This article investigates the challenges of Kiang Valley's independent cafes at the entry stage, while also identifying their shared critical factors for success and their common practices. A total of five exemplar cases and two coffee industry experts were sampled in a two-phase qualitative approach. A list of eight challenges were identified and thematic analysis was used to find four critical success factors essential to survive past the entry stage: (1) concept vs. strategies; (2) an extended notion of location selection; (3) building foundations; and (4) family factors and family life-cycle management. By understanding the critical success factors of the exemplar cafes, foodservice entrepreneurs can gain insights on how these factors could be incorporated into their business strategies to survive the entry stage. Moreover, by investigating Kiang Valley's cafe culture, this study broadens the understanding of Kiang Valley's destination characteristics, and provides practical and realistic implications that contribute to the development of Kiang Valley through cultural and culinary tourism initiatives.
