Is this a good place to have some coffee and read or work on a laptop?

Not that kind of place, more like old fashione speak easy

No, not at all. You will most likely not be able to even sit down unless you are ordering a meal, & even then you will only have a limited time at your table.

Would not recommend for that.

No the best

Bring headphones and you'll be fine

It's not. Usually they're pretty stuffed and noisy

No
