Ironically I usually stick on rainymood to block *out* the cafe noise. Maybe I should try both at the same time. I prefer http://rainymood.com – same idea.

As it stands - it's looped, I know it's looped, I'm now looking out for the loops, and the more I hear the repeated "I shouldn't!" in the mix, the more irritable I become. Perhaps this is best for calmer folk. Great idea, however an actual, single ambient recording of a coffee shop may have been preferable.
