Greetings Playoff:

The only plans I could locate online at *no cost* to you are:

http://www.bplans.com/c/sp/d/index.cfm?s=1031&topic=1#1 - the actual
business plan for a combination coffee shop and Internet cafe.  It is
very complete and highly detailed.

An assignment completed by a Univeristy of Arizona student for "Wazzup
Wake 'em Up Coffee Shop" where the author has posted the plan on the
web at http://edweb.tusd.k12.az.us/nussbeg/exbusplan.htm.  It's not
nearly as comprehensive as the first one but it is an excellent
example of a brief plan.

The Churchill Coffe Company business plan for their retail stores is
located at http://216.239.57.100/search?q=cache:V78z1GKz4z0C:www.mgt.smsu.edu/pdf/coffee.pdf+%22business+plan%22+%22coffee+house%22&hl=en&start=8&ie=UTF-8
- it is rather brief.

Hi!

As stated in the question, i am looking for one which is uk base. 
I have an overview on the webpages that u given, most are US base. 
Wondering is it possible for you to find just another ONE uk base

I have actually tried searching through all the major search engines

Once again, appreciate your time. 
Just tell me if you give up and I will give u a brilliant rating.

I wish to know how many percentage from the list price you will get?

I have looked and looked but still no UK based plan.  You may have to
contact one of the consulting firms to see if they have worked with UK
clients.  Perhaps they can assist you (though I daresay they will
charge handsomely).

I interpreted the "plans for opening a coffee shop in UK" as you were
opening a shop there and searching for plans.  I apologize for the
misinterpretation and if you'd like me to contact the editors and have
the answer removed, I'll be happy to comply.

I hate to ever give up and it appears I have exhausted all UK business
plan resources.  Regarding the percentage a Researcher receives, that
is 75% of the question price.

PS  Totally off-topic thought:

You could include a coffee gift basket service termed

Thank you for your rating and comments.  I suppose you could move
westward a bit although I would choose the UK because I've always
wanted to live there.  :)
