I hate people who read books in a coffee shop. Why are you reading a book in a coffee shop. Is your home so horrible and smells so bad that you can't concentrate to read a book at home? Just read at home loser. Why on earth would you sit in a coffee shop and read all by yourself? WTF? Go home and read. Are you waiting for someone? Doubt it.

this. so glad that someone gets it. also so glad no one can reasonably explain coffee shop people.

hopefully afraid to out themselves

i've never grabbed my book and headed out the door to a crowded loud coffee shop to go read it.

i've also never wanted to hang inside a coffee shop. how is it different than hanging inside a shoe store, or a grocery store, or a women's dressing room <---dems jokes

but you know what i mean.

the motorcycle gang at coffee shop 2, why not ride your bike instead of sit there and look at it? hmmm.

also, chum1 must be a big time coffee shop aficionado.

I love coffee shops. Used to prefer studying there to in the library. Smells better. Plus they usually have fresh muffins (the good ones anyway) for a treat on your way out.

1) Lots of culture and counter culture movements associated with coffee houses for hundreds of years. In the U.S. the beats and folk revival to name two.

2) Motorcycles are cool and so are coffee houses. It's a natural match.

3) You can also get tea at these places. Tea is awesome.

4) Drinking espresso from tiny cups looks and feels very sophisticated.

More?

Once drove out to Bloatsberg to see the beats. Chaos ensued.

In my experience, it's mostly religious (or "sprirtual," whatever) types. I do not understand the appeal, but I certainly don't fault them for it.

To each their own and all of that.

Are you sure that those motorcycle guys are actually at the coffee shop? They are usually parked at night, is the shop still open then? Maybe they feel that coffee shoppers are weak and easily intimidated so they doubly enjoy parking their motorcycles there and hanging out nearby? Dunno?

Agreed on the smoothies though, top notch. And you are correct about the coffee shoppers, same people day after day and obviously know each other. I wonder if they know each other in the rest of their lives or they are just shop friends?

100% sure that the motorcycle gang at coffee shop 2 is at the coffee shop. they hang out at the coffee shop 2's little uncomfortable shitty tables out front of the place. will try to get pics and post them here.

Weird question to ask. Coffee shops have been a place to meet people and exchange ideas ever since coffee made its way across the ocean. You would be surprised at how much was accomplished during the enlightenment at coffee shops.

weird response to respond. the place isn't a meeting place or an idea exchange, it's a coffee shop. sorry you're so dumb you didn't know that, across the ocean. hey guys, lets skype on our mbp's. i'll be at coffee shop 1, you go to coffee shop 3. ok, go!

The role of the American coffee house was the same as those in England: the hotspots for the business community. The Tontine Coffee House (1792) in New York was the original location for the New York Stock Exchange, because so much business was conducted there

hmmmmmmm. I think somebody just outed themselves as a squawk, but I don't know enough about coffee shops to tell who.

When I go into the starbucks by my office over lunch I see what I'm pretty sure is a blind/internet date about once a week so it could be a good spot for that. There's always some guy or girl at one of the tables and a girl or guy comes in and they introduce themselves and sit down with their cofee and start small talking. makes for good people watching while I'm waiting for my drink. I love spotting and pointing out internet/blind dates at bars as well. Very fun to watch one of them walk out mid date.

Yes. They wear lots of leather pants and often people with dogs will join them.

Seems like it would be a good place for drug deals. Out in the open, no one is suspicious. Those bikers are undoubtedly selling meth, although, I'm not sure why they'd want to bring attention to themselves like that.

Saw a very interesting one at the Cashew last week.

I bet these aren't your typical "biker" gangs or harley davidson driving motorcycle guys. Probably more of a Cafe Racer set if I had to guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Café_racer. Yet another counter culture movement with their roots in the Coffee House scene. Whatever the case, very, VERY cool.

they're not on dates, it's a gang. same guys all the time. "leathers", "ducati", "bmw", "modded ninjas", etc.

they just love to sit there and drink coffee. one guy has a dog. how does it get there?

steve dave · « **Reply #48 on:** January 04, 2012, 01:48:49 PM »

they have dates. dog also has a date. blind/internet date city. they coordinate them because they all have social anxiety disorder and are too scared to go alone.

pissclams · « **Reply #49 on:** January 04, 2012, 01:50:18 PM »

nope no dates. get over yourself. we're all happy you saw a blind date, no one gives a flying F.
