Who needs an office when you have Take 5 :-) ? Now if only James and Adrian could join us at Take 5, 429 Granville truly would be our office!

But its four main employees meet every day at the popular Zoka coffee shop in Seattle's university district.
"It's cheap rent and a fun environment," said Matas. "We go down there every day with our laptops and work. It's an incredible place. They have two or three of the top baristas in the country (the awards are on the wall). We pay our rent by buying coffee.... They love us. We're some of their best customers."
As well as creamy lattes, the coffee shop offers wireless internet access and big, bench-like tables that several people can gather around. Often, Delicious Monster's entire seven-person staff will work there.
"When we started, there was just two of us working in an office we set up in Wil's house," Matas said. "It lasted a week. When there's just two of you, you can't stay in one room all day."

I can attest to this, Boris and Roland introduced me to Take 5 as soon as I arrived in Vancouver and I've been there pretty much every workday since. The neat part is that the staff are really friendly and totally cool with me spending all day there - I'm even getting to know a few of them personally.
Oh, and does Richard not like coffee or something?

Oh, I like coffee alright. I just hasn't been downtown that much this month, so I haven't been to the second office in a while. This week I'll be there for sure. Good food, good vibe, comfy couches, good mochas and free wi-fi make for a happy Richard.
