coffee

so when does everyone think a coffee shop should close

It’s madness. They’ve been opening later and closing earlier for years now. 
There was a brief punk rock coffee shop that said “24 hrs call ###-###-#### if door is locked” and I popped in at 3am called the number and pretty sure the guy was sleeping on a cot in the back

These are my principles. If you don't like them, well, I have others

Yeah and for lack of trying and creativity. There are always people needing coffee. It doesn’t always have to be an overpriced, pretentious experience. A straightforward, solid cup in a high traffic place would become a thing. College towns, or near people who work the graveyard shift, could add to the operation sustaining volume. 

Not to mention a cafe that shifts to wine or beer in the evening. Have it be cozy, have couches and bookshelves, the like

they open later and close earlier because less people are coming
