The coffee shop newsroom: I'll have a large latte and a page 2 feature please

Patrick from the City Desk here with an interesting item out of New Jersey.

Freehold InJersey, a community blog run by the Asbury Park Press (a Gannett publication) has set up a newsroom in the middle of Zebu Forno Cafe, a local coffee shop. Patrons will be able to dish with reporters and editors while enjoying a saucer of their favorite hot caffeinated beverage.

What do you think of this partnership? Would you take the time to chat with a Saratogian reporter working out of Uncommon Grounds, Saratoga Coffee Brewers or any other shop or cafe in town?

I like the idea of spending one day a week filing stories from a cafe, especially if free caffeine is part of the partnership! Let us know what you think!
