Mr. Bones - funny you mention Rohrmoser, near the American Embassy. Our apartment is in Rohrmoser & we always stop at Spoon (was across the street from the embassy, now down a few blocks). It was ALWAYS packed. So they moved to a new location, quadrupled the space & at least quadrupled the parking. Last two times I've had to park down the street. It's a veritable cash cow. And they close at 8 and always have people inside at 8 & I've seen may turned away. When I'm in town we usually stop by at least every other day....so that's at least 4 - 5 visits a month & I work in the U.S.. I get the Frozen Latte Avallana [sp?] & my little friend usually gets a salad, pasta or a ham sandwich.
The key is that if you're in a more afflluent area (Rohrmoser, Ezcazu, etc) you MUST have a butt-load of parking & be conveniently located.

Dude, I actually worked out of there for a couple of weeks way back when and the coffee shop there could not not be a success.
I think BWD has himself a business plan if he wants one; the assorted membership IDed locations, style, accoutrement, etc, etc. I would like to see someone do this.
