When we were there 5 years ago i found difficult to get gooddddd coffee, and my wife (mexican)
and i had a restaurant in puerto Vallarta 4 years ago and we also have a little coffee shop here in the bay area, so i am thinking of a Coffee business or similar.
We have some saving but not a lot yet so we will save for a little longer before moving.

Thanks.

Hey, we're back on topic again

There's lots of small digital printers and amateur graphic designers dotted about. There a handful of good ones. There are no large corporations to pick up any high level serious accounts. Estate Agents, restaurants, small businesses, and bad/slow paying hotels dominate.

As for coffee shops. Well a lot has changed in 5 years - we even have a few Starbucks here now. I'm not a coffee drinker so others will tell you how good the selection is here. However you need to sell a lot of coffee to pay the high rents.

I always recommend my 'when there's a gold rush, sell shovels' philosophy. Supply/make and deliver something people need, in a reliable and professional manner. Avoid copying, which results in a smaller share for everybody.

another place, this one is on 10th AVE. It may still be next to a Pizza Bananas, and a Starbucks and a Haagen Dazs and a Pizza Pazza......

I'll throw my (and husband's) unpopular vote into the ring- BREWPUB! I know hot weather doesn't necessarily go with heavy beers, but I'd be a regular when I was in town. And make it into Orcagirl's alternative bar and we'd wear our a$$print into the barstools

Any kind of beer can go with hot weather. Which heavy beers do you like? Recently I tried Smithwick's Ale and loved it!
