We work from home, so coffee shops often acts as a meeting place for clients, and we also like to have a change of place to write in a few times a week. I guess what we're looking for is a Local Jo-ish place, closer to home. Cheers, Chowhounders!

Which is a joint venture between a former manager at Steve-o-renos and the woman who sells home made croissants at the Dartmouth Market. In the meantime, the only place I know of (other than Starbucks at Chapters) is Our Thyme Cafe, located in a building with no store front, on Portland Street. (It's bizarre because it looks like you are going into someone's apartment and how it got be built that way on a commercial street like Portland in the first place I still wonder) lI haven't been but I have heard from others that it is a cozy spot: http://www.thecoast.ca/Shoptalk/archives/2009/01/29/now-with-parsley-sage-and-rosemary Tue Sep 22 04:26:28 -0700 2009 5039476 14955 parleek
