Interesting idea, but be wary. I opened up a hookah lounge last year 2 blocks from Brighton Beach in Brooklyn NY. Before we opened we were hoping to get the chic, hip, free-wifi crowd, but instead got 18yr old troublemakers that don't spend a dime. It's one thing to want a particular clientele and it's another to actually get it. There's no guarantee, and with something like cookies, you don't know who you'll get. To combat this problem we're acquiring a liquor licenese which of course comes with it's own cost and potential set of problems. Furthermore, it's quite scary to see your weekdays come and go with only a handful of customers, and then need to rely on your weekend. If it rains that weekend you're hosed and better make sure you can make that rent, utilities and labor. It's a tough, and this doesn't even include all the city issues, permits, violations, etc that you'll be sure to have some issues with.
