The Aura of a Coffeehouse

Image DetailThink about your favorite place to publicly hang out. What keeps drawing you back to that particular spot? Here is a short list of the reasons why you find yourself living at your "other" office.

  • Location, location, location. Our favorite spots are generally close to, or in the middle of, high traffic areas. If you can knock out groceries, snag your nephew's birthday present, and pick up your favorite cup of joe... that makes you feel... accomplished.
  • Awesome, friendly service. Good coffeehouses are busy. Excellent baristas make sure you get the personalized attention!
  • Good coffee and treats. What's the point of hanging out in a coffeehouse if your coffee is terrible?
  • Relaxed, yet social, surroundings. If you are using a hang out as an extra office, this becomes the most important feature. Music is not too loud or distracting. There is enough activity to feel relaxed and keep your eyes from straining against your computer screen. And, on occasion, you bump into a friend or two.
