Why A Thousand Blessings wins locally
Consistently high ratings (4.5★) backed by 690 reviews signal repeat demand. Central position captures pass-by and destination traffic.
Lesson for new entrants: Compete on a tighter daypart (early breakfast or late specialty coffee) rather than matching their full menu breadth.
Rank #2 among cafés within ~800m of Richmond centre (Google Places cache, June 2026).
