A delightful mystery for the undecided or the adventurous, but alas not designed for the everyday 'I need a coffee / feel like a ham & cheese sandwich' crowd.

A delightful mystery for the undecided or the adventurous, but alas not designed for the everyday 'I need a coffee / feel like a ham & cheese sandwich' crowd.
Having worked with restaurants in tourist areas, I know that it's the locals that provide revenue stability - tourists can be the cream on top, but if you can't service the locals you won't survive long.
I would extrapolate from that experience that many cafes, especially those in business-precinct areas, rely on the regulars to provide revenue stability. Most regulars won't the same coffee at 9am, the same time sandwich at noon, and the same coffee at 3pm. Hard to survive long if you're not designed for that group, delightful and mysterious as you may be.
