London, ON, just witnessed the birth of a new coffee house downtown called "the Coffee Office," with cubicles available and meeting rooms. I imagine it'll be busy come exam time, though it was quiet last Friday, even with the World Junior Championships on.

Oh, and it's just up the block from a Starbucks and near the Market with its two coffee shops and a Tea Haus. Maybe downtown London will gain a critical mass of third spaces soon...
