3.0 out of 5 stars This book was so-so in providing information needed, 21 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Espresso!: Starting and Running Your Own Specialty Coffee Business: Starting and Running Your Own Coffee Business (Paperback)
Prior to reading this book, I had read "Start and Run a Profitable Coffee Bar" from Self-Counsel. I was hoping to this book would provide additional valuable information. It did have some good information but I felt that the "Start and Run a Profitable Coffee Bar was much more informative. I would not recommend purchasing this book.

I am opening a Cafe in upstate NY and this is one of the books that got me going. I can't say its the BEST book on this subject but I can say that it is full of useful information provided in an easy to read format with clear explanations. I would recommend reading this book as well as others.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good starter book, but lacks details, 25 July 2004
By P. Kral-Fenlon "mama java" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Espresso!: Starting and Running Your Own Specialty Coffee Business: Starting and Running Your Own Coffee Business (Paperback)
I agree with most of the other reviewers. If I were opening a coffee cart or kiosk I'd find this book educational. As it is, it lacks details but does give good basic information. You can start here but "Become a coffee house owner" is far more detailed, with business plans, budgets, specific list of items needed (down to the grease trap), contacts, employees, probably health requirements etc. I did gain some knowledge from this book, but it won't be a point of referral in the future.
