I believe that Vaughan said he warmed up to the rectangular table by the end of our time there, though I’ll let him speak for himself here…

I really enjoyed our time at Toorak — I liked how much space there was for us to sit together, even with our computers, I liked the atmosphere, and I liked that the wifi was good. I also liked that there is a lot more parking than at the Library, so nobody had to worry about Friday street sweeping or 1-hour spots. It was also nice to feel like we could chat without disturbing people, and the food all looked good. They also have my favorite kind of tea, and it was 10-15 minutes faster to get there than the Library for me because of how close it is to the freeway.

Anyone else want to weigh in?

Here is my pros and cons:

Pro for The Library:
Good and funky with a real unique coffee shop vibe
Cute boy barista

Cons for The Library:
The owner didn’t really seem to be very fond of us
The parking could be difficult
Wifi was intermittent to bad

Pro for Toorak:
Nice clean ultra modern interior
Good wifi
More food options
The Owner & the barista seemed very happy to have us there

Con for Toorak:
In a large strip mall with big box stores, so parking was painful for me, but fine for others.

I say we go back to Toorak at least once more and then we can see what we think.

I agree with David that Vaughan should weigh in his opinion.

The Library was a good spot, but I really liked the new location this week! Will be interested in Vaughan’s take, as he likes circular tables for big groups such as TuttleLA. Most of us seemed to have no problem accessing the Wi-Fi Internet signal too. I vote for Toorak.
