Part sanctuary and part library, this cozy shop serves customers tea and coffee drinks and is outfitted with four reclining sofas separated from each other by thin glass walls. If you don't own an e-book reader, rent one of their Kindle 4 devices and pick a book from their e-library. If you already own a Kindle but don't want to purchase a new book from Amazon, Novel Haven can buy the title for you: pay them the full price and when you're done reading, they give you a 50 per cent refund. Call ahead to book a sofa.
Membership rates: $150 for 10 sessions, $300 for 25 sessions, $500 for 50 sessions; all with one free premium coffee or tea. Check Novel Haven on Facebook for deals.
