Part of a strip mall (on the corner?) or a freestanding building? Do you prefer the option of drive thru or not?

In a busy business district would be ideal. If you are near or in a big city, usually in the downtown area. Even though you WILL have competition, and maybe even close by, if you do it right and make excellent consistent product with personalized service, you will have a loyal customer base that builds as they see that you are meeting these criteria. Employees follow a consistent schedule. Depending on the business district, you will have 1000s of workers coming in every morning,taking lunch every day and leaving every day around 5:00. Regulars are the key to building a successful coffeeshop. If you can get just 10% of your customers to switch to you from every Starbucks, Peets, or others around your area, you can count on a large percentage of your customers right there. Remember: almost eveyone who works in a cubicle under flourescent lights HAS to drink coffee to keep from passing out on their desk! :)

Everyone loves a drive thru. They are fast, and you don't have to get out of your car.
However, in cities, ppl are walking to work, and everywhere else, so a coffee/bakery shop would do well in the heart of a business district.
But bottom line, ppl are huge coffee drinkers, so anywhere there are ppl, there is the need for a cup of java and a pastry!!

In a retirement home. Next to a hospital, government office, or university. Any of those would work, no matter what kind of building.
A drive-thru is smart.

Where there are no others around within 20 miles. Also located at a busy intersection. You will have so much business, you'll need another store to open.
