Out of curiosity, what do you offer other than coffee. I mean like cookies and so forth? If you do, can I give a suggestion?
Besides coffee drinks, Tea, Pastries, bagels, muffins and cookies. If you come to my shop for a reason other than coffee you are probably coming for the wrong reasons. I've said before on Hubski "Don't go the steak house and order fish, don't go to the fish house and order steak." This is very food oriented advice but abandon the food orientation and apply it to life generally. Don't try to get that which is elusive in a situation, find that which is good and enjoy and embrace it. If you are at my shop because you are hungry for good food you are at the wrong place. If you are hungry for good music and good coffee than I hope to have you covered.
While that advice is true, a nice biscuit is typically a pleasant addition to a hot drink. But you already stated that you serve pastries so this isn't advice specifically to you and your shop, just a statement about biscuits. And hot beverages.
Are you a fellow Brit, by any chance?a nice biscuit is typically a pleasant addition to a hot drink.
No, but I spent a long time there, and spent a long time thinking I would move there. A chocolate hobnob and a cuppa are alright by me.

Sounds like it might be time for a hubski snack exchange! Does this exist?spent a long time thinking I would move there.
Anything particular that prevented you from settling here? other than the rain, obviously... :D
Snack exchange sounds excellent. What snacks would you want from California? I'd put in a request for Crunchie bars, too. My sister brought some back from her trip to London this year but I'm nearly out.Sounds like it might be time for a hubski snack exchange! Does this exist?

David Cameron, and a man who chose not to marry me. I didn't mind the rain.
Is there a small-time bakery anywhere in your area? If you haven't already, I'd try to get their food in your place. Obviously you know more about this than I do, but my thought is that It will be mutually beneficial for the two of you if they have a reputation for good cookies or something. It means you don't have to worry about making the food, but can be confident in the quality. food for thought? Idunno. Congrats on the coffee shop. I wish you immense success!
that sounds like the sort of people to associate yourself with!up and coming shop
Fuck the word hipster. Substitute the word nigger, cop or Jew and use it so lightly. I look at it as a derogatory term for any one that is different from me. I'm a Fourty year old mostly square guy and I despise the term. Not trying to rag on you, but you should be careful with how you malign others.
