If you had a long, lazy morning...

To study, people watch and organize your thoughts, where would you go to do it? I am taking off next Tuesday to do nothing but have some "me time", and to get my head together a bit. We moved here just over a year ago, and pre-DS, this was my favorite thing to do on lazy day. Since I have never really done this since moving here, I have no clue where to go besides the obvious Starbucks. Any cute coffee shops I should check out? Bonus points if they have free Wifi. I live on the SE part of town, but it doesn't really matter, as I am planning a visit to H&M and the Highlands for a quick new hairdo. Anywhere will do!

My favorite sbux in town is at the REI store downtown. Lots of activity, cool atmosphere and central.

Since you will be in the highlands, common grounds on 32nd and lowell isn't bad. You could get a sandwich or treat at one of the neighboring places. I havn't been there for a few years but they used to have free wifi and comfy chairs. There is also a brazilian place on the corner of 44th and lowell that has good coffee and as far as I remember free wifi.

if you were up north i'd say the wright farms library since there is a cafe in it with some great tables for people watching and i believe they have wifi.  for south side, i'd probably say a sbux if youkre able to study in that kind of environment.

I went to Common Grounds a year and a half ish ago to meet up with a friend and really enjoyed the little (locally owned) shop.  : )

ETA:  And I'm so jealous that you get a "you" day!!!  Enjoy every second!!

All suggestions so far are really good, especially Common Grounds. I love that place.  I would also suggest either Kaladi Brother's (Evans and High) or Stella's Coffeehouse on Old S. Pearl. Both make amazing lattes and attract a very educated, very interesting group of people.
