Disclaimer: These are just my opinions. I’ve usually only been to these spots once or twice, so YMMV! Even for places I rate as “great work/study spaces,” please be considerate — don’t loiter for hours without buying multiple drinks, and try not to hog space from paying customers. Also I’m no coffee expert by any means, but I usually ordered a latte or cold brew with whole milk, and sweet pastries (if I got food).
