"Coffee shops, cafe's, whatever you call them they have become the defacto public spaces in today's Urban America a capitalist secularization of what once was actual God given public commons, so the more (and less taxing, er, expensive) the better. This downtown offshoot quite literally thrusts its public excitingly into traffic in its outdoor seating which is fine by me when writing, reading or having an eager conversation. The coffee is suitable and though my breakfast burrito was disappointingly meager it was nevertheless tasty. Chilled city water comes in adult sized serving sizes, thankfully (enough of the thimbles please for us Summer bike enthusiasts) and the people wander by in search of books or book art at enough space to feel seen (or to have seen a few). Indoors is quite vast by most standards and has the bonus of sculptures, a book store and the Book Art museuem contained within its walls as well. I am not sure about wifi or power plugs, but I assume the growing morning crowd would have moved on if those were not also available."
