My current "coffice" is Coffee Connection in Salt Lake City, UT. I've been typing away on my laptop there since they opened in 2007. It's a great way to work especially when I want to get out of the house. What I would like to do is start an online community of the frequent mobile entrepreneurs that come in to CC (as we call it) and share tips for being productive in our little wifi workspaces :) That way we can interact with more than just a nod when we pass by each others table. Interaction at the workplace is vital to work morale but can be a challenge to do in person while at a cafe. It's something we new entrepreneurs took for granted I think when we had a regular office with a constant stream of coworkers day to day. Great article!

Amazingly, the hot spot for small businessmen and entrepreneurs here in Lima is Starbucks, go figure... but I have to say the `bucks here are way better than any in the US...they have ample parking spaces,are large and comfortable, have free wireless, bloody patient staff and they are in great loocations so you can always arrange meetings with pretty much anybody. To me coffice is the way to go....hoffice with 1 year old twins distracting you is definetily not the go!

If you're travelling in the UK use Virgin rail. It may be more expensive but no productivity lost as they supply free internet and coffee.

Fast, great view, great food, big tables at Arintji Cafe Bar and fabulous wine. The location and history makes a good impression on international customers. p.s. you have to connect to a secure network at Fed Sq, so safer than Maccas.

You can have everything you listed in your 'home office' and forget about the ongoing distraction you have with customers going in and out, children screaming, or someone pirating your (unsecured because free) Internet connection. Coffice no, Hoffice yes. Hi,
