While in Seattle, I got into the coffee shop "scene". It's a perfect setup: lots of rain means there are lots of cozy places to settle in for the day. Here in the Bay Area, there aren't a lot of places that have it down. There's either not enough seating, or the atmosphere is all wrong. The coffee shop up the street has the right atmosphere, and there are plenty of places to sit, and the food's fine, but the staff just rubs me the wrong way. They busy themselves playing music way too loud, or way too ironically (today it was "classic soul" a la Smokey Robinson and the Supremes), and shouting to each other, jumping around in ways that are designed to garner attention, and just generally acting cooler-than-thou.
True though this may be, they don't need to rub it in.
