Village Grounds

Village Grounds is conducive to both working/studying and socializing, a rare thing as far as coffee shops go. The cafe is relaxed, and the noise level is great for studying while not being prohibitive for conversation. The clientele is a good mix of different kinds of folks - students (undergrad and grad), faculty from UCB, families, young professional-types, etc. A lot of people come here to work on their laptops. The regulars are all really cool too.
