Location, Location, Location

I've already decided that I would like to open a coffee shop near a college or university in Massachusetts, but that's about it. I was wondering how shop owners here went about finding locations. - What was your criteria? - At what point were you at with your business plan/financing plan? - Did you wait for a spot to open? Buy an existing restaurant/shop? - How did you find out about the location being open/for sale? A commercial real estate agent? A website? A newspaper? Any tips, considerations, etc. would be much appreciated!
