A place for coding


I like to code, ha ha pretty geeky. I have compiled a top five list of the best places to sit down plug-in and get creative, or something like that.

1. The Blue Moon Coffee Company - Hastings, Nebraska

The Blue Moon is a cool quite place with a lot of cool booths, tables, chairs, and couches to relax in. The best part is their electricity situation. I am pretty sure that they have an outlet for at least every booth, I have not been there fighting for an outlet. A down that they have is WiFi. It is available and free but almost half of the time that I am there it is not working properly.

2. Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill - Denver, Colorado
Garbanzo is a pretty sweet place, try the food it tastes great get a pita with some hummus and beef. They don't have any really comfortable areas, but they do have outlets under each booth, and some in the walls next to small tables, they don't have WiFi, but I have always had an outlet to plug into, and they don't care how long you are there.
3. Bruegger's Bagel's - Denver, Colorado
This store is located pretty close to the University of Denver campus. Good service, they are very fast getting you through the line, and down in your seat. You don't have to buy anything either, you could just sit down in their padded booths and plug-in, the outlets are right next to the salt and pepper shakers, pretty nice. It also has pretty reliable free WiFi. But you will be lucky to get a booth, like I said it is pretty close to DU's campus, so there are plenty of college students that are trying to find a place to study that land there.


4. Starbucks Coffee - Monument, Colorado
The Starbucks in Monument is the most up to date one i have been in so far. they have free WiFi, and they actually have a little workstation that can host about six laptops at a table next to the pick-up counter. They also have several outlets by the windows and one or two along the walls. The only downfall to this area is traffic that it gets, it's right next to i25 and is always very busy, it is also a small place.

5. Ihop - Pueblo, Colorado
The Ihop in Pueblo is not full of outlets, but the food is fast, and if they are not packed they can find you an outlet, just don't show up on a Sunday morning. The last time I was there they didn't have WiFi themselves, but there were a couple available in the area, or you can just go off the WiFi on your phone like I did. They try to accommodate you and your laptop that is why they made my list, I have been to places that won't do anything to help your situation.

If you are in the area check those places out maybe I will see you there.
