There's a place like that where I live (Santa Cruz, CA), the "Wired Wash"; it's a laundromat, coffee house, and internet cafe, and an art gallery; it's open 24/7. It's got a great location: right next to a hip, low-cost restaurant that's open 20 hours a day, a 24-hours Kinko's, and the town's teen center. And yes, this is a college town.
The place seems to do quite well; there's always a fair number of people in there. They were moving into live music, too, but they've had trouble getting the permits.
