Capital One Café

"Please hear us out on this one. As many people online have pointed out (example A, example B), doing work out of a coffee shop operated by a publicly-traded bank feels like a particularly sinister episode of Black Mirror. However, it’s also an excellent place to get things done. Their location in downtown Santa Monica is normally pretty empty and filled with long rows of tables, each accompanied by their own outlet. They’ve got a Peet’s on-site, really fast wifi, and are open for 11 hours a day. If you can swallow your hate for corporate America just a little, this might just be your new favorite place to work. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
