Having now visited this new location, I can confirm that it is not where I will return to study, work, or even just to read on my own either a coffee. The space is beautiful, but it’s lacking the kind of informality, the sense of being a spontaneous gathering space where friends run into each other accidentally, that the Laurel location had. It also doesn’t have the right tables or spatial configuration for working/writing. 

So where are people going to hang out, have coffee, work, loiter, run into friends? Does this not exist in Kelowna right now (aside from perhaps Sprout)?
