I'm so pleased that there's a cafe near our side with an interior layout of tables fully intended for their customers to linger over a coffee to work, chat, and socialize. This courtyard is delightful, with a shade tree and a dripping water fountain along a vegetated wall, that shuts out the ugly concrete grind just on the outside. The tables don't feel flimsy, and they are well sized for laptops or discussions among groups. Certain tables are closer to the outlets which are often thoughtfully pointed out, and most of the exterior tables are within proximity of one of their standing gas heat lamps, which is precisely necessary when seated for long periods. In all this is a cafe user's dream, which most other places don't seem to get right.
