Congratulations, Ann! My aunt and uncle opened a cafe in our small town 6 years ago (Perks), and they've certainly overcome some obstacles, but they're doing well. They have grown, too, from being "just" a gourmet coffee shop - they serve salads, soups and sandwiches for lunch, cater small events, and do "brat fries" on the weekends. I know you said in another thread you were looking at roasters - Alterra is awesome! I don't know if they're nationwide, so if you haven't heard of them and you're interested, let me know and I'll get you the info.
One unsolicited piece advice - ADVERTISE!!! There are still people here in our small town that have never heard of Perks, and it's right on the main drag. Get your name out there!
Can't wait to see more pictures and hear about your progress! Congrats again!
