I work out of a nearby coffee shop in Ottawa in a very small community/neighbourhood. it's low traffic, and I'm on first name basis with everybody that works there. it's fantastic, and beats working in a real office. the wifi is unlimited, there's plenty of power outlets, and occasionally on really long days, I'll have two meals there (which makes up for those crunchtime days where I'm doing nothing but drinking coffee). and they're open till midnight, and serve beer for ballmer peak days. the real key is to just work out of a coffee shop 2ish times a week and a homeoffice the rest of the time. you split your costs and you're not always there.
