Here's a great story on Taxi, the ad agency in Vancouver, Canada who also operate a cafe at the front of their house.

There are 3 reasons why I like it...

1. It puts a face to the agency and helps it interact with its local community
2. It forces agency folk to interact with real people instead of peers
3. It's a business, so junior folks and anyone who's interested can learn basic fundamentals of what it takes to sell and market

Our business badly needs to do more of this stuff.
