Try specialtycoffee.com. The forum has a lot of shop owners talking more about the business of running a shop than coffee itself. Some good advice on how to evaluate existing businesses from some of the folks there. It's free to register.
Thanks for the correction. Fixed it in my post. I didn't know Bellissimo was behind that forum. Kind of surprised at that because the design is, well... lacking. Beliissimo usually pays attention to good design.

Well its been 1.5 months since we took over the shop. All the new equipment is in (including the Clover). Carrying Intelligentsia beans, also looking at Ecco and Novo. If anyone is in the area of Northern NJ. Come on by and have a cup. Intelli single origins are really good on the clover. We also tried Novo's espresso on the La Marzocco, it was amazing.
