Cafe Francisco is a nice place to get coffee in downtown Memphis (400 N. Main St). For just a couple bucks, you can get a beautiful cappuccino covered by a nice thick blanket of froth, served in a real cup, on a dish, with a stick of rock candy on the side. And you can sit in a comfy chair of your choice, spread out, and enjoy free wireless internet. From the couch where I took this photo, you can see the wooden tables near the bar and the red booth by the window. Behind are more couches in a library area, then a long row of wooden booths up a couple stairs where people can eat, visit or study.

Below is a view of the side. I like the music sheets on the piano, the way the table legs curve up, how the letters and envelopes are spilling out of the organizer, and that spot on the wall where the plaster or paint is peeled off and brick is exposed.

This is what a coffee house should look like.
