Food Scene
This is probably the closest coffee shop. It's very laptop-friendly, spacious, and with free wifi. It doubles as a music venue too. I highly recommend the iced mocha made with almond milk.

This tiny little coffee shop roasts their beans over wood fire. Neat! The place smells great, and it seems to be full of students with laptops quite often. The staff is super friendly too.

There's a little street festival every first Thursday of the month, and Guero's is kind of in the middle of it. This Mexican restaurant is always hopping, and they have great margaritas.
