Best coffee shops to work from?

Parsonage (Fairfield), Hey Happy (Downtown), and Caffe Fantastico (Cook Street).

For long sessions: Parsonage's garden tables are quiet by 10am, outlets are plentiful, the espresso is real. Hey Happy on Blanshard runs at a steady tempo — good light, fast wifi, ceiling-volume music. Caffe Fantastico's Cook Street store has a back room nobody talks about; bring a sweater, the AC runs cold.
