Hi,
There are so many places that you can get retro deco from. You didn't specify what era so I will list places that will be a mix. What a cool idea for decorating a coffee shop. Enjoy!

1950's Retro- Here he has some really cool and cute retro sets to choose from! Condiment tray from the 50's and serving bowls, glasses and much more!
The Hip Haven- I love the way they have a mix of things here. They have outdoor, planters, and more.

LaBelle Epoque- Here they have lots of vintage poster art.
Out Of Vogue- Many Vintage pieces here to choose from, including a very cute vintage coffee set.
Retro-a-go-go- I love this site, the music and first page is so cute. Not to mention all the great stuff they have inside!
Vintage Look- Whether its the 50's, 60's, or 70's you want, they have it hear, coffee mugs, tables, ashtrays, the works.

Retro Readheads- Here they also have a nice array of great things to choose from.
Posh Chicago- Has a really cute silver vintage coffee set.
Sorrentina Coffe Online- Here they have a lot of vintage coffee grinders, roasing pans, and other accessories.

CAFFEXPRESS Moka Pot Italy 1940's? Cast Alloy RARE Coffee Maker

Diner Decor- Here is another places that does retro coffee shop wares. Because of the vintage look but recent made they are really cheap!
50's retro signs- Here they have really cute coffee signs for her coffee house!
Pottery Barn- I had to list this because I just thought it was cute. They have throw pillows that look like they are made out of coffee sacks with writing. If her coffee house is anything like the ones here they always have a small sitting area with a sofa or couch. This may be a cute accent for your.

This is a very great acheivement and I hope that it will be very successful. Time is very important when you go to a coffee shop, so you really need to have a clock. A retro wall clock will work just fine. You can pick the color that you want, but since I was not sure the color scheme the iron will work fine for now. A nice retro style phone is a good addition too. I wasn't too sure if you were looking for furniture as part of the decorations but Home Styles Soda Shoppe Complete Corner Nook really stoop out. Hope there is enough space to put it in.
