Posted: 10:07 AM- OGDEN - A small coffee shop in Ogden has been serving up specialty brews for about seven months.

And for the last two, Cafe Ville Bella has had new neighbors -- coffee behemoth Starbucks.

The owners of Ville Bella says it's good and bad. Starbucks draws more people to the area, but the small shop is also in direct competition with the popular coffee chain.

Ville Bella and other independent shops have been trying to set their businesses apart by offering things like meals to local arts and music.
