There's really no value in going to a coffee shop any more unless its to socialize, and the social element is dying by design. The coffee quality is never better than you can make at home for a tenth of the price, and most places are now redesigning their interiors so that they encourage people to move on, not hang out.

I mean look at the chair in OP's pic - sit on that for more than 10 minutes and you're going to have a crimp in your back. That's an intentional design element to keep you moving and not taking up space for new customers.

You give me a coffee shop with big ass sofas and a piano and chess sets and wifi and I'll gladly pay $5 a cup to hang out. I'll probably end up spending another $20 while I'm there. But the coffee alone just ain't worth it.
