people go to coffee shops rather than drink coffee at home because it gives them a break from home! my husband works from home and goes out to work in jam circus or hop scotch just for a chance to be around other human beings during the day. nothing to do with being a young professional.

plus people tend not to go to greasy spoons, not necessarily because they are snobs, but because you come out smelling like an egg and bacon sandwich and the chairs/tables are not very comfortable. plus they dont really make very good coffee nor do they have wifi.
