Coffee House Intelligence Report

The past two weeks, I've been scouting new locations for writing club - both for the short (ie right now) and medium (ie this summer) term. Here are the findings:
**************************************************
Tsunami (located on Sunset and Hyperion, near the Giant Robot store).

Food Quality: 6/10
Coffee Quality: 7/10
Price: $$$ (out of four - for coffee and food and generally what you get - ie Value)
Atmosphere: 6/10

Quiet. Not a lot of space. Seats are not made for writing. They have benches and sofa cushions. Not many patrons. It also sells incense and other hippy crap. Not much parking around, the street gets filled up. Not impossible, though. I could walk.

The Coffee Table (located on Rowena, near Hyperion)

Food Quality: 8/10
Coffee Quality: 7/10
Price: $$$
Atmosphere: 4/10

Busy. Lots of people come to eat here, even on weekdays. There is a lot of space, but VERY few (if any) working outlets. Not many writers, mostly readers. Parking is available at cheap meters. They have water available, which is nice.

Silverlake Coffee House

Food Quality: 6/10
Coffee Quality: 7/10
Price: $$
Atmosphere: 6/10

Small. Busy, but quiet. This is a place people come to write. Parking available for free in lot. I talking might be a little weird in this place because of the size.

Ragazzi Room

Food Quality: 2/10
Coffee Quality: 2/10
Price: $
Atmosphere: 10/10

Big. Spacious. Comfortable. Outlets work. Parking available for free in lot or on street. Food and service is bad. Coffee is not good. Even though it is cheap, it is still overpriced for the value.

*************************************

No policy recommedations at this time. No one option stands out as best. There are other locations to be scouted: Casbah Coffee Shop, PsychoBabble (both of which I think will be too busy), Bourgeois Pig (awkward location, no parking), any others? Unsure.
