we need more 24 hr cozy cafes my ideal list: - subscription based (!!) & unlimited coffee - non-wework-corporate feel that you can relax in: cozy ambience, warm lighting, wood, low-profile - no lyrics music for focus - in-house library taiwan has many of these

a few bos vs sf scene observations. i may be wrong as ive been here for a few days. - pats are replaced with collared polos stacked w cashmere sweaters. - vibe is very academia, pursuing knowledge just bc (e.g. i write papers on pure math for a living) vs. "is this pragmatic"
