It’s a tale as old as time: You pack your bag with all your required readings and head to a nearby coffee shop with good reviews online, only to find that the layout of the cafe makes it absolutely impossible to get any work done. You order an expensive latte anyway — you’re already here, might as well — but you end up chatting with a friend or getting distracted by your phone instead of having the productive day you had planned.

Are you one of those many people who goes to Starbucks or St. Louis Bread Company—also known as Panera—and orders the same thing every time? “I’ll have a decaf latté with 1/8 a cup of skim milk, pure vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon, shaken, not stirred? Oh, and a brownie.” Well, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Not a fan of hobgoblins? Café Ventana is the solution.
