Review from Kerri W.

This is interesting because there's a neon sign in the window that says they're open 24 hours but I've called and gone there at 2:30am and discovered they're not. This is likely due to the labour shortage in our city. They are open quite late, generally until 2am.
When you walk in, the first thing you see is an impressive bar - mainly serving coffee and dessert items. There are bar stools all along it and a copy of each local newspaper.
I ordered a mocha, which I thought was a little steeply priced at $4.50 but when it arrived (they do serve it to you) it was larger than expected and tasted great.
There are a total of nine computers available, I think I counted two or three Macs, the rest PCs. The rates are reasonable.
At the back was a stage with a drum kit and keyboard on it. It seems they have some live music on occasion. In front of the stage was a large square coffee table with some magazines scattered on it surrounded by some deflated-looking leather couches. Along the opposite wall, which was interesting exposed brick, was a chess table set up and ready to go with a pair of well worn and torn leather chairs.
There was interesting art hanging on all the walls.
The bathroom was unimpressive. There were two stalls - one without a lock. There was an almost finished roll of toilet paper on the back of one of the toilets and that's it. There was a lot of writing all over the walls inside the stalls. No swearing or anything, some almost thoughtful ponderings and a commentary about Harry Potter.
No one goes to an internet cafe for the washrooms anyway. -

Naked is a cybercafe opened 24 hours. It attracts a wide clientele, from students desperate to finish a term paper, to middle aged women who want to spend an hour surfing the Internet. Naked serves different kinds of coffees and teas, and a few finger foods. Don't go there expecting to have a meal though, maybe just a light snack.
There is no WiFi for those of you who would prefer to bring your own laptops. However, the owner mentioned to me that a laptop could be patched in to the cable connection, although I do not know if there is a cost for that or not.
Naked is often host to music and art shows. There is a stage with a drum kit at the back of the shop, and lots of wall space. Yes, like Kerri mentioned in her review, the bathrooms are rather nasty.Listed in: The Places I Go Out

Naked Cyber & Expresso Bar is a 24 hours cyber cafe. On any given day you will find all kinds of people here, from students doing school work to people that just want to browse the internet.
They serve coffee, tea and some snacks. Now some people might be mistaken that they can bring their laptops to this place and work away but they do not have wireless internet here. I would assume you can connect your laptop to their internet connection if you asked them but this probably costs quite a bit. They also carry PC's and MACs.
They also host live music every now and then on their stage near the back which is pretty cool. It's not just a place to go to use computers. They have a bit more to offer but not a lot more. -

Naked is a cyber-cafe, one of the first ones to make a go of it in E-town. Maybe that's because it's open 24 hours a day. I've come here a few times when I had to work on projects late at night that had deadlines the next day. When I need a break from working at home but don't want to worry about closing time, this is a good option. It's pretty subdued, and most people here have their nose stuck in terminals with earphones on. There's chess table at the back, so sometimes people play, but mostly it's calm and relaxing. The walls are dark, and the lights are dim; no fluorescents here. They sell coffee and a few food items, but mostly make their money on computer and Internet rentals. This place is cash only, so come with real dough. No virtual stuff accepted here - ironically.
