Interesting. At least one coffee shop in NYC has already done this on their own, for only $25/mo (but it's only one location):

The subscription only gets your their ice coffee which is amazing and incredibly strong. Everything in both of their stores is for sale (maybe even including the furniture) but yes, only one location has a cafe.

Fair Folks is great. I live in the area and stop by all the time. Make sure to get a cup if you're on Houston.

Ditto. What makes me excited about their model is that this is working across several cafes in a neighborhood.
