My favorite spot has one -- count it -- one plug in the whole cafe. Regulars jockey quickly to grab it. It just occurred to me to bring a 3-way converter next time. Hmmmm. I would also like a small variety of food, because I keep breaking my diet when hunger hits. Donuts and pastries are great, but how about something else for a change? And also, while I'm on a roll, lighting that provides both atmosphere and actual light. Duncan you are SO right on several things:

I don't drink the coffee stuff.... Space to be alone if you want peace Plugs for when you want to charge your laptop after 5 hours and one drink. Food to keep you going after 5 hours Signs that they care about the community, something that makes you feel part of it, rather than it just being a coffee shop A member of staff that stands out, that remembers you. You go there because it's a good place, you stay there because you know them Check out the Q cafe, I love that concept Tea! I don’t drink the coffee stuff….
