   ... and often offer (real) food   
   ... and can be very large and labyrinthian (reading stations tucked into   
       random corners surrounded by twisting corridors of bookcases)   
   ... and, especially when they also offer internet services (which is   
       common), tend to give you some measure of privacy (like a small   
       cubicle with a door) and a comfy chair   
   ... and the employees are usually bored teenagers   
   ... and you pay when you leave.   
      
   They usually offer special low "all night" rates too, so if you can   
   handle the lack of real privacy (or safety for your valuables --   
   solution: coin locker at station), it's might not be a bad place to   
   crash even if you do pay your bill!   
      
   [Seems better than the classic American all-night diner solution   
   anyway.]

   Come now, if we were really planning to harm you, would we be waiting here,   
    beside the path, in the very darkest part of the forest?
