I think you're marginalizing the idea here (much as the rep in the original article did the NC)... I described a basic concept, which can be embellished upon by smart businesspeople and marketers into something much, much better than a "coffee shop." And as far as how they would make their money, that too is not established yet, and widely open to embellishment.
But I think it's do-able, specifically because it is designed to support the human predilection to be a social animal. Create a place where people enjoy visiting, and get help to buy the things they want, and you'll be successful... people will even pay extra for that, if they like it enough.
