(5,946 posts)around the corner that have gone out of business in 3 months. Like how many people want a coffee shop in a suburban neighborhood. Then there was the shop that sold only wine tools ?? the bike shop was a good idea, but did n't sell bikes just helmets and things, still not enough. What makes it around here is a small sports bar, and a Vietnamese restaurant that is worked by family, no payroll But great food. Still never full. And one generic restaurant that does parties mostly, but serves breakfast and lunch when not catering a party. But they are all nice and I try every place that opens for what I can. And they are always very nice

(12,723 posts)We have a place near us that makes hummus and baba ganoush to die for. I don't think they get near enough business but they hang on. We give them as much business as we can and send anyone we can can to them.
I have always heard it can take two years for a restaurant to start making a profit. That can be tough. 3 months is just not long enough even if you have the best product.

It just doesn't feel like a coffeehouse to me if the barista isn't verbally-abusive and disinterested in doing their job. I mean, I went out the other day and got a latte...and the asshole behind the counter looked me right in the eye and said "Thank you! I hope you enjoy your latte!" Can you believe that shit? How dare they! The nerve of some people. I've never seen such poor service. I was so put out I left without ever touching my beverage. A perfect coffee experience ruined by the bad attitude on that barista.
I gave them 1-* on Yelp! I certainly won't ever be going there again.
