Cafes work in Allentown
Allentown has a steady coffee trade. The city centre, the hospital and college campuses, and the office blocks along Hamilton Street all put people within walking distance of a counter, and the surrounding boroughs and townships add their own neighbourhood spots. Searches for coffee, breakfast, a place to sit with a laptop and a place to meet someone run through the year in this city. Chains hold the busy corners, and owner operators hold the rest, often on the strength of a single street or a single regular crowd. The demand is there to be found, and the searches that matter are the local ones: a person on a phone, a few blocks away, deciding where to go next.
