Mr. Spot’s Chai House, a hippy inspired hang out spot (spevia, incense, Tibetan prayer flags, chai, people still talking about Burning Man) in Ballard, that manages to be clean, and comfortable. Amazing tea selection, decent espresso drinks, incredible chai (you find their product available at many Seattle coffee shops), plentiful, if poorly distributed, power outlets. Wireless (and wired) net connection is free, get the WEP key from sign above complimentary Mac.

I recommend not coming on open mic night (Thursday) if you’re trying to get work done (note, they also start serving beer at some point in the evening), but a Ruby Tuesday Chai, with its double shot of lemon juice makes a great Sunday morning wake up alternative to caffeine.
