed about 1 year old La Marzocco Linea + Twin swift grinder combo PM me 😉 KK

the world sucks and I hate business. Nothing happened, and I'm sick of hearing bullshit fall out of peoples mouths. Sadly I've learn't not to trust people that make interesting claims that involve my money. Fortunately I didn't find out the hard way. That and fakers, big fat fakers who smile on one side of thier face and spew darkness out the other. So many shitty cafe owners in this town. Sooo stupid. A lttle vent there...sorry. Maybe the future will succeed in my success

yeah, for some reason the coffee industry seems to attract more than its fair share of spivs and shiny shoe salesmen, in my experience - not sure why! dR :-/

Hi guys - not for the first time I've heard this sort of comment; would be interested to know if anyone else has any views as to whether this is the case, and if so, why this might be [ie with respect to the coffee industry, in particular]... A

askthecoffeeguy

just be careful who you lie down with ass you can wake up with fleas! I'm still majorly out of pocket from a business deal gone sour in the past - but treat it as a learning experience and it could be a small price to pay...
