Borderlands Cafe
2010.01.08
I’ve been spending a lot of time at the new Borderlands Cafe on Valencia Street. The owners are people I’ve come to know over the years of hunting for good books. The place is bright, open, pleasant. Big tables.
In addition to the opening night potluck, I recently attended a meetup for the website io9 at the cafe.
The place has a lot of potential as a center for the kind of creative activity that interests me a lot.
The coffee is inexpensive. They insist it is not the best on the street. They also say, “No WIFI.” They are not catering to the laptop crowd.
A coffeehouse where people sit around and TALK rather than do “homework?” Go figure…
