coffee shops are not entirely good businesses to run, as you can see how starbucks is taking over every street corner
baristas in and out of starbucks are unionizing as well
the problem with opening up a burger shop, a coffee shop, or anything else that there's a massive global company that does the same thing is you're really just working on borrowed time

It's kinda a dumb question, of course it can be profitable but it needs to be done exactly right. You're either going to go for a full blown cafe with hipster food and plants everywhere, or you're going to go for a clean coffee shop for business people that serves food that is easy to eat during work chats (banana bread, croissants, slices, sandwiches etc).
Having cute girls working the cafe is also important, you will want to make sure the coffee is fucking top notch and all your staff can bang out consistently high quality coffee very quickly.
If you fuck something minor up, even one coffee it means a long term loyal customer will walk across the road to the other shop. You also want beans that are somewhat milk chocolatey but still slightly bitter.

Generally banks won't give business loans to coffee shops beacuse they're classified high risk. You need to have a view on ever single aspect with a reason as to why you give that product, service, why you display that item vs another item etc.
I would also expect inflation to hit coffee shops quite hard.

Think of how much coffee you have to sell to make 100k profit per year after you pay taxes, rent, and operating costs.

Most restaurants run on very thin margins. The most successful food industry businesses are just a front for money laundering and the goal of the business is to lose money. You pay yourself a 100k salary and bonuses and the business has a net operating loss of 300k per year

Opening a coffee shop is my post-makeit dream. Not to make a profit or anything, just a chill place to hang out. I know a guy in my hometown who bought up a run-down building a few years back and made it into a coffee shop with a basement with pool tables and ping-pong and foosball and couches. I don't think he makes any money, but it's a chill place for him and his buds to hang out and smoke cigarettes out front. When he's running the register he'll take a smoke break and nobody can order for like 10min, he just tells them to fuck off. I can't imagine he makes any money but it seems pretty cozy, and less degenerate than running a bar.

I used to go to a coffee shop in a medium-size midwestern town that was pretty much like that. Open until 11pm every night and would play chill music from a record player on really nice speakers, sometimes had poetry events or live acoustic music / open mic night. Had a loft-style second story that was a book nook with comfy couches and handmade bookshelves. Cozy as fuck, clientele was mostly cute nursing students studying.

High end area or where customers can feel "safe", sure. Bring in dirt cheap coffee bean from huge resellers and market it as small farm, niche coffee. Its all drowned in condensed milk, cream, sugar and whatever sweetners like caramel, etc anyway. Plus, theres a thing in a luxury, high end setting that if it looks, sounds expensive, people will pay premium for it regardless what it really is. Thats why there's so much coffee companies that are flourishing. Its all marketing and hype. I went through the phase of premium/niche coffee thinking that it made a huge difference. Then one vacation, the resort we stayed at coffee shop is stupid busy so I made a cup with the cheapo hotel coffee pot. Now I buy foldgers metal can coffee and have no preference in coffee (cheaper the better). Think about it, out of all coffees expensive or cheap, I never not enjoyed it
