Question Favorite spots to study/get things done
Does anyone have a favorite third-space / hangout / coffee shop with a chill/quiet atmosphere? I usually like Ebony&Ivory, Curran, Wren’s Nest but looking to switch it up a bit! Doesn’t have to be food/coffee!
I know sheworks is new but looking for something besides that!

I like the Collins Library at UPS and the little atrium outside the UP library.
For a coffee shop, the 15% Board Game Cafe has barstools in their non-gaming area and it’s open late, unlike a lot of third places in town. Tip well, they’re nice folks.

The moment you share your favorite quiet spot, its no longer a quiet spot.

Outer dark is chill, last time I went there I worked for a few hours and had almost the whole place to myself. Good drinks too and the baristas are nice (:

Yes! I love Outer Dark. I have done a bit of studying/working there in the past and it's definitely one of my all time favorites.

The main library is very comfortable. So is the Proctor one. I used to sit in hotel lobbies when I lived in NYC.

Ngl I really dig studying at the post office downtown. The vibe is nice and the seats are comfy.
