Can I just say - as a restaurant owner and business man. If the passion is there to open the coffee shop - do it.

If hard work doesn’t phase you - do it. Political agendas come and go, but community is everything

You would be building community. And clearly your piece shows you understand this principle.

People will pay the going rate. They’re not stupid. They know things are expensive and pay accordingly.

Factor the costs into your menu. Plan a menu that uses local and cheaper, local purveyors would way rather supply you than the big supermarkets of the world, these days

Times are changing
