What is the proper etiquette at a coffee shop, if there is one? Should you keep you voice down to a minimum? It isn't a library, but then again it isn't a crowded nightclub either. Any other rules or social norms that should be made known of or enforced? I'm sure there are some laptop "rules" I am possibly forgetting about.

Buy some coffee, drink it. GTFO.

People who sit there all day must have small apartments, or a roommate they can't stand.

Yes do keep your voice down, if you can't hear a person two feet away from you go to the ear doctor. A gaggle of people each trying to be heard in the group is very frowned upon.

Depends on the shops ambiance. I've been to one in Pike Place Market in Seattle and it's quite loud.

order a 5 dollar coffee, sit down at small table near window, open MacBook Pro, work on your novel, profit.

No golden rules, but here are a few to make my experience better.

1. If you are waiting inline ahead of me, you should know what you want to order, and have the appropriate method of payment ready.

2. Do not make small talk with me in line unless I make eye contact. I came here for caffine. I am not very nice until I have consumed such caffine.

3. Turn off the sound on your laptop.

4. If I can hear your music from your headphones, it's too loud.

5. Talking is okay, unless you are alone. Earpieces and handsfree calls are never okay. If you are that important, have someone fetch your coffee for you.

6. Excessive snorting, sneezing, and coughing are never oaky. Please order and enjoy your beverage elsewhere.

as a general rule,(restaurants,bars too) I don't really want the whole place to know what i'm talkin about so i'd rather not know what you are talkin about either. I don't hang around long enough anywhere that it has become a problem. This is a "me 1st" world.
