> You could show up with your laptop and work, and not get the kind of side eye you’d get from coffee shops. Conversely, as someone who wants to actually sample the offerings at different coffee shops, I find it incredibly annoying that there's never any space to just sit and drink coffee. Every space is overtaken by laptop users parked for hours. Me, I'd like to try a nice pourover, and sit and savor it for half hour or so before heading on my day. Instead, my only option is a to go cup, and I'm damned if I'm spending that much for drinking out a paper cup standing outside.
