Small Cafe

Hi,
i'm new to road food but was looking for some advice from those who are experienced.

I am looking at opening a small cafe somewhat soon, i have the location i have a location but have very few ideas as to what to put on the menu. The location is incorporated with another business so i will be getting run off traffic from them as well as the surrounding businesses. I know that the area needs some work to be up to standards but thats easily fixed. Please help me with some cost effective ideas?
Any help is appreciated.

If I were you and had all these basic questions, I'd consider getting a job in a place as close to what I wanted to open myself. I'd spend some time learning the business before I'd put my hard earned money into it. But, good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm working in a small Thai/sushi restaurant at the moment, learning sushi since there aren't many really good sushi places in Texas I thought about opening one when I learned the trade, however I know the place I'm looking at doesn't have the facilities for a sushi bar, I think the "1 ingredient restaurant" is a really neat idea.
Since my true passion is for chocolates and sweets perhaps I could do something along those lines? I do love a good truffle

Before starting I would recommend talking to a local Small Business Development Center - [url]www.asbdc-us.org[/url], Score - [url]www.score.org[/url] which are all free.

Restaurants are the highest failure rate business becuase most go into it with too little capital and no game plan.
