In Russia we have a new type of coffee shops:
drinks and cookies are free
you pay for you time, 0.03$ per minute
We've got around 300 of these new "free spaces" opened in 2012.

- snogglethorpe 14y agoNeat. Manga "cafes" in Japan often use a similar model, where you pay per hour and there's a range of free drinks/snacks (plus more substantial food you can pay extra for), and of course you can read all their manga while you're there, or pay an extra fee to use a computer. Most have a very different vibe though, with an overtly less "social" atmosphere (more like a library); a similar model in a more traditional cafe setting sounds very appealing.
