This is a request for a rather specific recommendation. I've been interviewing with a company that does research related to the arts; they're opening an office in the Boston area early next year. I've had several phone interviews that have gone quite well, and I'm meeting with my potential boss (a former Harvard student) on Friday afternoon. They don't have local space yet, and she says she misses Davis so we should meet at a coffee shop near me. I'd generally default to the Diesel, but I'm concerned about both finding a table and about getting interrupted (because everyone I know hangs out at the Diesel). Any thoughts? Starbucks seems a bit too corporate. Maybe Mr. Crepe?

ETA: The interview is at 2 pm on Friday. Not primo coffee shop activity hour.

ETA: Thanks for all the awesome selections. I've opted for iYo for a few reasons: 1) She specifically requested a coffee place in Davis Square; while there are plenty of awesome suggestions below which are either not in Davis or not coffee houses, I did want the opportunity of showing that yes, I am capable of quickly, efficiently, and competently doing what is requested of me (it's a client-facing job, this is an important skill to have and demonstrate), 2) several people whom I know and respect have suggested it, and 3) I've never been there before.

Yeah, I had an interview at Diesel too, but bumping into people wasn't the issue. It gets super noisy there with the high ceilings, so I had a hard time hearing my soon-to-be-boss at normal conversation volume.
