ING Cafe
What an interesting concept. Financial services and coffee (and baked goods, etc.!). Would it just be a novelty? How long could it last?
I first ran across the ING Cafe a few years ago on a visit to Philadelphia. I had breakfast there and looked over the various ING brochures. The concept of the Internet only bank was still kind of new then and I was inspired to sign up for an account.
When I visited Philadelphia again in January 2008, I made sure to stop by the ING Cafe, but it wasn't open yet when I stopped by. Luckily, I had to make a return trip in February and this time it was open. Not only open, but they were having Sunday special and a coffee, tea, and two muffins were only $4.00! What a bargain!
ING Cafe brews up Peet's Coffee and has Internet access to check your ING accounts or for other purposes.
Additional locations in Chicago, New York City, Wilmington, and Los Angeles.
