Another bar & grill, that's too bad. It would have made a nice Starbucks or expansion to Shades of Brown. Pubs are a way too crowded market. The Collective sold coffee, but the setup was like something you would find at a serve yourself motel 6 morning breakfast. That place was doomed to fail, which I feel bad about because I didn't say anything about their coffee bar setup the one time I went there.
You don't think coffee is a crowded market? Everyone has horned in on the boutique coffee game, including every gas station and C-Store and even fast food outlets are into it. Saffron's tried to do the deli and coffee house thing a couple of blocks away and I loved the place, but it didn't seem to attract the TU crowd they were counting on. Within walking distance of TU's campus you can get a gourmet coffee at probably 8-10 different places including on campus.
Not trying to spar with you, but there's plenty of good coffee and WiFi around TU as it is. Whomever is going in there would be wise not to target their business model predominantly at TU students.
