To find the man's speed between the coffee shop and the other shop, we can use the formula:

Speed = Distance / Time

In the first scenario, the man walks 4 km in 20 minutes, so his speed is:

Speed1 = 4 km / 20 minutes = 0.2 km/min

In the second scenario, the total distance covered is 10 km in 50 minutes. Since we know the man walked 4 km in the first scenario, we can subtract that from the total distance to find the distance between the two shops:

Distance2 = Total distance - Distance1

Distance2 = 10 km - 4 km = 6 km

The time taken for the second scenario is 50 minutes, so we can calculate the speed:

Speed2 = Distance2 / Time

Speed2 = 6 km / 50 minutes = 0.12 km/min

Therefore, the man's speed between the coffee shop and the other shop is 0.12 km/min.
