I've been making my way through different cafés and coffee places, because I find them somewhat meditative and ironically, less distracting than my desk at home. Bagels & Beans is a solid address, if you're in the mood for something other than coffee (they obviously have coffee, too, but also plenty of tea, matcha, juices and other fun stuff) and a quick bagel (plenty of options, too). I would say they are geared towards students, so bring your project group or get some writing/reading done yourself. They don't mind the armada of MacBooks here. I like to grab a window seat and let my mind wander a little bit, works wonders when you feel a little stuck. I've always had a good experience here, so keep coming back on occasion, to not let the procrastination get a hold of me.
P.S. can recommend the hummus bagel, it's filling, tasty and not too expensive. read more
