All-day Café
An all-day café is a dining establishment that generally serves distinct menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, switching from a casual, work-friendly atmosphere for breakfast and lunch to a more formal menu and setting in the evening. The restaurants remain open between courses, offering drinks including coffee, and food including pastries and small plates. All-day cafés tend to serve health-conscious menus, with an emphasis on vegetables. Several founders of all-day establishments have expressed a desire to provide a communal "third place" where, for instance, freelancers ''Freelance'' (sometimes spelled ''free-lance'' or ''free lance''), ''freelancer'', or ''freelance worker'', are terms commonly used for a person who is self-employed and not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term.

Third Place
In sociology, the third place refers to the social surroundings that are separate from the two usual social environments of home ("first place") and the workplace ("second place"). Examples of third places include churches, cafes, clubs, public libraries, bookstores and parks. In his book '' The Great Good Place'' (1989), Ray Oldenburg argues that third places are important for civil society, democracy, civic engagement, and establishing feelings of a sense of place. Robert Putnam addressed issues related to third place, but without using the term, in '' Bowling Alone: America's Declining Social Capital'' (1995, 2000). Oldenburg's characteristics Oldenburg calls one's "first place" the home and the people the person lives with. The "second place" is the workplace—where people may actually spend most of their time. Third places, then, are "anchors" of community life and facilitate and foster broader, more creative interaction. In other words, "your third place is where you ...

Freelancers
''Freelance'' (sometimes spelled ''free-lance'' or ''free lance''), ''freelancer'', or ''freelance worker'', are terms commonly used for a person who is self-employed and not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term. Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labor to clients; others work independently or use professional associations or websites to get work. While the term ''independent contractor'' would be used in a different register of English to designate the tax and employment classes of this type of worker, the term "freelancing" is most common in culture and creative industries, and use of this term may indicate participation therein. Fields, professions, and industries where freelancing is predominant include: music, writing, acting, computer programming, web design, graphic design, translating and illustrating, film and video production, and other forms of piece work that some cultural theor ...

Both lived near Dimes's original location, and sensed "a hole" in the neighborhood that they sought to fill with their restaurant. DeSousa has also said that their original ambition was to "have a place where we could hang out with our friends." The pair was also inspired by frequent trips to Whole Foods, the only place near their apartments "for us to get a healthy and delicious meal."

Res Ipsa (Philadelphia Restaurant)
Res Ipsa Cafe was a restaurant and café located in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood of Philadelphia. It was a collaboration between the owners of Philadelphia cafe chain ReAnimator Coffee and Tyler Akin, a chef and the owner of Philadelphia restaurant Stock. During the day, Res Ipsa Cafe served coffee and light food, but after 5:30 served a dinner menu with primarily Sicilian-inspired dishes. History Res Ipsa's storefront was previously occupied by the kitchen of an adjacent restaurant. When the owners of ReAnimator Coffee. Mark Corpus and Mark Capriotti, were shown the space by a broker, they determined a coffee shop would not produce enough income to justify the rent. They contacted the owner and chef of Philadelphia restaurant Stock to work with them to produce substantial dinner menus to serve in the evening. Construction to turn the storefront into a functional restaurant began in 2016, and the restaurant opened later that year. The restaurant was an “ all-day afé�� ...
