Depressing.

Not just the coffee shop…but the fact that people out in this part of America can feel like “hipsters.”

Here’s a tip: go to NYC or the Bay Area…you’ll find real hipsters there. Until you do, stop trying to conform to the stereotype.

My choice for coffee: go to Ambrosia and just chillax. When it closes, well, go to Dunkin’ and then cry to yourself as you walk to the library.

Isn’t it a bit hypocritical to take an above-it-all stance early on by referring to the “Northwestern caffeine-addled hipster masses,” only to go on to criticize a cafe for not having any cool young people in it to help stimulate your post-modern, Dave Eggers inspired memoir?

Mozart is pretentious and Eggers isn’t? Give me a break. Sorry, I’m just not into the “omg! aren’t I so clever and awesome” schtick.

I like Cafe Mozart. The coffee is good, I like the classical music, and they have excellent frozen yogurt. The ambiance could use some work, but it’s easy to get work down there, and overall, it’s a pretty decent coffee shop. I guess my feeling is that, if you have to be at a coffee house full of pretentious hipsters in order to write, it seems you haven’t got much to say.

I stopped by Cafe Mozart for the first time a few weeks ago to embark on a caffeine-driven creative writing session – it was the closest coffee shop to Kafein, which was closed. I have to say, you put into words what I was thinking during my time there. I walked in, and immediately to my right saw two elderly women chatting animatedly… but that was it. I ordered what turned out to be a delicious iced mocha and eyed the leopard-print sofa with marginal interest, but ultimately walked right out of the place sipping on my drink. Sadly, I found more inspiration at BK.

i like Cafe Mozart because it is a quite space to work in that’s not the library. I love Cafe Ambrosia, but will anyone argue the fact that at night it’s not quite?
