i'm going to expand on Zarine's recent comment on my post the other day (Why Coffee and Donuts), specifically her thought on combining a coffeeshop and a bookstore under one roof.
if i'm not mistaken, this concept is already being carried out by PowerBooks (Greenbelt Branch). they do have a small coffeeshop there, don't they? i think it's on the 2nd floor (or maybe 3rd?). of course, the whole place is basically a commercial library of sorts so the coffeeshop is practically an island in a sea of bookshelves. it's almost like an afterthought.
but i share zarine's point. i wish there was some way that they can put up a place that's really 50% cafe/50% bookstore. and there should be more appetizing food choices so the patrons will really be tempted to curl up, read, drink cofee and eat (of course!).
