Re: "Coffee Klatch."

Sure, we need more of these around. I'm just happy there's a place like this that fits the bill right in my neighborhood. It's more of a cafe than a coffee shop, but that didn't stop the owner from putting dual power plugs in between every couple of seats at the bar. And getting a darn fast wifi connection.

That they make some of the best drip coffee in the area, and serve brunch 7 days a week, combined with affordable prices...

The owner has a coffee shop too, but it's too cramped to work in all day. He recognized that people were starting to try to do that there - and kept it in mind when he opened up this cafe. During a typical weekday, the bar is filled with people with laptops open.



Where is this? Been looking for a decent coffee shop/cafe to work in for a while now.


I always see a bunch of people w/ laptops at the Bar at Cocoa bar: http://www.yelp.com/biz/cocoa-bar-new-york

Also there's usually a couple laptops out at Coyi Cafe up the streeet on Ave B.

Though I do agree that there's a shortage of good spots to hang out w/ a laptop for a few hours during the week daytime.

(not that this has any effect in my mind as to whether NY is better than SF for startups, but whatever)


I don't know to where OP is referring, but I've found Table 12 on Ave A & 12th to be a decent place to work. When I've gone during the day on weekdays it's usually half-empty, has free wifi, and the staff hasn't seemed to mind my loitering (though I do buy stuff).


Cafe Ghia, Jefferson stop of the L train. 24 Irving Avenue.

And their food is a lot better than Table 12 ;)
