From the post... ----------------------------------- The key to a good working cafe are: 1. Character and charm - You don't want to be sitting at a cookie-cutter cold Starbucks or a place that doesn't have a local feel to it. The best places are those that have cool furniture, colorful walls and decor, and fun staff. 2. Good music - If you're going to be sitting at a place for hours and hours, the last thing you want to have to endure is crappy music or music that's too loud and distracting. 3. Mixed crowd - It's nice to have a diversity of people wherever you work because when you start daydreaming (not that I ever do), you can people watch. San Francisco is such a diverse city that it's always fun to see all the eclectic types that make this city so wonderful to live in. 4. Tasty food and drinks - A cafe isn't a cafe unless they have quality munchies and can make a mean latte.
