Pic number one is definitely more comfortable. Because you don't have to be around so many people. You have your own private environment. Listen to an audiobook, zone out, drink some coffee, sounds perfect.
I know you're getting downvoted, but I agree. I have lost most of my tolerance for people in businesses at this point. Too many rude, inconsiderate jerks treating the staff poorly and acting like they own the place. I'm not saying sitting in your car waiting for it is good either, but compared to dealing with horrible people, I'll take it.
Now, if you're lucky, you'll find a coffee shop with decent clientele. If you're lucky.
Maybe this whole car/big business environment contribute to the this.
Where I live I know the name or faces of most people who attend my local café, which is run by an old dude and his wife, I think this leads to a more friendlier place then let say, a big chain store with new staff every couple weeks who can't care less about the place and also customers who sees the place as only somewhere where you go to buy stuff and leave.
