Dragonfly Cafe welcomes NaNoWriMos!
I tried the space out today. I spoke with the owner and she was thrilled about my idea. The service staff is friendly and very welcoming and enthusiastic about us writers.
I set up a time for next Wednesday. They open at 7:00 am. I plan to be there at 7:30. I will bring a powerstrip. If you have one bring yours as well.
Every Wednesday they make fresh donuts so I thought that would be good incentive. They serve Green Mountain coffee. They have a breakfast, lunch and full service dinner menu. I attached my original post with other details including the location, hours, and contact info.
To prepare for a possible crowd if you would be so kind to RSVP in comments that would be great. That way I can set up more table space as needed. What can I say I worked for NECI and like to create a good event with good guest etiquette ;-)
Stay inspired!

Lots of tables. WIFI. Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Wednesdays they make fresh donuts. I tried the maple glaze. Just the right amount of crisp and the right amount of chewy. Soup, Hot and Cold Sandwiches.
I checked in with the folks to see if they would mind a small to large group descending upon them. Small 3-5 no need to call. IF it seems there is going to be a large group it would be polite to give them a head's up.
They have brunch Sunday and dinner each night so due to "full service" events they are not open for invasion at those times.
Here's the info:

Thanks for the info on the hours, I was looking for somewhere good in Colchester besides my house that I could go and write and since the cafe at the Bayside plaza keeps changing hands and it's hard to tell if it's open or not it's good to know the Dragonfly is there with decent hours!

That sounds like a great spot for NaNoing. I can't make this Wednesday, but would love to take part in another--maybe next Wednesday, if the donuts are worth the trek? Let us know, and thanks for setting this up.

I wish I could go! I'll be not a five minute drive away.... Buuut I have school starting at 7:45, so no weekday morning will work for me. Which is a shame. I've always wanted to go there.
If ever there's a weekend or evening write-in there, I'll do my best to attend for sure!
