Starting a new shop - A few menu questions

I am taking over a coffee shop in a few months where I will be purchasing the assets from the landlord and renting the space from him.  The whole place is setup and has what I need but I need to create the menu. A few questions:

How many of you are offering Decaf? I was reading that you shouldn't really bother because it will cost you more than its worth. A book I read advised having decaf espresso beans for Americanos but not to do drip.

What to-go sizes do you offer? Almost all of the orders will be togo and I was thinking about maxing out at a 16oz cup.

Do you find that a smaller more specialized menu is better than an extensive menu?
