Restaurant for Sub Lease
According to a sign on the door, the Coffee Bean is closed.
Milton may just do coffee, tea and ice cream. He is interested in subletting the restaurant. Barring that he will sell everything.
So are you interested in running a restaurant? It's in a great location. Osborne and Florida next to 3 Antiques stores. Down the street from a High School, Middle School and a Public Library.
Milton has created a great menu and atmosphere and built up a good customer base. It's in a neighborhood that is hungry for good restaurants. Customers will come from word of mouth, neighborhood email lists and cheerleeding from this blog. Don't be afraid of competition from Starbucks. A good restaurant set up like the Coffee Bean with good food and service will always do well here.

Come on. You would have to be a fool to open up a restaurant there. NO Parking, 1 way traffic, nobody wanting to work for peanuts. How many rests. failed there? ALL OF THEM.
I have to agree, the biggest problem with a restaurant there is the parking issue. Customers may come by foot, but plenty will come by car too. It just doesn't have the parking to be a good restaurant. Gary and I stopped in there for breakfast once when it was the Whistle Stop Cafe. The food wasn't that great and finding parking was hell.
I disagree. You can park all the way down Osborne up to ther middle school . On Sundays you can park across the street at the Autobody place. Granted there would be more parking if the owner of the property bought the empty lot South of Francis house and cleaned it up to make it more parking friendly and out up some signs noting parking is there.
Why have the prior restaurants failed? Primarily due to inexperience and/or poor customer service.
The first restaurant Pollywogs was closed because he opened up the restaurant without the needed permits and closed ot avoid getting shut down to due nuemrous violations. Plus he had some other gig going.
Sugar Daddy's was started by a novice who gave away to much stuff to school kids and also did not have enough volume.
The second owners of Sugar Daddy's had lousy customer service. The staff there was stoned all of the time.
Ms. Vivian's food was not that good and service was not friendly.
Rigo's was alreadly sliding downhill when they came in. I was expecting it to close in its old location. Again poor customer service.
Coffee Bean simply did not have the restaurant experience to get the food out quicker and to keep it consistent.
Go to Stephannos Pizza and watch Paul at work. He has done this so long he has no wasted motion. He had a good idea of his costs and what he can price. He is consistently open when he says he is. He gives great customer service.
(By the way for those of you who think his gourmet pizza is too pricey (I don't), try his salads, pasta and sandwiches. Good price and plenty.)
Anyways someone who has good restaurant experience and good capitalization could do well there.
Nice Try Satan! You almost had us! But you made one crucial mistake...The Whistle Stop! You failed to mention the WHISTLE STOP! and we all know why they failed! They failed because they were CURSED! Cursed by a certain fork tongued, pointy tailed man of wealth and taste! Allow me to introduce him: DAVID SCOTT BANGHART!
We aint opening no restaurant there there Satan just so you can get your demonic kicks by cursing us to an eternity of fiery oblivion. We're onto you pal, thanks to Kelly Kombat, and we will watch you burn! Back to Hades with you!
BACK!BACK!
jesus, dude. you really need a hobby.
Ms. Vivian's was Whistlestop.
