hey guys,

i know that we like to sit in front of our tanks 24hrs..... haha i wish i could! but i can't and need to find some place where i can do my work, other than home.

before you ask, there is nothing wrong with my house :) well besides 2 fish SW fishtanks, need i say more? lol,

i know that some of you might know some cool coffee shops where i can get some work done and/or surf the net like i am doing now... from WORMHOLE on Milwaukee and north ave.

i am looking for other spots since i get quickly bored of the same coffee shop, and i like a variety. Starbucks or any other big chain doesn't qualify since their coffee doesn't taste the same or the experience is... well you know. (not bashing on sbux, worked there for 4 years and love the company) i just need something with a little more uhhmmmm personality.

if you ask yourself why not YELP it? i tried, but i cant really ask questions about them, and i feel like most people post a negative feed back rather than a good one. and besides, i trust this forum with advice for my pets/fish, why not trust them with their expertise in coffee shops as well. :)

please let me know if you know of such place that i can go spend my countless free hrs in, well at least i would, my wife comes with me all the time, but for her its another story.. 2nd year in optometry school at ICO. ( has to find a way to stay up with the hundreds of pages she has to study.... who knew eyes were so crazy, i take them fro granted, but so many things can go wrong... lol

here are some things that i am looking for in a coffee shop.

ambience light/music playing in the background

plenty of seating space
wall outlets!!! for my mac
parking (street is fine)

LATE HOURS :) if they close at 7pm, it wont work, we stay up until 2-3 am so i need something till at least 9-11 pm

-------> oh and lets not forget about the coffee, great espresso drinks, good drip coffee (french press/ or pour over) if available.

doesn't have to have food, but if it does its a plus.

please least some places that you know would somewhat match my criteria and i will do some research on it. (YELP and google, and ultimately stop by for the experience. )

Here are the two places i know of ... i live on 33rd s. and michigan, but drive daily to one of these shops.
