Reply to comment by Schmergenheimer in Free coworking space? by ploymahloy

For comparison, $3 coffee * twice a day * 20 business days in a month = $120. That is already greater than the "pay-as-you-go" monthly membership dues at gather (which includes free coffee all day).

Op should just join a paid co-working space.

this is how i justified it as well. plus, cafés are typically noisier and less comfortable to sit at for long periods of time. i could do a morning or afternoon at a coffee shop, but certainly not a whole day.

Same.

Conversely, I think I would enjoy my local coffeeshop a lot more if I could get a seat while I eat. Instead, it's clogged by WFH-types exploiting the false economy of the coffeeshop bench.

yeah, that’s fair. there a coffee shop i go to in nova that’s often just a sea of people on laptops - i think i’ve seen people there just chatting maybe once or twice.
