I would open an espresso pub. I would probably be really creative and call it "Kate's Espresso Pub" or "Kate's Espresso". My fantasy includes: free wifi for customers (but not freeloaders in the parking lot); local artists' art gallery; live entertainment on weekends and maybe even an open mic night; lots of bookshelves with BookCrossings books coming and going; and a meeting room where meetups and other small gatherings could take place. We would serve awesome fresh baked goods (no "food service" crap) all day and have a very simple soup/sandwich/salad menu for lunch and dinner, as well. But no egg salad, cuz it stinks. We would also serve blended drinks (coffee-based and fruit-based) and French and Italian sodas. We would have plenty of small tables with electrical outlets for our wifi users, as well as a few larger tables and a bar with pub stools. We would also have plenty of comfy chairs, a couple loveseats and couches for comfy seating. We would serve our coffee and espresso in real mugs... maybe even funky mugs. And last, but not least, our mondo (20 oz.) espresso would have FOUR espresso shots (not two measly shots like our competition).
Yep, that's my fantasy. :-)
