   When I was freelancing in 2017-2018, I had my list of coffee shops with    
   killer coffee, those that had fast wifi, and those that made a point of not    
   offering wifi at all.   
      
   A couple had killer wifi and great coffee. One had the best coffee and so-so    
   wifi. One had no wifi and decent coffee.   
      
   I'd go to coffee shop number 1 to work, coffee shop number 2 when I wanted    
   to treat myself and still get some work done, and number 3 when I wanted to    
   read a book or do creative work.   
      
   I miss them all, now. Working from home does have its advantages but    
   creative inspiration isn't one of them.   
      
   There was one more category - coffee shops with killer music playlists    
   that'd make me put my earbuds away.   
      
   I hope that culture makes a comeback; I think I'll be packing lysol wipes    
   and wiping down my table when I sit down.
