I remember reading about Erich Kästner, that they kept his typewriter behind the counter in his favourite cafe so he could work there! In Munich, I think it was.
I like the idea that 'real writers' have to hang out in cafes! 
As usual, the menu is tempting.

Oh yes, it was an actual thing. It even has a name: Kaffeehausliteratur
Many writers used to hang out on cafés and so did composers, artists and even architects. Hoffmannsthal, Schnitzler, Schiele, Klimt...

It makes perfect sense. At uni in Bonn, we used to hang out at the student coffee house in the main building (the one Beethoven grew up in). We'd do our work there and get into discussions. It's a good way to exchange ideas.

Oh yes, we did the same. We had a small café in the main courtyard of the uni building.

I want to do that too, but all cafes are currently locked down around here, so I have to make do with home made hot chocolate and whipped cream in front of a roaring fire. This does not sound that bad, now I come to think of it.
