I recently started trying out the Grindstone Cafe for coffee, lunch, and snacks in Rock Bay. Nearby is the Club Kwench co-work facility, which also deserves a blog post! The Grindstone Cafe is a family-run coffee-shop / bistro in Rock Bay, at the foot of…
WAFO-13 Working in the Shanzee zone!
In my top-3 spots to work downtown is in Shanzee’s Biscuit Cafe, in Market Square. I’m usually in there on Friday mornings, as my schedule typically doesn’t have too much Zoom activity in it. I can do a Zoom there, as the Wifi is adequate….

WAFO-6 Market Square Balcony
After grabbing a pizzolo from Mosi across the street, I came over onto the 2nd floor balcony of Market Square to work. This bench is under overhead cover, so provides cover from the rain, and some glare. It is still pretty bright in this location,…
