So I have been considering opening up a baking biz later in my future most likely with a law school friend of mine who loves to bake as well. For now however was thinking of starting small and focusing on specialty brownies. I feel like a lot of people bake specialty cupcakes and not a lot of give Brownies a chance. lol. How many people love brownies and/or would buy specialty brownies like s'more flavor or , baileys flavor, mint flavor, various blondies.
I have other unique ideas for brownies that are not standard flavors like the ones I mentioned above but I rather not share them in case someone steals them lol. Also have ideas for different brownie shapes and ways to decorate them. things like cupcake brownies, brownie cakes, themed shaped brownies etc
I dont know part pf me says go for it and other part of me is nervous. I just want honest opinions as to whether there will be a market for brownies or if I should go a different route.

Sounds like so much fun! My sister owns a bakery in the city and she does specialize in cupcakes, but does make everything else too (including my wedding cake! )
I would suggest focusing on the brownies, but maybe eventually offering other items available as well. Good luck!!!

If you can figure out how to do brownies for people with restricted diets too (eg gluten free) you could make bank. My co-worker has such a hard time with that stuff.

I think specialty brownies are a great idea.. it's something different but familiar at the same time! I think it would work out well even if you started out without a storefront and mostly did weddings and other events because that way you could build familiarize people with your name and product without going into debt (unless finances aren't an issue).
Are you a practicing attorney? There's actually a handfull of folks from my law school (I'm still a 3L) who have gone into the food/restaurant world.
