People get their coffee on the way to work or during a work break. There's probably not enough business to warrant staying open past the afternoon.

This is pretty much the reason. Evening coffee isn't really a thing for many people, and smaller coffee shops generally won't make enough from the handful of people that will stop in to justify paying staff for the extra 8 hours you're proposing. Starbucks and the like have done enough to diversify their menus and establish an identity of being a hangout spot that they can get away with it, but that's a tall order for a small business.
