Coffee shop in a suburban area?

Can anyone share their experiences in opening a coffee shop in a suburban area? I am looking to sell bagged coffee and would like to be in an area with upper middle class demos. I find that in that most of the areas that have these demos do not have a central gathering spot with heavy foot traffic. Most are newer development, Costco or the Safeway center area the closest to this.

Almost seems like a location for good bag sales would not be a good area for cup sales?
