It's already a big thing in Europe and now it's made its way to the United States.

A place called Williamsburg’s Glasshour just opened in Brooklyn, New York, and it's being hailed as the first of its kind in America.

The concept: A cafe that charges by the hour for unlimited coffee and snacks.

STEP 1: You pay $6 for one hour. That gets you unlimited coffee and snacks, like granola bars.

STEP 2: After the first hour, you pay an additional 10 cents per minute, up to a maximum amount of $24. So, you'll end up paying the maximum once you hit the four-hour mark. Everything is "on the house" after that point.

The place also has board games, as well as a PlayStation 4. That is, if you just want to come in and play — instead of work — while you drink! They even hashtag many of their tweets with "#anticafe."

The owner says the idea puts an emphasis on "communication over consumption”.

So what do you think? Could Rochester put up with a coffee joint like this? Would you go?
