Cafes

Cafes and writers have a long history.
Some writers do their writing in cafes and why not? Tea and coffee on tap, anonymity, people-watching...heating when necessary.  Cafes are also wonderful spots to set scenes and dialogue in novels. Cafes are good meeting places, where characters who may not want to visit one another's homes. They are also good safe meeting places where one might hold a fairly private conversation.
On the side, it's great fun to create cafes; name them, give them owners and ambiance...
