Our town has a population of about 9000. I reckon we have 14 coffee shops (including two national chains) defined as places where you can reasonably order just a coffee if thats all you want. On top of that we have 10 or so pubs and restaurants where coffee is available but not really their main offering.
It looks like overkill to me. However, while some don’t last long, three quarters have been successfully trading for several years. So it appears there is money to be made.
