High-end coffee shops. I’ve been lucky that two of them that I’ve gone to had a bunch of interesting regulars. They were usually foodies (and I’m not), but they have other interests (travel, data, politics, woodworking, etc.). And, if you ever need an impressive restaurant for a date or business meeting, they have great recommendations. I believe a lot of the fostering of a “regular cwrowd” has to do with the architecture of the space. Both places had tight spaces near the staff. Also, the staff were interesting in each places, which started conversations or kept them going during slow times. So the crowd may not be at the tippy-top best coffee shop.
