UK and worldwide
Lots of places in England and worldwide do this. But you have to know and remember where. At least one of the coffee-patisserie chains does this. It is on their menu. If you check out the coffee chain websites you'll be able to see what is in your area. They should make a feature of it, as Fellini has done.
Singapore
I used to meet a friend in the coffee bar near Orchard station. We chose the branch opposite Isetan, next to the big bookshop on the corner. We could have a second coffee and just sit. Most people drank just one coffee and went off. But the shop got our business on a regular basis. My friend would often offer to buy me something to eat later as well.
Some of the coffee shops in Singapore city centre have signs up, no homework. Otherwise groups of schoolchildren, ten to twenty of them, might fill up the shop for hours after ordering just one drink.
France
French restaurants have an unwritten rule, my French au pair girl told me years ago, that you can sit as long as you like so long as you order a coffee every hour.
Do you know which places near your home, office, and business or social areas offer a free second coffee? Make a note in your diary. I'll do the same.
