>This thread feels so weird to me. I live in a bougie NYC neighborhood and we have multiple independent coffee shops per block. They're not cheap but they're perfect spaces for working or hanging out. On the weekends though, when the rest of the world floods into town, you gotta get there kinda early if you want a seat.

Yeah, I'm in a Midwest city with a coffee scene that punches above it's weight and we have places like that too, and they make great coffee, but they just aren't the same as the old cozy coffeehouses.

found this pic on Yelp, it's the best coffeeshop in my city. Absolutely delicious, most of the time when I buy beans to grind at home, I buy them here. And yet...I just don't have a desire to hang out there. It's sterile and clean and the walls are bright white. There are no couches
