it's pretty easy you should just do it right away.
spare no expense this is an investment in yourself

Most cafes are money-losing ventures that are ran by the wives of wealthy men, to keep them busy and happy. Sort of like all the small shops that sell decorative shit.

You open a cafe when you've made it and just want to chill. You don't do it for money

Some guy I know started one and rival cafes are literally smashing his windows in trying to run him out of town. Nothing is innocent anymore.

Very easy, but you gotta let go of any romantic ideas of what owning one is like. The product literally doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what kind of coffee or what kind of snacks you have or who made it. All that matters for profitability is whether your location/brand/reach is good. The shittiest coffee shop in a busy office building beats the best one ran by a Michelin star chef in some obscure back alley. Often the most profitable small establishments offer a totally mediocre product, but happen to be next to something that actually pulls a lot of people from a wider area. Think of instant coffee machines and vending machines as your competition, not actual cafes or restaurants, to start on the right track.

Basically
>get a busy spot
>choose simple branding that makes it incredibly clear that you're a cafe
>serve a small selection of palatable and profitable things
>make them fast and always the same way

To make money a cafe must not be a hangout spot or a "third space", but like a human service station where everyone wants to get in and out as quickly as possible, unfortunately. If you want to stay afloat it's not very sexy. All those trendy spots in gentrified neighborhoods don't sell their sandwiches for $20 for no reason, that is the cost of hosting a trendy spot for people to just loiter in.
