Did you know the famous Tipsy Cow ice cream shop has a 2nd location on Walnut? They're open early (7am) and they serve coffee! It's in a new store at a great location on the east side where a few good coffee shops are sorely needed IMO. When I went, on a Monday morning, the shop was empty which is really a tragedy. I'm really hoping they do well.
Coffee: They are a bit limited on the classic coffee items. They do an Americano and that's about it for the non-sweet options. However, they have all the stuff I like, Mocha, Carmel Macchiato, and several specialty lattes with a rock and roll theme. I got the Blondie and it was honestly delicious. I'm really looking forward to trying more of their specialty drinks.
Food: No food items, but they have all the ice cream you could ever want.
Privacy: They have a corner spot that's perfect for one person to do some work. It's very private. If you need to work on something where people won't be able to look at your screen, just set up there facing the door.
Restroom: They have a restroom. I'll try it out and update this part when I do.
Available seating: It's set up more like an ice cream shop/fast food place than a coffee shop. However, it's got plenty of places to sit. There is one spot in particular, as I mentioned, that's in the corner and looks like it's meant for 1 or two people to sit that works for working. It's a little small though. I was a bit uncomfortable there, but it has a convenient outlet.
Outlets: There aren't many outlets. There's the one I mentioned and another one under a table across the room. Right now, while it's not too busy, there's no problem getting one of them, but when they get more popular I could see it being a problem.
WiFi: No wifi yet. Hopefully they'll get it soon.
Noise Level: They've got pop/rock music playing. The remote worker spot in the corner is right under the speaker so it's a little loud, but not too bad. There were no people there other than the workers while I was there so it was just the music and me.

Overall, this is a solid place to work when you're looking for variety. Definitely try it out. The coffee is real good and it's private. This will probably be a somewhat regular spot for me. Once every two weeks or so.
