for something like this you probably want to prioritize somewhere sizable to make sure you can actually get a seat. now that coffee exchange is back open inside i would say plunk down there, or if it doesn’t strictly have to be a coffee place there’s a good bit of space at the seven stars on point st. the bolt inside the risd museum is usually my go-to again because of its size, but when classes are in session it’s a bit of crapshoot whether or not it’s packed.

Seven stars is great, but doesn’t have WiFi just a heads up

They're already going to mooch a seat that could go to multiple paying customers per hour. The least they can do is use their own phone as a hotspot.

>coffee exchange is back open inside

It's reopened with a whole new space on the second floor! So, between people who got out of the habit of going there during the pandemic, and those who don't know about the new space upstairs, it's likely to offer more available space with less pressure to move on than it has in decades. And it has teas and food.
