Ask HN: Where are the hackers?

Hello HNers,

I shifted to bay area couple of months ago from Boulder, CO. During my grad school years at Boulder, I used to see/meet lot of people in coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Although, I never worked on the same problem as them but it was fun discussing with them about their next web app or open source application.

Before shifting to San Jose/Santa Clara, I was expecting to see 100x times people I saw in Boulder. But unfortunately I have seen very very few of them here. Am I visiting wrong places?

So here is my question: Which places (coffee shops, sandwich places, etc) do you guys prefer in and around bay area?
