kurtyordy is right. Anyway from my standpoint, why would anyone invest in your coffee shop business? There's a very good chance you'll fail ( common in this industry). Even if you succeed the profit's will suck, and your investors returns would be shit for the most part. For this type of thing your going to need to fund it yourself, then when and if you succeed try to franchise and get investors.

Well I appreciate your advice and my point of this post was to get ideas on where to get investors, not asking whether my business idea sucked. This idea is just a small part of what I "plan" on doing. Of course Im young, I still have a LOT to learn, and I know Im going to hit several obstacles before I get to where I want to be. Then again isn't failure just a part of it? But maybe kurtyordy and you can hug eachother.
