What every listing tells you

Measured Wi-Fi

The actual speed we saw on a laptop, not just whether a place has Wi-Fi.

Outlets at the table

How many plugs there are, and whether they actually reach the seats.

Noise level

Quiet, moderate or lively — judged at the time you would actually go.

Laptop policy

Whether you can settle in for the afternoon, and any time limits to know.
