Nicole,
I've been running coffeeshops for over 6 years now so if you need spesifics just send me a private message - I've learned alot the hard way.
I'm sorry that all of my vendors are local to me here in Massachusetts - I wish I had better info for you.
I have one site that I think might help you - the training videos are splendid and there are many great links to other industry sites.Espresso 101 links page
Please let me know if I can help more.
You know, I'm a bit jealous of your opportunity - best of luck!
CS

PS take a peek at the thread in "Restaurant Rave" about coffee houses - you may find some more people with info for you.
