    We need more buildings that are like public parks. A big open and inviting space with tables and benches and power outlets free for anyone to use.

    Libraries are nice for studying but you can’t eat and drink in there or chat with friends and family. I can’t think of any public spaces that really reflect what a coffee shop could provide.

        Pretty sure a pub would ask you to leave if you didn’t buy anything

      In Belfast there’s a lovely space called 2 Royal Avenue which does exactly this. Hopefully it remains.

      There’s even a community bulletin board and such.
