In real life I've seen people start a coffee to go spot, and after 1 year they managed to hire someone to work part-time, they are saving to start a small place. But as you noticed, they started in a good tourist location and have exclusive coffee/tea agreement serving coffee in that area - it's a small place where food trucks stand but it's in the historical part of the town.

My friend's place is located in a great place for a coffee shop. She actually started working there as a manager of the place when it was just a coffee shop, but then the owner got sick and my friend bought it from her then added the wine bar part because she has experience in the food industry. A few years ago they decided to do a dinner on Valentine's Day and offered good food and wine for one night only and they were fully booked pretty quickly. That led to the expansion into the weekend food which has been very good for them.
