With any food business it is all about location and then getting a good word of mouth going. Most of them fail.

Great idea about having day / night time specs like coffee / winery indeed. Yeah, location matters. Sometimes I see empty bars around one that is always full.
In real life I've seen people start a coffee to go spot, and after 1 year they managed to hire someone to work part-time, they are saving to start a small place. But as you noticed, they started in a good tourist location and have exclusive coffee/tea agreement serving coffee in that area - it's a small place where food trucks stand but it's in the historical part of the town.
