A new cafe just opened up in our neighborhood, about a block from our coworking space.
This is what they tweeted on opening day: https://twitter.com/menageriecoffee/status/375650457898999808 In spite of the fact that our coworking space has free coffee, and VERY GOOD free coffee, having a great cafe nearby has *always *proven a valuable asset. We're symbiotic, in a way: they're another option for our members to take a break/have a meeting *run by a nice group of people who we like to spend time with*, and they're able to recommend us as as* a great group of people that they like to spend time with*, who happen to share a workspace that's more optimized for certain kinds of work. As with everything, this has nothing to do with "cafes" and everything to do with people - more specifically the attitudes of local business owners and how they can work better together than they can alone. For us, I'm pretty sure we're gonna go together like peanut butter and chocolate. -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Sun, Aug 18, 2013 at 8:33 AM, Danilo Salgueiro < danilo.salgue...@expressomirassol.com.br> wrote: > I Think the movement is good for the coffee shops.
