I was wondering what everyone's favorite places to write (outside their home) are. I know we're all big coffee shop fans, and my friends and I recently went on a "coffee shop tour of Greeley/Evans." To our surprise, there were many more coffee shops than we thought; to our dismay, most of them close ridiculously early. Anyway, here's a list of some what we visited [excluding Starbucks, which doesn't count in my mind].
+Margie's Java Joint - 10th Ave and 16th St - closes at 7 (at least on Mondays)
+Your Place Coffee - 2308 W. 17th St. (in the strip near Walgreen's) - Open till 9 p.m., great atmosphere, AND they have BUBBLE TEA (I've been looking for Bubble Tea in Greeley FOREVER) http://www.yourplacecoffee.com
+Deja Brew - 818 31st, Evans (weird location for a coffee shop, but I've heard they're good) - closes at 6 p.m. except Sat. (9 p.m.)
+The Buzz Coffee and Gelato - 1923 59th Ave - Their website says they close at 9, but I was there once and they closed at 7, so... but they have good coffee and GELATO (another thing I was excited to find in Greeley) http://www.thebuzzcoffeeandgelato.net
+The Coffee Shop next to Morgan Floral (I have no clue what its name is) - 23rd Ave and Reservoir Rd. - You have to really LOOK for this place, it's pretty hidden. You'll see the yellow "Great Coffee" sign out front. They close super early (like 5 or 6) but the place is really cute and cozy, and the coffee is good.
There are other coffee shops in Greeley, I'm sure, so if you know of any, go ahead and add them! Also add other places you like to write (I LOVE diners, truck stops, parks, libraries, etc)

I'm replying to this topic as a means of boosting my ideas of WHERE to write.
My favorite place to write, outside the home, is actually Panera!! I wrote 2,300 words one day while waiting for my kids to get done with school! I really do enjoy writing at home, too, but if I HAD to go elsewhere, it would definitely be Panera in Broomfield or Longmont!
I like to have Internet access and that is the only local place to get the best of both worlds for free: coffee and Internet!
