Just curious what TCers think about a hawaiian style coffee joint. I have had the idea for a long time but just recently aquired the space next to me. Would love to hear your input. My thought is to offer really good coffee and tropical smoothies, as well as island sweets and maybe shave ice for summer (?) Other ideas include: Ukulele lessons on certain nights, local artists showcase, hawaiian videos on a flat panel tv, wireless internet (???), local papers and mags etc. all in a very relaxed bamboo encrusted setting. I have a huge list of names I came up with but narrowed it down to these few (let me know what you think) 1.Hot Lava java 2.Island Grinds 3.Ukulele Cafe 4.Island Bean 5.Hukilau Cafe (over-used?) 6.Aloha Cafe 7.Kahunas Koffee 8.Kailua Cafe Any suggestions, comments, etc. please respond or drop me an email: [email protected]
