Cafes work in Irvine
Irvine runs on coffee. The city is built around business parks, a large university and planned village centres, and each of those brings its own kind of cafe customer. The demand for cafe searches here is steady and local: people search for coffee near their office, a place to sit with a laptop, a spot open early before a shift, and somewhere to meet a friend on a weekend morning. Chains hold a lot of the trade in the shopping centres, and owner operators hold the neighbourhood corners and the independent roasts. Both compete for the same map results and the same short list of names someone reads on a phone. That is the demand available to you, and it is searched every day by people already in Irvine.
