Been sitting on this link for awhile—okay, I actually forgot about it—but Jen posted several places in town to get coffee and free wifi awhile back. She's come up with seven items for her list, which is two or three more than I would have.

I'd also add McMenamins Old St. Francis School; they have free wifi on their property and you can certainly get coffee (among other things!) there. (They even roast their own.)

Any others?

Simone suggests a good topic: a collection of wireless hotspots around town. Useful for the laptop set (or wardrivers). (She also suggested a rating system for them, but I'm not that far along.) Between us, we came up with a few:

• DiLusso's: You need to access their site first when going online.
  
• Balay
• Bellatazza (downtown and in Sunriver)
• The Columbia River Bank parking lot—they have an unsecured connection

I also did a quick sweep online for hotspot access maps; I've seen these around before. One site, JiWire, lists 19 spots, five of which are free:

• The Bend Visitor and Convention Bureau
• Bellatazza (again)
• The Phoenix Inn
• Kava Coffee on the westside
• The Crown Villa RV Resort

Interestingly, Google Maps will also show you Bend hotspots... just search for "bend oregon wifi hotspots". This of course gives you a handy map as well. Unfortunately, there's no indication as to which ones of these are free.

Anyone have others to list? We'll start compiling them here...
