If you’re a start-up or a freelancer you will want to contribute to this post, share it and save it for future use. Honest. And here’s why:
After starting thirdocean with Carolyn Van a few months ago we’ve spent most of our “office time” in our local Starbucks. We have not yet reached the point of wanting to spend financial resources on an office yet so we appreciate that our local coffee shop let’s us hang there for hours and hours on end.
But there comes a time when a change is called for. I’ve had enough of Starbucks and Second Cup. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not anti “big coffee”. I continue to spend time and money in these places. And I plan to continue this.
Recently, I’ve been introduced to a couple of neighbourhood gems: The independent coffee shop that also has free wifi and amazing staff.
