An individual (coffee shop revolutionary) or group of individuals (revolutionaries) who speculate on the utopia that "could be" following radical societal, governmental, and cultural change without actually taking action to do initiate it.
These coffee shop revolutionaries are comparable to "Armchair Generals" and "Armchair Politician's".
The prefixes of "Coffee Shop-" or "Armchair-" imply that the individual or individuals who desire reform or change lack the interest in making the sacrifices to take part in it. They are also the people who have the luxury of playing the all-knowing spectator to an event or social situation. An armchair general, for example, is a civilian one who believes he has all the solutions to a war which he formulated while sitting in his recliner in front of the television or while reading a newspaper.

n. Launched by The Trinerz Foundation in 2007 to combat the profligacy of students. It was inspired by the scrap counter at Reed College.

Despite many complaints of it being "unsanitary" it remains and is growing into a lunch revolution.
