Well, you'd better arrange it with them first. Only the upstairs room would be appropriate for a group discussion, and you'd need to make sure it doesn't collide with scheduled events there (e.g. all Monday evenings and many weekends). You should also guarantee them a minimum amount of patronage to make up for the ad hoc visitors you would displace (they are a nonprofit co-op, after all).<p>I recommend the Assam; real loose leaf tea with your own water pot.
