Working from a Coffee Shop
Coffee shops have a great atmosphere and a hip vibe. They [usually] provide free wi-fi and are full of people toting laptops and books, ready to take on the world with their words. When I say coffee shop - do you automatically think Starbucks? If you did, you’d be thinking of the wrong type of coffee shop my friend.
Last week the team and I met up at a coffee shop armed with our laptops, ready to do some work. Normally we just come to the office, so this was a very nice change of pace in a different part of the city. The decor of the coffee shop we went to was totally 80’s - decked out with lunchboxes along the shelves, old toys and gadgets scattered throughout the place and even DeLorean parked right inside the front door. Luckily there were tables with enough outlets (phew!) and couches to relax, get comfy and do some work while sipping on some Chai Lattes.
While at this new location, we also got to venture out at lunchtime and taste test some new foods and restaurants we wouldn’t normally have been privy to. I had my first experience eating Thai food - and I loved it! I now want to eat it all the time, and wouldn’t have this urge if we didn’t work off location today.
Overall, it was a great change of pace to work in a coffee shop as opposed to the office. It opened up new opportunities that we wouldn’t have the privilege to experience otherwise. Perhaps this a nonchalant reference to get out of your comfort zone from time to time - you may stumble upon something you love! (like Thai food!)
