Furthermore, like wine grapes, coffee beans take on a distinct flavor depending
on the climate and soil their grown in. To help your brand stand apart and to
prove that you're serious about your coffee, consider buying single-origin beans
that are kept together with beans of the same batch through the whole supply
chain. That practice lets the coffee maintain its geographically distinct flavor
that many customers take a great deal of interest in.

Assembling a killer menu goes beyond the bean. The real profit potential for
the entire day lies in offering sweet and savory snacks, and even full course
meals. As a matter of fact, your long-term survival might depend on what you
serve on a plate rather than in a cup.
Coffee being the breakfast of champs that it is, it makes sense to pair it with
other early-morning items. Pastries, bagels, and biscuits can be baked in
house or sourced from local vendors, and they can be as simple or as complex
as you deem necessary to satisfy your clientele.
If you think your business will support a strong lunch crowd, a simple panini
press doesn't take up too much counter space or require a great deal of skill to
operate. Still, they can grill up sandwiches that are a step above traditional
cold-cut deli fare. Complement those sandwiches with simple-to-serve chips or
french fries and you've created your own lunch spot.
Don't neglect thirsty patrons who prefer cold fizzy drinks to hot ones. Soft
drinks also carry a high profit margin, especially when they're dispensed at a
bag-in-box fountain. Chocolate and candy can also be paired with a coffee
concept, and make reliable impulse buys that keep without refrigeration.
