Good writing spots around Davis Sq?

I'm looking for a few places to get away from home and do some writing. Top requirements would be a quiet atmosphere, a place to sit for a few hours at a stretch and free wireless. True Grounds has been my default for awhile, but I'd like to add a few to my list, especially if they have later hours.

Where do y'all like to sit/think/write?

Worth noting that True Grounds will be limiting its wifi as of Feb. 1 (one hour free with purchase of coffee/food, after that you need to pay). Of course I still <3 them.

The public libraries in general have free wifi; if you don't mind going a bit farther afield, Cambridge/Arlington/Lexington main libraries are just much nicer spaces.

I used to do 1369 in Inman a lot when I lived in Union, and if I still lived in Union I'd be doing Sherman and Bloc 11 a lot, but I don't know the wireless situation at 1369 and Sherman (at Bloc 11 it's the same as the Diesel, so not, alas, free).

Another vote for the Arlington library. I wrote a good chunk of my thesis in the reading room there.

I think Sherman's wi-fi is free with purchase, but I don't remember if they had a time limit or not.
