Briefly

I'm a frequent passenger on Amtrak and have traveled in business class and coach. The best seat isn't where you'd expect.
"The best part is that I'm able to come and go at my leisure, since the car is open to all ticketed passengers on the train. I also think it has a number of advantages over the coach and even business-class sections. For example, the first-come, first-served table seating gives me plenty of space to comfortably set up my laptop and notebook so I can get some work done on the train."
"A few times a year, I take Amtrak trains to travel to destinations along the East Coast. I've found it's an efficient way to travel between Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., especially when I'm looking to avoid rush hour traffic in those cities. I've traveled in coach and the quiet car - and have even paid premium prices for business-class seats. But in my opinion, the best spot on the train isn't in any of these spots."
"Each table can seat up to four passengers, but sometimes, I get lucky and have the whole space to myself. Typically, though, I end up sharing a table with one other person, which is nice because I can ask them to keep an eye on my things while I use the restroom or stretch my legs. Plus, this car is a nice option when I'm traveling with groups of friends, so we can comfortably chat at side-by-side tables."
Frequent Amtrak traveler prefers the café car for its openness to all ticketed passengers and lack of special-ticket requirement. The café car provides booth-style, first-come, first-served table seating that accommodates up to four people and offers ample space and legroom for laptops, notebooks, and comfortable work. Passengers can come and go at leisure, sometimes securing whole tables or sharing with one person who can watch belongings. The space suits groups who want to sit side-by-side and chat. The café also offers a fairly extensive menu as an onboard dining option.
