I love doing this. I usually find that two hours working at a coffee shop is worth four at home or in the office.

It's also especially good when the place has no WiFi (a rarity these days) and I'm too lazy to tether my phone.




I've also found that adding these sorts of limitations to my work environment—no Wifi, for instance—can really boost my productivity.

I download local copies of documentation and APIs for reference and then set up at a coffee shop near me with no Wifi or power outlets. I find it's most useful at the start of a project when I have trouble just getting something down, sort of like staring at a blank page when you have a paper to write in college.
